MR. WILLIAM HURT, who lived in the house while filming The Blue Butterfly, summarizes his experience here:
“This is ... truly a haven that reflects a profoundly appreciative, profoundly intelligent love of this environment and a gracious way of life. I have visited monasteries where the peace and beauty were not at all as appreciated and conscientiously featured. I simply have to say, and I am not prone to superlatives, that I have never, in all my travels, experienced its like and am left only with the greatest admiration for you and your family who has imagined it and brought it into being.”
