If you are an event organiser interested in creating a unique holiday experience, or just searching for a luxury venue for a retreat in Italy, La Chiesa di Santo Stefano provides the perfect, exclusive villa location for your event.

Real Italy works with a number of event organisers who have selected Santo Stefano as their retreat venue because it fulfils their requirements of luxury, high quality services in the truly peaceful ambiance of the Italian countryside.

The restful surroundings give guests plenty of room to relax - either with other members of the group or alone for complete peace and quiet.  There are two comfortable sitting rooms and a separate dining room, plus a number of different terraces equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas.  Guests can take lunch on the pool terrace under the shade of the albizia trees, perhaps with pizza fresh from the outdoor bread oven.

The seating around the pool has been designed specifically to allow guests to sit in small groups, and the peaceful surroundings make this an ideal spot for an after lunch snooze.  But there are plenty of places to escape to around the grounds, with a number of wonderfully comfortable Mexican hammocks in shady spots to provide the ultimate in tranquility.

For those groups who would like to organise a specific themed retreat - such as yoga, exercise, Pilates, art or other special interests - the chiesa (chapel) provides a lovely quiet space which can be laid out to suit your needs. 

If cookery is your theme, Santo Stefano's two kitchens mean that everybody can find space to cook, as well as demonstrate - and lessons with a world famous chef or pasta making with a local nonna (grandma) can be organised.

Or you might want to get together a group to explore the natural history, art or architecture of the region. Whether your interest is shoes and handbags or food and wine, the region has plenty to offer for a unique holiday experience.
