Accommodation
You will be staying at Il Fiore della Vita Trulli Country House during the retreat. The pond can be called a bio-pool, an ecological pool, or a bathing lake. It is not considered to be a swimming pool. The varieties of aquatic plants in the pool filter the water naturally, without the need for harsh chemicals. The bio-pool is a place for dedicating yourself to meditation in direct contact with nature, breathing in the scent of the plants while in the company of local fauna, including butterflies, dragonflies, toads, swallows, and many other animals who are regular guests of the water landscape.
Double rooms or single rooms with private bathrooms are available. There are three suites, one is in the Trullo main building, one is in the old barn, and the other is in an old ruin, all renovated to preserve the original state. Each room has the name of the plant grown near or inside it (like the fig tree in the old ruin). All rooms are very comfortable, providing tranquility and repose in a refined and welcoming environment. All have private bathrooms, patios, independent entrances, and kitchenettes.
