The halls are all very characteristic, with decorated ceilings, brick vaults, original terracotta floors and perfectly preserved original frescoes. The history of the convent begins in the 11th century, when in the same place there was a church dedicated to San Clemente. The convent itself was built around 1331 and was managed by several priors over the following centuries. Details from the 15th and 16th centuries are a bit scarce since the area of Perugia underwent a pretty significant turmoil in those years. in 1727 the convent was bought by the Florentine family Cesari that transformed part of the building into a private luxury home, incorporating the church that became more of a manorial chapel at that point. Together with the conversion, the family also restored the other parts of the convent that shifted from a Romanesque style to a more modern and elaborate Baroque style. Passing though several hands between 19th and 20th century, what was at that point just a manorial villa was ultimately converted in 1990 into the beautiful hotel visible nowadays.
