On 23 September, our second annual festival "A LOVE BEYOND" will take place to round off our summer season at CERVO.

From the experience of the first festival in 2021, the concept of "A LOVE BEYOND" will be further refined, a constantly evolving community, a dialogue, a true family affair for artists, crew, hotel staff and guests alike, a true multi-disciplinary celebration. This year the focus will be on live music, immersive sound concerts, DJs, meditation, healing sound, yoga, macramé and natural dye workshops, tarot card reading, cooking demonstrations, herbal walks, sustainability panels, workshops.

Here's a little taste of what you can expect at this year's event:
