Once a sanctuary for monks, steeped in history and mystery.
The heritage is built in the 16th century, carefully restored.
Preserving its historic facade on the outskirts of charming Nardò, along the country road leading to the coast. Our restoration honors its legacy by maintaining the original spirit and purpose of the spaces. The cloister - a communal center - is at the heart of all activities, embodying a sense of belonging. It’s a place where like-minded individuals come to heal, connect, and enjoy each other’s company. Our philosophy centers on the healing power of the hands: creating, doing, and crafting as a way to rediscover oneself.
This approach blends the past with the present, inviting guests to embrace community, creativity, and personal renewal, staying true to the monastery's historical role as a center for learning and cultural influence in medieval times.
Local lore whispers of a hidden tunnel connecting the monastery to the coast at Porto Selvaggio, a pristine wild pine reserve.
