“A charming villa rich in history, Villa Monte Solare rests idyllically in Umbria’s beautiful countryside, surrounded by olive trees and picturesque valleys”.
Giulio states: “The day Eva and I went to Vila Monte Solare for the first time, we felt inexplicable energy. We both looked at each other’s and said: ‘We’ve got something here!’. We immediately asked Alessio, the resort manager, about this sensation, and he replied that in the past other visitors have felt the same sort of energy. Needless to say, we knew right away this was the right venue for our experience.”

To ensure your stay is as pleasurable as possible, your room will also be appointed with amenities guaranteed to meet your every need.


Rooms
Villa Monte Solare is a 4-star resort, and offers very different room types. We have reserved all the rooms in the main noble villa, as well as the Lemon House (Limonaia),which vary in size and decor, but maintain a style reminiscent of the 1700’s era. Rooms are furnished with original antique pieces and offer all modern commodities. The level is therefore luxurious with an antique flair. However, we do not guarantee a specific room. We decided to offer one price for all the rooms reserved for this event. With that in mind all the rooms reserved fit within high quality standards, as you would expect in a luxurious retreat as Sense-ational Awakening. Our rooms are the equivalent of what the resort call the “Prestige” category.
Reasons why we have chosen Villa Monte Solare for our experience:
- The location and landscape are truly breathtaking. The views are amazing and leave room for imagination and meditation.
- The Villa itself was built in 1780 and is full of history.
- There are several stone outbuildings with accommodations, including a converted old lemon house. Each building has its own charm.
- It is classified as a 4 star hotel.
- There are three swimming pools: Two outdoor and one indoor.
- The grounds comprise of over 300 acres, including several marked trails for peaceful reflexion time, all sorts of olive groves, fruit trees and a wooded area full of truffles to be uncovered … and eventually tasted!
- There is a small church on the premises, built centuries ago, perfect as the performance venue for our program.
- The resort is managed by a well-known and successful hotel managing company “LDC Hotels”, which handles all the Italian properties of the same ownership. All the properties are 4 and 5 star hotels. Management is impeccable and very personable.
- When you walk around the grounds of the property, you breathe history, and depending upon your sensibility, you can definitely feel vibes.
- The compound was built over remains of Etruscan civilization going back over 2500 years (before the Roman age).
- The location is “radiant”. The name itself translated in English means “Solar Mountain Villa”, which has a great power when associated with our Sense-ational Awakening experience. The venue could perhaps stimulate a sixth sense: That sense of history and the wow factor!
- There is a well-appointed spa in the resort for relaxation and for pampering.
- The proximity to spiritual and meditative meccas like Assisi, Perugia, Frasassi, etc. is a definite logistic advantage.
- Personnel are very helpful and competent.
- There is a superb restaurant on site with a chef who can incorporate a menu based on wellness, and following the criteria of the Chakras. Meals are specifically customized for this tour.
- It is located between Rome and Florence, which makes it easily reachable without the need to spend too much time driving to the property. Rome Fiumicino International Airport is about 2 hrs. 15 min. Florence city center is approximately 2 hrs. from Villa Monte Solare. Perugia airport is only 35 min. away.
- And lastly, when Giulio and Eva went there for the first time to scope this venue, they were received with such warmth, dedication and professionalism that made them feel a rare sense of bonding. The perfect beginning for a successful joint venture.
