There's the org-caldav package in MELPA, you can try that. When it
works, it does exactly what you want. It often doesn't work, though --
I'm not blaming the author, DAV stuff is bizarre and unreliable. I've
been using it with a Radicale server, and after some bug fixes it worked
great. Now it's suddenly stopped working again, for no reason I can see,
and I've been too lazy to figure out why.

Anyway, I think it would be worth a shot.
