Marulivo Hotel was born in the shape of a dream, the dream of the ones who fell in love with this area many years ago, and decided to turn an old collapsed building into a boutique hotel.
Thanks to a long and thoughtful restoration – realized by using ancient construction techniques – this XIV Century monastery finally regained its lost beauty.
The hotel is today located in what used to be the ancient convent tower, dedicated to Saint Catherine from Alessandria, in the heart of Pisciotta’s medieval district.
The convent was probably as ancient as the oldest part of what once was Pisciotta’s castle, the Marquis’ Palace, and likely its escape hatch during the longest sieges.
During the course of history this ancient monastery changed its purpose many times, becoming also a noble residential palace before being abandoned for almost a century.
In the past, the building has been owned by a woman, member of Pisciotta’s powerful Pinto family, and today its owner is a young woman from Rome whose last name happens to be Pinto as well. Again, the Universe may not always play fair, but it does have one terrific sense of humor.
Now, here where the eye can’t tell where the horizon splits the skies and the sea, you can find the magic of enjoying spending time surrounded by ancient walls.
