About Us

Nestled in a quiet corner of Menlo Park, California, Vallombrosa is a retreat and conference center owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco.

Vallombrosa Center provides a quiet, peaceful environment for prayer and meditation. It is our belief that a sense of calm, physical beauty, careful hospitality and comfortable facilities creates the opportunity to refresh and renew oneself to carry on their business of religion, business, education and research. The Center is conveniently located at a mid-point between the San Francisco and San Jose International Airports.
