Sicily, Italy - Wellness Retreat
25 May - 01 June 2024 (May Half Term)
I'm excited about revisiting magical Sicily, and guiding you on this week long yoga retreat/holiday. If you need a break from your hectic life, and want to take time to simply be, to restore and recharge, then you won't be disappointed.
The magnificent retreat centre sits in the heart of rural Sicily, with peaceful walks and glorious views. It is a gorgeous space to feel nourished. Rise for daily yoga and meditation, relax and explore, walk in the eighteenth century labyrinth, among the olive groves or ancient woodland, enjoy wild swimming or laze by the divine pool, breathe deeply and meditate, dine on vegetarian food lovingly prepared for you, and sleep in the beautiful, restored 17th century masseria (farmhouse) furnished in Sicilian style furniture and antiques. And all the staff here are friendly and accommodating. You will be truly cared for on all levels.
The yoga retreat is nestled in the Madonie national park with outstanding beauty and is just a few miles from Gangi, named “the most beautiful village in Italy”, and about 40km from the enchanting fishermen village of Cefalù.
In late May/early June, expect warm sunshine, a refreshing pool for swimming, a cool stone building that doesn't require air conditioning, and evenings perfect for al fresco dining.
