Surrounded by 42-hectares of greenery and flower filled gardens, the hotel is set within a charming historic house, which was once a monastery with an 18th-century church. Set in a striking context: the countryside around the ancient part of Vallo di Lauro, a destination well-known for its archaeological findings and for the production of important national grapes, the Certosa is situated in a strategic position just a few hundred metres from the historical centre of Lauro. The building houses 45 elegantly furnished rooms and a fully equipped meeting room that can host up to 800 people. The cloister is particularly fascinating and the internal restaurant is named after it.
The monastery, built between 1197 and 1209 at Lauro, a medieval small town in Avellino province, soon became a place of spiritual refuge and agricultural production (very famous for the quality of its products). In 1620 it became an Abbey and in the following century was transformed into a magnificent country residence.
