Institute Lama Tsong Khapa (ILTK) wants to give the opportunity to participate in its activities offering more comfortable rooms, equipped with kitchenette and private bathroom, which are located at Borgo di Pomaia, only 5-minutes walking distance from ILTK.
Borgo di Pomaia is composed of an old building, restored with a stone-facade, around which, appartments are arranged in a circular manner. All around, the view is lost in the Tuscan countryside. On clear days, you can see the sea over the hills.
The Hotel is a typical Tuscany structure that offers 13 rooms, including one or two-bedrooms apartments, two swimming pools (one for children), wifi connection, a bar-restaurant-pizzeria, and many additional services to make your staying more relaxing, in a protected pedestrian area in the countryside.
Villa Irene is a wonderful finely restored manor house, which is equipped with private swimming pool. It has 10 bed-rooms all furnished with taste and originality, with wifi access and plasma TVs, a communal kitchen and a private and spacious landscaped park.
This project of more common spaces also meets the need of creating a meeting point of ideas and projects related to the secular values and ethic of Buddhism Tradition and Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa, a place where they can converge, beyond religion, principles of peace and universal responsibility. In the three meeting halls, yoga rooms and gardens, it is possible to organize courses for the individual and collective well-being, as well as conferences, retreats, workshops and seminars.
For information about these facilities and booking, please visit www.borgodipomaia.it, contact phone number 0039 050 685035 or write to borgodipomaia@iltk.it
