We wish to offer tourists a unique experience in a unique place, with regard to both the natural environment and the cultural heritage, precious gifts for future generations.

This is the mission of the Monastery of Santo Spirito, a very special place embedded in history, nature and culture, inviting passing tourists to stop and rest, if they are willing to be "enchanted".

Today the Monastery-Fortress is owned by the town of Ocre and has undergone long restoration work that began in 1970 and was partially concluded in 2000.
At present, the Monastery is managed by the Monasterio society and is a perfect venue for cultural meetings as well as for leisurely touring, providing a modern use for such a prestigious historical site and returning to the original purpose of the internal areas.

Cuisine

The main ingredients of our cuisine are “memory” and “identity” because these are what constitute the old and simple recipes of this region.

The first courses include homemade pasta and vegetables soups. The second courses are based on beef and mutton straight from our pasture lands; in winter, until supplies have been exhausted, the restaurant offers the traditional local produce of pork. Pecorino cheese, mozzarella and other tasty cheeses from sheep and cow’s milk will tease your palate, complimented by homemade, wheat, spelt, wholemeal breads baked in wood-fired oven.
Fresh vegetables and fruit enrich our table, together with the black truffle, saffron, red chillies and the traditional cakes and biscuits such as the crunchy amber-coloured ferratelle, the sugared nuts or the soft sponge cake.
Guests can taste our D.O.C wines, from the vineyards of our region, and the spirits flavoured with herbs,
soft fruit, wild cherries and fresh nuts.
