Since September 2013, thanks to the new management of Legambiente, you can spend the night at the Hermitage of Monte Barro. From here you can enjoy the beauties of this Regional Natural Park, with breathtaking views over Lake Como and the surrounding mountains and lakes of the Brianza. This protected natural environment also offers a rich cultural background in history, archeology and biodiversity.
The hostel, which has 50 beds, is divided into two parts: the Orchid section, with rooms for 2, 3 or 4 people (all rooms with their own bathroom and shower) and the Squirrel section, with rooms for 2, 3, 4 or 10 people with their own washbasins along with communal toilets and showers on the main floor. Both sections also have kitchens and a dining room for self-prepared meals.
Most of the hostel’s rooms have a private balcony. The common areas have access to free wi-fi.
The hostel is open to families, individuals and organized groups. There is also the possibility to reserve an area (or even the entire property) for training events, meetings and conferences. The hostel also has an agreement with the Eremo Restaurant, located in the same building, which offers the typical products of this region for lunch or dinner.
The cost of spending a night is between 12 € and 30 € per person, depending on the type of accommodation and facilities. The property has a large car-park but there is also the possibility of arranging a shuttle bus service to and from Galbiate upon request.

The self-management of the structure includes a final clean up to leave everything as it was; cleaning tools and ecolabel detergent are provided by the staff, there is no need to buy them.
The overnight stay includes the free use of common areas, kitchen included. Being shared spaces we ask everyone to show a respectful behaviour and allow everyone to access the facilities.
It is forbidden to use disposable plastic plates and cutlery in any case. We provide to our guests, during the stay or for events, reusable tableware and washing machines to ease the cleaning process.
