Waldensian Homes and Waldensian Diaconia

In the Waldensian Houses and Guest Houses we host female travelers using the proceeds to carry out social projects of the Waldensian Diaconia

Waldensian Homes are accommodation facilities that are part of the Waldensian Diaconia, a nonprofit church body that puts the dignity of human beings at the center of its work, ensuring respect and care with absolute secularity to anyone who uses the services offered, regardless of gender, affiliation or culture.

Diaconia Valdese, based in Piedmont, in the Waldensian valleys, coordinates and manages some of the Waldensian Church ‘s care and hospitality facilities and services in Italy.

Waldensian Homes are facilities nonprofit open to all and sundry, where quality time can be spent at affordable prices.
