Marcello Murzilli

Founder & GM Eremito

At just over twenty years of age, he founded El Charro that, in the "paninari" period, quickly became a leading brand in the world of fashion and an authority in the field of trends.

Just when his company was at its peak, the appeal of more essential things and a deep need for renewal pushed its creator to leave everything behind and set off on a trip around the world. More than a holiday, it was a long journey of self-discovery, which lasted about 2 years and led her to cross oceans and get to know different cultures.

It was there, in one of her most distant destinations, that the total turnaround and the great challenge took place: the creation, in a Mexican Pacific jungle, of the Hotelito Desconocido. From the idea of combining his entrepreneurial experience with those accumulated during a life journey, the little dream was turned into a hotel luxury built on piles of timber and mud, becoming one of the most renowned eco-resorts in the world.

Like in Mexico, the love of adventure, the spirit of sharing and the desire to create a small oasis of peace in the heart of an enchanted location, were the inputs that prompted the Italian entrepreneur to create, using his own strength, the Eremito Hotelito del Alma, in Umbria.

After four years of relentless work, emotion became sacrifice and passion. Today, in the midst of those unspoilt valleys, (a UNESCO Nature Reserve) its authentic splendour has returned.

The Eremito: a historic eremitic village that, thanks to the help provided by a team of tireless men, the once abandoned ruin become a contemporary monastery, frequented by lonely travellers who love nature and silence, far away from the digital world (digital detox).
