About Retreat and Write
Founded by Robert McCann Finn, co-founder of Break Out Pictures, Retreat and Write was created to offer creatives a meaningful pause from the demands of modern life-a space designed to nurture focus, reflection, and the creative process.
Whether you're working solo or as a part of a collaborative group, the retreat welcomes those with a serious commitment to their craft-published authors, filmmakers, artists, or those with a clear body of work or demonstrative creative intent.
To keep the experience accessible, Retreat and Write is offered is offered as a rate below typical market prices-not because it's lesser, but because its mission is rooted in supporting the creative communicating.

Our Mission
COMING IN 2025
At Retreat and Write, we offer more than just a getaway—we create a sanctuary for writers to reconnect with their voice and imagination. Set in the stunning mountain town of Armento, an authentic and unspoiled gem in southern Italy, our retreat is designed for creatives who crave depth, stillness, and meaningful connection.
Armento is a place for artists. A place where the quiet rhythm of daily life and the beauty of the landscape help unlock your creativity and ground your work in something real.
Founded by creatives, Retreat and Write is built from the inside out to support your process—with carefully designed spaces, mindful programming, and a deep understanding of what artists need to thrive.
Come to write. Stay to connect—with the land, the community, and yourself.
