This is the place.
Whether you’ve been to Italy or have always wanted to go, you will absolutely love this boutique hotel and the surrounding area.
Nestle into the Italian hills in a 700+ year old stone farmhouse sculpted by time that is surrounded by manicured lawns dotted with olive trees, lavender, and rosemary with cool and welcoming rooms adorned with exotic antique furniture.
Bask in the sun on the pool deck overlooking olive groves, hike the surrounding woods with waterfalls and streams, and enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the veranda each night.

Food
In the finest traditions of Mediterranean cuisine everything is natural, everything is genuine. You will remember the food as much as anything on this retreat, every meal is out-of-this-world delicious.
Fresh olive oil pressed from trees in the olive grove and home-made bread is served with each meal made fresh with tomatoes, salad leaves, vegetables and herbs from the kitchen garden. For the meat-eaters you’ll have duck, chicken, fish and pork dishes to enjoy and for vegetarians you’ll have risotto, pasta made daily and lots of fresh veggies from the garden to enjoy.
All diets can be accommodated.
Location
We’ll be staying in the Umbrian countryside approximately 30 minutes from Perugia. Just beyond the hills lies the heart of Umbria: Gubbio, Perugia, Assisi, and Cortona, each offering a wealth of art, culture, and local craftsmanship. So close, yet a world away.
Optional Excursions
• Wine tasting at local vineyard
• Italian cooking class
• Day trips to: Perugia, Gubbio, Assisi and Siena
• Hiking on the property
• Tour through Alcatraz, local artist community
• Massage
Traveling solo?
No problem! We will match you with a compatible solo traveler with whom you are comfortable. Private accommodations are available at additional cost.
Getting to the Resort
For the most direct route from the airport to the hotel you will fly into Rome to the Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino and Ciampino Airport (airport code FCO).
From Rome we will take a train (with lovely views of the Italian countryside!) from TERMINI, the main train station in Rome, to Perugia. We will help you book train tickets and arrange to meet as a group at the train station to make our way up to the hotel together as a group.
It is recommended to arrive a day before the start of the retreat and spend the night in Rome if you can, so you get a good night's sleep and get past jet lag before the start of the retreat. We recommend staying at the UNA hotel, which is right outside of TERMINI and close to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum and many of the must see historic places in Rome.
