We love art! Umbria is heaven for artists and art lovers. At our retreats we offer stunning locations for painters and sketchers. We have introduction packs and courses in watercolour painting, as well as guided excursions to places of cultural interest in the area and to Assisi and Perugia.
We love nature! Our retreat is located in a beautifully secluded part of northern Umbria. Monte Santa Maria Tiberina is the nearest town. There are hiking tracks from the retreat though the beautiful hills of Umbria. We also offer free yoga, access to a pool if the weather is hot, free mountain bikes, the possibility to go horse riding and more.
We love food! Meals are included in the price of the retreat. From lovingly made dinners with locally sourced produce from the farm, to picnics with Umbrian delecacies. We will eat out at the local restaurants. We offer wine tasting, truffle hunting and cooking courses.
