Where we are:

The Resort & SPA Beauty Farm Trasimeno is situated on the site of an Olivetani Brotherhood monastery. The Brotherhood originated in San Secondo on Polvese island. The resort includes a small, deconsecrated chapel with a vaulted ceiling, dating back to 1495. Known in ancient times as "Saint Mary of the Pines", it was home to Francesco Della Robbia's "Madonna with Child", a work that can now be found in the church of Sant'Ansano in Petrignano del Lago.
An ancient text refers to the chapel being constructed on a site that was "... famous for miracles..." indicating that once upon a time something miraculous or extraordinary occurred there. The area belonged to the monks and was used principally as a Benedictine hostel, complete with sleeping quarters, and a small monastery or cenoby, where a small community lived and cultivated the land.
After the suppression of the Olivetani monks in 1833 the church’s property was passed on to the Camaldolesi monks, who sold it to private buyers.
