# Coverted Monastery Boutique Hotels Archiloop Transforms a Monastery into the Vocabolo Moscatelli By Amy Duong | Published 2024-03-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vocabolo-moscatelli References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/02/18/vocabolo-moscatelli-hotel-archiloop-monastery-italy/?li_source=LI&li_medium=rhs_block_1) & [vocabolomoscatelli](https://www.vocabolomoscatelli.com/)  Florence design studio Archiloop transforms what was once a 12th-century monastery located in Italy's Umbria region to the now [Hotel Vocabolo Moscatelli](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-calimala-milano) [boutique hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafted-at-powdermills). The rustic surroundings remain to retain the site's charm throughout the entire renovation process. The hotel is by the countryside along the [Tuscan border](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borgo-san-vincenzo) on a remote estate with greenery surrounding it. The hotel team speaks about the design notion, stating "Vocabolo Moscatelli brings together the stone mason, blacksmith, and woodworker with the artisan makers: ceramicists, tile makers, and painters, creating a boutique style canvas that plays homage to the past while bringing in the design references of the now. Threaded smoothly together, the effect is a template of rustic simplicity with heart."
