In Italy, hell is not other people. It’s the crowds. You can’t escape them. Or the lines. Or the noise.
Which is why Vocabolo Moscatelli is such a gift. Tucked away in the green and gentle rolling hills of Umbria and comprising some buildings that were, until recently, the remains of a 12th-century monastery situated between Arezzo and the medieval town of Perugia, it is now a modern-day sanctuary of serenity. It’s the kind of place that you’ve always longed to discover in the Italian countryside. Best of all, there are so few people that you can’t help but feel the place is all your own.
