The gate to here was closed, but you can open it easily.. it was a short nice ride in the valley so quite and peaceful.. the churches are nice, if you are near worth a visit.. there was a (wild) horse🐴 in the vicinity, it was very nice..
(Translated by Google) One of those places full of charm and scenic beauty that deserve to be visited. Even if there is a bit of an air of abandonment, great credit goes to the premises who keep the area clean and tidy. To be seen(Original)Uno di quei luoghi carichi di fascino e bellezza paesaggistica che meritano di essere visitati. Anche se si respira un po' d'aria di abbandono grande merito ai locali che mantengono l'area pulita ed ordinata. Da vedere
(Translated by Google) Splendid location but completely neglected, a real shame because if valorised and advertised it would bring well-being to the place, it has great potential but they don't know how to grasp the business, however it is worth taking a look around(Original)Splendida località ma interamente trascurata, un vero peccato perché valorizzata è pubblicizzata porterebbe benessere al luogo, ha grandi potenzialità ma non sanno cogliere il business, comunque vale la pena farci un giro

Reviews
Eremo di Croce Santa in the Eloro District is described as a place full of charm and scenic beauty, despite some neglect. Reviewers praise the cleanliness maintained by locals and highlight the peaceful atmosphere. The location, with its churches carved into rock and historical frescoes, offers a unique experience for visitors. Some reviewers express disappointment at the neglected state of the area but acknowledge its potential if properly promoted. The legend of the wooden cross venerated by pilgrims adds to the spiritual significance of this site.

(Translated by Google) Due to the destroyed access road due to storms, a place that has fallen into a Sleeping Beauty sleep. Lost Places(Original)Durch die zerstörte Zufahrt aufgrund von Unwetter ein Ort, der in einen Dornröschen-Schlaf gefallen ist. Lost Places
(Translated by Google) Very disappointing due to the neglect and poor signage. We went to town. It is not clear if there is a car park if you can go as far as the Hermitage. In the end it was closed and we admired the cross behind a railing with rubbish around it.(Original)Molto deludente per l'incuria e la scarsa segnaletica. Siamo andati allo sbaraglio. Non si comprende se c'è un parcheggio se ci si può inoltrare fino all' Eremo . Alla fine era chiuso ed abbiamo ammirato la croce dietro una inferriata con attorno immondizia.
