The
Workshop Venue
The
property is in the heart of the Sabine Hills, just north of Rome near Umbria,
set amidst olive groves, woodlands and a rolling landscape. The surrounding
area is unspoilt farmland and the house and grounds are peaceful and quiet.
The
grounds comprise seven lush acres with a natural spring and pond. There are
spaces indoors and out for yoga, meditation and reading. Accommodation is in two beautifully
restored 17th century stone farmhouses with terraces which open out
to a gentle panorama of olive groves, fruit trees and stunning sunsets. The
medieval village of Torri in Sabina (1000 inhabitants) is three kilometres
away.
Accommodation
Rooms
are beautifully designed in a natural style – a combination of old and
new. Furnishings and fabrics complement the buildings and their setting,
creating a calming and comfortable environment.
We
can accommodate up to 18 people on the holiday. Bedrooms are allocated on a
first come first serve basis.
