Who we are

Our Mission

At Luce sul Lago, our mission is to create a sanctuary where people can slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the essence of living in harmony with nature. Surrounded by the shifting light and reflections of Lake Nemi, we invite guests to embrace stillness, nurture their wellbeing, and cultivate meaningful connections. Whether through mindful practices, creative workshops, or simply resting in the beauty of the landscape, we aim to offer clarity, renewal, and a gentle path back to oneself.

A Refuge for Mind, Body, and Soul

At Luce sul Lago, we offer immersive retreats designed to slow down the rhythm of daily life. Through yoga, meditation, silent walks, and nourishing food, guests rediscover the joy of living in harmony with nature. Our workshops — from gardening and medicinal plants to stargazing, pottery, and tree care — invite hands-on learning and moments of wonder. Temporary hospitality in safari tents or our home completes the experience, offering comfort in simplicity and closeness to the natural world.

Reflection and Renewal

Many of our guests come seeking a weekend escape from Rome or traveling from abroad to experience Italy’s serene landscapes. Here, the lake view, open spaces, and gentle rhythms of nature create the perfect setting for couples and individuals to reconnect and find clarity. Guests arrive stressed and uncertain, but leave with peace of mind, renewed energy, and a deeper sense of self — whether through a quiet moment with a book, a shared meditation under the stars, or simply resting in the nature.

The Meaning of Luce sul Lago

Luce sul Lago means “Light on the Lake” — a name that reflects the association’s spirit of illumination, serenity, and connection with nature. It evokes the image of sunlight shimmering on the water of the lake of Nemi that guests will be able to admire. The reflections on Lake Nemi shift and transform throughout the day and night, offering ever-changing moods and colors that inspire wonder and calm.
