Clare's Garden_ Shelter for Weary Souls

Relax and recharge at a retreat designed to help you truly slow down.

Il Giardino di Chiara is a welcoming and well-kept place, located on the first floor of a small villa in a quiet neighborhood, just a few minutes’ walk from the historic center of a small mountain village.

Here you can enjoy the peace and quiet, the fresh air, and a slower pace of life, with an unobstructed view of the garden, the village, and the surrounding mountains.

One of the most beloved spaces is the private veranda, ideal for a leisurely breakfast, reading, working on the computer, or simply relaxing. The garden and the furnished porch complete the experience, offering various spots to unwind in every season.

The apartment consists of a double bedroom, a single bedroom with a queen-size bed, a spacious bathroom with a modern shower, and a living room with a fully equipped kitchenette and a comfortable sofa. In winter, a cast-iron stove creates a warm and cozy atmosphere; in summer, the large windows open the space up to the surrounding greenery.

The location is ideal for those who want to alternate between nature and the sea: the retreat is located about 40 minutes from both the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas, allowing you to return to the cool comfort of the apartment after a day at the beach.

It’s a simple yet well-kept space, perfect for those seeking silence, rest, and a more authentic experience than traditional stays.
