Borghi dell'Eremo stands at an ancient crossroads, which guaranteed the Etruscan people safe passage between Chiusi and Perugia. In this area, called Monte Reale, the Abbey of San Giovanni dell'Eremo was founded in the 12th century, where Camaldolese monks dedicated themselves to glass fusion according to a technique inherited from the Romans. Over the centuries, the abbey became a prosperous estate from which the Curia derived income from logging and agricultural production, until it became a private property that was passed on to various families, Moretti, Cofano and Galletti, who took turns on this territory. The Galletti family, the current owners, began the restoration of the estate starting with the farm, recovering hundreds of abandoned olive trees and planting new fruit trees. Then began the recovery of "La Crocicchia" with the goal of creating an exclusive location for events and weddings. In 2016, the family decided to renovate the ancient Abbey and the adjoining Farmhouse to create a hospitality, dining and wellness area. In 2021, Borgo San Giovanni dell'Eremo opened its doors, offering elegant yet human-scale hospitality that puts human relations and quality of services first, as well as an extraordinary revival of Umbrian cuisine.
The Borghi dell'Eremo, a stunning 500-hectare estate, is a hidden gem among the rolling hills that divide Umbria and Tuscany.
