Italy Umbria: Space for retreats

Apartments in Farmhouse: Space for retreats

The Villa also provides the right environment for all those working towards establishing greater harmony between themselves and the world around them. Indeed, for years now we have received not just families as guests but been organizing courses for groups, too – in the form of residential stays, "green weeks" or other cultural activities. To start out, we restored the old barn just for fun. Then, spurred on by our guests, we began to take the project more seriously. This has now become the place where we hold our courses and it forms the heart of the hamlet. It is a bright, spacious room,120 square metres in size, with wood flooring and huge, arched windows looking out into the surrounding countryside – a place for working together and sharing experiences. Thanks to our organizational strengths and experience gained over the years, we can provide a simple, lean service and efficient organization geared to meet the requirements of our guests. The essential features are consideration and flexibility. Each time we have a new group we create menus to suit individual nutritional requirements. We arrange meal times to fit in with work and learning schedules and support guests technically wherever possible with material needed. From what our appreciative guests have told us, this all contributes to a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
