La Romita — A Private Umbrian Convent for Immersive Art Retreats
La Romita is not a typical vacation rental.
This historic Umbrian convent is offered as a private-use creative retreat, designed specifically for artists, writers, and culturally curious travelers seeking depth, focus, and meaningful time in Italy.
Set within the Umbrian countryside, La Romita provides a rare combination of privacy, shared creative space, and intentional structure. The property is not operated as a hotel or short-stay accommodation. Instead, it functions as a temporary residency—a place where guests come to slow down, work, learn, and engage with place and practice.
The experience is built around multi-day stays, with a standard five-day minimum. This pacing allows guests to settle in, develop creative rhythm, and experience the surrounding region without rush or surface-level tourism.
The Property
La Romita consists of a historic convent structure with:
Five guest rooms accommodating up to nine beds in total
Communal interior spaces for gathering, meals, and discussion
A shared kitchen suitable for group meals and instruction
Exterior grounds and quiet outdoor areas
A consecrated church space used for reflection, music, or creative gatherings
Rooms are intentionally simple, calm, and functional—designed to support rest and focus rather than luxury excess. Bathrooms are shared, clean, and well maintained, consistent with the building’s history and purpose.
