Essence & Mission

The Financial Times called us : «Italy’s best kept secret»

We are located close to Rome in the heart of ancient Etruria : Tuscia; «the second most intact place in the World» according to the editor of « Lonely Planet Guide»

Re-lax in our 40 hectars of organic estate, a Mediterranean paradise, curated by writer and filmmaker Paola Igliori (see Wikipedia), staying in our Landmark Residences authentic in every detail, where artists like Sandro Chia, Cy Twombly & Jean Michel Basquiat and poets like Gregory Corso and d’Annunzio have been at home.
You might find a draft, or have only the stars to guide you on some garden paths, but you will sleep like a king and stroll under our vine and rose covered pergola’s, re-generate in our 18th Century Bio-Energetic Garden, infused with the scent of linden flowers , where centuries old Monumental Plants offer beneficial emanations and wild plants transform into Gourmet foods that you can savour with a glass of wine (Our « Castello Romitorio» has won « Best red » twice at the London International Wine Challenge) or de-toxing juices!

Our mission is to reconnect to the re-generating power of Nature the Great Teacher, to Authenticity, Constant Creativity, Tradition & Innovation through:

Innovative Re-Generation Therapies with Nature, Ancient Knowledge, Storytelling, our Workshops on transforming wild plants in to Green Pharmacy, Natural Cosmetics and Gourmet Vegetarian cusine, our Tours, Discovering Secret Tuscia and our excellencies of Folk Craft’s contagious passions, and above all the power of the Cycles, following the rythms of the Seasons, recovering the Essence.

All this basking in the beauty and the gifts of Nature.
