Our structure is located within the Monte Barro Park and is equipped with 50 beds, multifunctional rooms and outdoor space.
The Park is accessible by public transports. There are three main train stations and a bus stop where you will find directions to the path leading up to the Monte Barro Hermitage. You can also reach us by car or by a private shuttle bus service (contact us for an estimate).
