Hotel Merùo

If you too have entered this page, it is because you are probably wondering: - But what is this place called? 'Meru'? Meri? Machiiiii?

My name is Merùo with an accent on the u, and now, dear reader, you keep asking yourself: what does it mean? You may be enchanted or simply disappointed by its meaning, agree or argue, after all it takes its cue from a supposition on the origin of the place name Morano, made by Gaetano Scorza, who makes it derive from the Greek verb 'merùo' = to gather together, due to the position of the houses piled one on top of the other.

In order to avoid misunderstandings and misinterpretations, it is better to specify that this is only a theory, in the Greek language there is no mention of it except in Theocritus with the meaning of 'abbarbic'.

As you will have realised, should you continue reading, you will find yourself in front of a 4-star hotel that even from its name I would describe as 'a little bit special', just as special and strategic is my location clingon a hill.

Those who have passed through here claim that I have been taken care of down to the smallest detail, but the truth is that I have been made in a seesaw of feelings and paradoxically I believe that this is precisely my charm, because Merùo (I repeat for mnemonic training) is not just rooms, 13 to be precise, but emotion.

All you have to do is look, peer, open and connect (without having a password) and everything speaks to you. I admit it may sound a bit creepy, but that's what makes me, pardon my ego, an art breath, I would almost say a museum, where the main function of the overnight stay is added to that of the detailed and meticulous narration of each painting or object created.

This is my essence, the essence of Meruò, the ensemble of all souls who have given unconditionally, often sacrificing their time and offering it as a gift to share with the world, the world that casually or voluntarily enters these walls.

And if today, the more daring ones who stopped by, confirmed, to my amazement, that they had indeed perceived a sense of welcome, we can say that the name, albeit in its difficulties, has hit its target: to gather together, to welcome!
