Yes, if you come as a guest, participant or artist, you’ll find a room prepared for you, with sheets and towels. Bring your own towel to take to the river or the sea.

We welcome volunteers to help us with maintenance, cleaning, cooking and building. You can apply using the contact form. Note that we are especially looking for volunteers who have cooking or building experience.

Amiglia doesn’t want to impose things upon anyone, but the morning practice is just part of living at Amiglia. If you feel you really don’t want to do this, this place is probably not what you are looking for.

To help Amiglia grow and thrive, funding is needed. We aim for a mix of guests who come to recharge or work on themselves, and those who come to contribute a few hours of work each day. The suggested donation is what we need to keep Amiglia running, and any additional contributions are welcome to further develop the project.
People with professional skills can also stay without making a financial contribution after the initial trial week, as long as it aligns with what needs to be done at that time.

At Amiglia, we value an open-minded approach, also when it comes to eating. We don’t judge any diet, but as a baseline, we choose to cook vegetarian meals - three a day - and use organic products whenever available (from our own garden). Upon request, we can accommodate those who prefer vegan and/or gluten-free options.

Amiglia is not specifically geared towards families with children, but they are not excluded either. We welcome a single parent with a child, a young couple with a baby … and during the summer, we may also organize a week specifically for parents with children.

Our own little village is at a 25 min walk, crossing a splendid medieval bridge. It offers a few authentic shops, two small restaurants, a bar … very friendly people.
Acqui Terme is a very beautiful little town at half an hour driving (car or train).
The sea is at one hour (car or train). Skiing in wintertime is at 1,5 hour.

Amiglia is all about being present with a clear mind. So, we don’t want to numb ourselves with substances. Amiglia is alcohol free zone. People who really need to smoke a cigaret, can do so at the gate just outside Amiglia.
