Relax and grow...
Nestled deep in the olive groves outside the picturesque mediæval hilltown of Calvi dell'Umbria, set between the valley of the ancient Tiber and forestclad Mt. San Pancrazio, the Santa Brigida invites you to relax and grow.
The
exquisitely restored buildings are furnished with a blend of artfully
chosen antiques and modern amenities to provide a serene haven out of
time. You can soak in the sun by the “infinity pool” whose horizon blends
into an expanse of rolling hills, dotted with distant ruins and the farmhouses
of the local artisanal producers.
You can unwind on its stone terrace over a bottle of local vino after returning from a day exploring Italy’s cultural heritage. Calvi is centrally located amidst the mediæval treasures of Orvieto, Spoleto, and Assisi, and the breathtaking volcanic lakes of Bolsena and Trasimeno. You are also less than an hour away from the unforgettable monuments, churches, and museums of Rome, the Eternal City.
Workshops
The
Santa Brigida will host workshops and master classes to fuel your passion
for a range of subjects in art and the art of living. The small class
sizes ensure attention to your personal inspiration and learning. Programs
will include:
- Courses to more deeply experience Italian culture: from Italian cooking and wine tasting to architecture and art history;
- Workshops to amplify creativity and harmonize body and mind: from yoga and dance to writing and theatre;
- Master classes inspired by Italian traditions: from printmaking and painting to Gregorian chant and other music genres.
