Claustrum di Colforcella is a country house created from a 16th-century convent at Colforcella, a hamlet of Cascia, in Umbria. The buildings were built by the Friars Minor Observant, known as the Zoccolanti, as a place of contemplative life; after restoration they became an accommodation with 16 beds.
In the furnishings, the stone, terracotta and wood of Umbrian architecture sit alongside arches and Moorish, Andalusian and Moroccan touches.

The seven units, suites and rooms, range from 28 to 60 m² and are each named after a color: Grand Suite, Suite Verde, and the Rossa, Gialla, Nera, Bianca and Blu rooms. Some look onto the cloister, others onto the Cascia valley or the mountains; the Grand Suite, with a stone fireplace and cross vaults, is accessible to people with disabilities. The rooms have a minibar, safe, smart TV and Wi-Fi.
A continental breakfast with local products is served in the cloister. In the old stone cellars is the SPA, with a sauna, Turkish bath, sensory shower and a hot tub set in the old oven; from late June an outdoor pool is also open. The restaurant, Locanda del Chiostro - 1564, is led by chef Luca Mazza and works with local, seasonal ingredients. The property only accepts guests over 16 and does not allow pets; it also offers excursions on the trails of the Valnerina and visits to the villages of the area.
