Fodor's Expert Review Hermitage

The entryway's marble relief of St. Theodolus reminds you that this was once a hermitage, but asceticism has given way to comfort and elegance—a fire is always glowing in the enormous hearth, the dining room is candlelit, the bright bedrooms have balconies, and the suites have antique fireplaces and 18th-century furnishings. You can enjoy its extensive health and beauty amenities and play 18 holes at the Cervino Golf Club. Note that summer rates are roughly half what they are in winter.
