The renovation of the rooms dates back to 2003 – 2007 with a subsequent restyling in 2014. The main suite overlooking the cliff of Orvieto and the Romanesque church of the abbey was completely renovated in 2003 – 2004.

Not far from the main complex is the pool area, consisting of an underground building to be restored that would include the changing rooms, an outdoor bar, the water filtration rooms, the closet and the showers. For these rooms, there is also an extension project for the realization of a wellness centre.

As mentioned previously, the property is also authorized to use the splendid medieval church present in the complex, which however is not owned.

This lovely Hotel business property is surrounded by about 11.6 hectares of land with woodland (3.6 ha), olive groves (1.6 ha) and arable land (6.4 ha).
