Striking the perfect balance of seclusion without solitude, Monastero Santa Rosa allows guests to determine the tone of their stay, whether they’re looking to disappear for an intimate getaway or gather with the group and make new acquaintances. It’s hard to imagine that the generous grounds, filled with four levels of gardens, lush landscaping, plentiful lounge chairs, and canopied daybeds, serve just 20 rooms and suites. 

Engage in a game of chess or cards at the library or read a book while sipping a martini in the modern cocktail area. Relax down by the pool or discover the resort’s secret gardens, quiet sun decks, and indoor relaxation areas. Get the best of both worlds by making your stay as energizing or relaxed as you wish, by selecting different spaces to suit your mood at any time.

Each of the 20 rooms and suites reflects beauty, charm and understated elegance while exuding the peaceful mood of a private estate home complete with rare antiques and spectacular sea views. Although the walls house the history of a 17th-century monastery, every room contains all the luxury comforts and amenities of a five-star hotel, including a flat-screen television, complimentary high-speed internet access throughout the property, an in-room safe and 24-hour room service.

All in-house guests enjoy daily complimentary use of the Spa’s 70-square-meter/753-square-foot Thermal Suite, consisting of connected spaces encouraging a sequential choice of relaxation and well-being within the Stone Sauna, a Domed Herbal Steam Room, a Hydrotherapy Pool, an Experience Shower, a Crushed Ice Fountain and Tepidarium.
