The Place
The heart of our retreats lies in time spent together. While each room in agriturismo has its own special character — some catching the morning light, others offering a view on the olive trees — we find the real magic is in the shared spaces where our days will flow between the gardens and grove, gathering, and the pool.
Shared rooms naturally become spaces where friendships bloom and our tranquil home offers plenty of quiet corners for solitude. For those preferring more space, we have a few individual rooms.

The vision
The Out of Office Residency is crafted as a creative sanctuary and incubator for creative ways of living. It offers creatives, founders, researchers, freelancers, and those who want to reimagine the way they work and live a chance to find inspiration, forge new relationships, create collaborations, rekindle creativity, explore their craft, and cultivate healthier cultures of work.
Our residency is designed for personal space and collective practice. We believe in the intersection between community time and solitude. Connection, exploration and play are catalysts for personal and collective flourishing. They make us more creative, better at problem-solving, broaden our perspective, and inspire us to live more human, creative, connected life. While solitude is key to listen to our inner dialogue. The residency is designed to support both solitude and connection through shared meals and everyday moments.
Programming
