Monastero Santa Rosa traces its roots back to the 17th century when it was established as a sanctuary for the nuns of the Congregation of the Santa Rosa da Lima.

In recent years, however, it has been meticulously restored and transformed into a luxury hotel, while preserving its original charm and architectural grandeur.

This iconic vista, along with other viewpoints throughout the property, provides an awe-inspiring backdrop that evokes a sense of tranquility and wonder.
Monastero Santa Rosa is enveloped by lush and meticulously maintained gardens that exude an air of tranquility and serenity. Vibrant bougainvillea, fragrant citrus trees, and elegant sculptures adorn the terraced landscapes, creating a feast for the senses. Hidden nooks with panoramic viewpoints offer moments of reflection and connection with the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Beyond the breathtaking views and serene gardens, Monastero Santa Rosa offers a range of luxurious amenities and experiences. The hotel features elegantly appointed rooms and suites, each with its own unique charm and character. Guests can indulge in spa treatments inspired by ancient wellness traditions or savor gourmet meals crafted by Chef Alfonso Crescenzo at the Michelin-starred restaurant, Il Refettorio.
Monastero Santa Rosa has a rich culinary heritage that is deeply rooted in its monastic history. The hotel’s focus on culinary innovation continues to this day, as it draws on its heritage to serve guests world-class meals in a world-class location.

From traditional recipes to innovative creations, each dish tells a story and reflects the dedication to culinary excellence.
Additional dining options include the relaxed Il Mezzogiorno Poolside Café, where guests can enjoy a casual meal while taking in the stunning views, and the library bar area, a cozy space to savor snacks and light bites while unwinding.
