Pure Land Farms
Tuscany, Italy
Pure Land Farms Tuscany was born on what once was “Il Mulino di Ferraia” (still known to locals by this name): an old 16th Century stone water mill, newly renovated with loving care to combine a preservation of its original appearance and fascinating mystique with all modern amenities. This magical place, situated next to a river in a sheltered position is immersed in the most diverse vegetation and neighboring to vineyards which used to attract many poets, writers and artists since the 1700s when the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth became internationally famous with his verses for the nearby Vallombrosa Abbey and its fantastic forest.
The natural gardens along the riverside offers many tranquil spaces and nooks for meditation and contemplation. This serene environment provides the perfect healing space for intimate group retreats.
Pure Land Farms Tuscany is now open for select special events and Sowa Rigpa trainings.
Location and International Travel
The closest airport to Pure Land Farms is Florence Airport, Peretola (Amerigo Vespucci Airport FLR). Alternatively, arriving by train into Florence center (Santa Maria Novella Station) is a good option for those who prefer to arrive in another larger Italian city (Rome, Milano, Bologna, etc). If you are traveling internationally, we recommend arriving in Italy a few days before a retreat starts to adjust to the time change and have an opportunity to do personal sightseeing in Rome, Florence, or nearby villages.
