About this retreat
Discover the magic of Southern Italy in Puglia, a region so rich in beauty and history it has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Surrender in savasana beneath centuries-old olive trees, and spend your days exploring the region’s vineyards, charming villages, and crystal-clear coastline.
Learn the secrets of Italian cuisine during intimate cooking lessons, indulge in fresh pastries and authentic gelato, and let the sea breeze and Mediterranean sunshine rejuvenate your soul.
This retreat is more than a getaway — it’s an immersion into old-world charm, nourishing food, community, and deep relaxation.
This retreat is a celebration of La Dolce Vita — a week of movement, culture, and connection in one of Italy’s most enchanting regions. Each day blends rejuvenating yoga practices with authentic local experiences: exploring historic villages, tasting regional delicacies, and learning traditional cooking techniques from locals who carry Puglia’s heritage with pride.
Between adventures, you’ll have plenty of time to relax, savor long meals, and soak up the beauty of the Adriatic coast. Our retreat is designed to balance yoga, cultural discovery, and relaxation.
Here’s an example of what a day in Puglia might look like:
Morning: Begin with a revitalizing yoga practice under the olive trees, followed by a wholesome breakfast with fresh pastries, fruit, and Italian coffee.
Late Morning: Head out on an excursion — perhaps exploring Alberobello’s trulli houses, or visiting a local dairy for a cheese tasting.
Afternoon: Enjoy free time to swim in the Adriatic, wander charming coastal towns, or simply relax by the pool with a book.
Evening: Gather for a hands-on culinary workshop or aperitif hour, followed by a grounding sunset yoga session.
Night: Share a multi-course Italian dinner with the group, savoring local wine and good company.
Each day offers a mix of movement, exploration, and indulgence — the perfect rhythm for body, mind, and spirit. Beyond daily yog and unforgettable meals, this retreat is filled with handpicked experiences to immerse you in the magic of Southern Italy.
- Explore Alberobello, a fairytale village famed for its iconic cone-shaped trulli, built with a prehistoric technique.
- Visit a local dairy farm to taste Puglia’s traditional cheeses, crafted with love and tradition.
- Swim in the sparkling Adriatic Sea in Monopoli and wander through Polignano a Mare, with its dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, boutique shops, and seaside cafés.
- Stroll through the whitewashed streets of Ostuni and the charming town of Locorotondo (optional excursion).
- Join three culinary workshops, sip a daily aperitif at sunset, and savor the most authentic Italian flavors from morning pastries to evening feasts.
Location
Carovigno, BR, Puglia, Italy
Venue
Puglia, a southern region forming the heel of Italy’s “boot,” is known for its whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farmland, and hundreds of kilometers of Mediterranean coastline.
This retreat will take place at a stunning villa in the Puglia region, near Ostuni. Set in the heart of Italy’s sun-kissed heel, the villa offers a serene escape surrounded by olive groves and the charm of the Apulian countryside.
The villa is located in a picturesque town in the Brindisi province, known for its medieval castle, whitewashed streets, and vibrant local markets. Just a short drive from the Adriatic Sea, the villa’s location offers the best of both worlds: peaceful rural surroundings and easy access to pristine beaches.
