About Us
In the heart of Torrebruna, a charming village in Abruzzo, lies the House of Bread – a sanctuary amidst Italy’s tranquil countryside. Currently undergoing a transformation, this space is being lovingly crafted into a retreat for spiritual formation, encountering the presence of God and deep contemplation. Situated just 30 minutes from the picturesque Adriatic coast, the House of Bread offers an ideal blend of rural serenity and scenic beauty.
Our Vision
The House of Bread is more than a retreat; it’s a journey back to one’s authentic self and God. Here, in the stillness of the Italian countryside, you’re invited to slow down, reflect, and engage with spiritual practices that foster inner peace and growth. We’re creating a nurturing environment for those seeking to deepen their spiritual journey with God in the midst of nature’s calm.
