Our monastic hospitality offers an opportunity for prayer, reading, and quiet reflection. People of all faiths are welcome to explore this contemplative experience.
Our hospitality suites are temporarily accommodating monks evacuated from New Camaldoli Hermitage. We hope to resume reservations after February 2027, circumstances permitting. Please contact the monastery for the latest information.
Hospitality is part of our Benedictine way of life. Private accommodation allows space for solitary prayer, reading, and meditation, alongside opportunities to share in the community’s prayer.
The chapel, landscape, labyrinth, and meditation walks give shape to a retreat that values spaciousness. Our hospitality is contemplative and usually oriented toward an individual experience.
