They Turned a 12th-Century Monastery Into a Luxury Hotel

Most people don’t look at a 12th-century monastery in rural Umbria and think, “We should turn this into a hotel.” Cathi Lutjens and Fred Kubierschki did.

Glenn Haussman talks with the owners and operators of Vocabolo Moscatelli about leaving the corporate hospitality world, taking a chance on an unusual opportunity, and building a hotel around the character of the monastery, the region, the food and the kind of hospitality they wanted to create themselves.

Their story is less about opening another boutique hotel and more about having the confidence to build something personal enough that people would travel specifically to experience it.

See how Cathi and Fred turned an old monastery in an under-the-radar part of Italy into an unforgettable luxury hotel experience.
