The Monteleone, a new boutique hotel located on the border of rural Umbria and Tuscany has officially opened its doors. Set among the rolling hills of Monteleone d’Orvieto, one of Italy’s most evocative hilltop villages, framed by medieval walls, olive groves and verdant countryside, the 17 room retreat promises intentional slow living, offering a timeless sanctuary rooted in its surroundings, where guests are invited to pause and rediscover the beauty of simplicity.

The Monteleone occupies a carefully restored 19th century home which preserves the architectural legacy of the original rural residence, guided by a deep respect for the heritage and traditions of its ancient village. As well as its spacious guest rooms and suites, guests can take advantage of the hotel’s outdoor pool, taking in breathtaking panoramic views across the Umbrian hills, relax in its open-air spa, or partake in a scenic workout in its fully-equipped gym. Celebrating the rich culinary heritage of the region and its award-winning produce, The Monteleone’s Bistro and Pool Bar serves up a curated menu of local Umbrian delicacies and wines throughout the day.

Guests of The Monteleone can stay in one of six room categories - from Superior Room to Suite. Six of The Monteleone’s 17 rooms come complete with their own private garden featuring sun loungers
and a table for al fresco snacks and aperitivo, while its Signature Suite includes a dedicated relaxation area featuring a standalone bath tub. Each telling its own unique story, the rooms have been designed to invite calm and a sense of wellbeing, combining purposeful pieces that focus on form and function with a soft, neutral palette to offer a relaxed, uncluttered environment.

A defining chapter of The Monteleone’s identity is its collaboration with Rome-based architecture and design firm, STUDIOTAMAT, who curated four of the retreat’s signature suites – including the Superior Garden Suite and the Deluxe Serra Suite – each conceived as an intimate micro-environment that balance craftsmanship, proportion, and emotional resonance.
