RoomsMost rooms have a view to the valley below Assisi or a view to the sweet courtyard garden of flower pots immediately adjacent to our meditation room.

Each guest can have a private room with en suite bathroom. You can request additional nights for before or after your retreat during registration.

Our meditation room is just off the courtyard garden in the Hotel. It is open all day for you to use for continued meditation or yoga practice. You have access to our yoga props, literature and quiet space between meditation sessions. This room is reserved exclusively for our retreat guests.
Meditation is at 9 am, 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm, daily and includes quiet walks to sacred sites 4-6 times during the retreat. We lead heart centered meditation to feel the peace of Assisi all around us and the deep stillness within. We have created a beautiful meditative space where the grace of Assisi touches us deeply. |
il tempio di minerva ristoranteThe boutique Hotel where you stay is located only 75 meters from Piazza del Comune and this fabulous restaurant.

This is one of many of their yummy salads, similar to many other restaurants throughout the town.

This is Columbo, one of my dearest old Assisi friends. He is the embodiment of what Assisi gives to each person that comes. Assisi is a sweet hug from the universe and supports each person to find that sweetness in their heart. We welcome you to Assisi, Italy and our retreats of Simple Peace,
