1. Villino Rubini

Villino Rubini is a private Art Nouveau estate built in 1892 and set within four acres of beech forest. The historic house holds ten rooms across three buildings and can host up to nineteen guests at a time. Guests share a heated pool, a spa, a sauna, a gym and a dedicated studio that can be used for guided meditation sessions. The estate also provides daily housekeeping, a continental breakfast and a private shuttle to the historic Como-Brunate funicular (operating since 1894). Art Nouveau architecture gives the property a timeless feel, while the surrounding gardens create natural silence for inner work. The estate is set in the hills above Lake Como, with the forest close around it.

Key Takeaway: Villino Rubini blends historic charm with modern wellness spaces, making it a solid base for any private meditation retreat.

2. Individual Room Stays at Villino Rubini

In this format each participant books a separate room and shares the facilities of the estate. The arrangement works well for couples or small groups who prefer personal space but still want to gather in the studio for group meditation. All rooms include original period details, and guests receive a daily continental breakfast. The estate’s quiet garden corners and the studio provide ample opportunities for silent practice.

Because rooms are booked individually, you can tailor the stay length for each guest, which is helpful for retreats that span several weeks. Our journal post on a wellness retreat in Italy has more detail on wellness-focused stays.

One consideration is that the shared dining areas can host only small groups at a time; larger meals must be arranged outdoors under the garden tent.

3. Whole-Estate Villa Rental at Villino Rubini

When privacy is important, you can hire the entire estate for your group. The full-property hire gives you control of all ten rooms, the studio, the pool, the spa, the sauna and the gym. This format is ideal for a group that wants uninterrupted silence, such as a weekend of intensive meditation or a multi-day silent retreat.

All common areas become your own, so you can set the schedule for meditation sessions, sound healing, or light language work without coordinating with other guests. The estate can host up to nineteen participants, which balances intimacy with enough space for diverse activities.

Pro Tip: Arrange a pre-arrival visit to walk the grounds and decide where you will place meditation circles.

4. Interest-Based Experience Stays at Villino Rubini

This option blends accommodation with themed activities such as guided meditation, light-language sessions, or sound baths. The estate’s studio can be equipped for these practices, and the garden provides a natural backdrop for outdoor rituals. You can invite specialist teachers to lead workshops, and we take care of breakfast and daily housekeeping.

Because the stay is arranged for you, you can match the focus to the season. A winter solstice meditation can end with time in the sauna. Our villa rental page explains how to request a tailored itinerary.

Ask us when you enquire about the teachers or facilitators you plan to bring.

5. Corporate Events and Retreats at Villino Rubini

Beyond personal meditation, the estate serves small corporate groups seeking focused off-site work. Indoor spaces suit small groups. The wellness facilities allow teams to unwind with yoga, sauna sessions or a dip in the heated pool.

Corporate groups benefit from the private shuttle to the funicular, which simplifies travel from Milan Malpensa or Como. Large dinners are held outdoors under a tent that seats about one hundred guests.

Ask us about presentation needs when you plan the agenda.
