At our hotel, experience ultimate relaxation with an infinity pool boasting breathtaking views of Lake Trasimeno and stunning sunsets. Indoor and outdoor spas. Experience a variety of massage treatments tailored to your needs.

The restaurant offers creative cuisine with locally sourced, organic ingredients. We will enjoy yoga with panoramic views, morning hikes, and soothing sound healing therapy amidst nature's tranquility.

Surrounding Area

Our day trips will enable us to explore the diverse landscapes and activities that this area has to offer. We'll start our retreat with a scenic hike in the vicinity, complete with a special sound bath healing in nature. The following day, we'll journey to the exquisite natural hot springs of Saturnia, before embarking on a visit to the picturesque Val d'Orcia in Tuscany. Here, amidst its iconic rolling hills, we'll discover a hidden winery nestled in a breathtaking architectural setting. We'll indulge in wine and olive oil tastings, guided by an olive oil sommelier who will enlighten us about the nuances and profiles of these elixirs. Later, we'll cap off the day with a dinner boasting a stunning view.

The next day, we will recharge with downtime on site where we can enjoy the scenery, the pool, some yoga, sound healing, spa treatments, massages, and savor the delights of our amazing organic restaurant at the hotel. Right from our accommodation, we can embark on numerous beautiful hikes with special energy and stunning views of Lake Trasimeno. The magical ambiance during sunset is not to be missed.

One day, we'll venture out to explore the charming villages around Lake Trasimeno. Whether you prefer a bike ride, horseback riding, or simply enjoying ice creams and exquisite wines next to the lake.

Yoga, Meditation, sound healing and Movement

During the Retreat, there will be daily yoga & meditation classes with Aviv and Alessandro. The morning sessions are active but mindful: walking meditation outdoors, vinyasa flow classes, detox flow, breathing techniques, Qigong, and meditation. During Shavasana, you will receive a head massage with essential oils and a special sound bath healing by Alessandro. In the evening, we will practice a mixture of restorative yoga, yoga Nidra, and yin yoga or different kinds of moving and dancing meditation or a Tantric ceremony. Depending on the preferences within the group more classes might be offered.  All classes are tailored to the individuals in the group so that everyone can participate at their own level and pace. I love to create classes that empower & establish a better relationship between mind and body, and that create the right energy for the time of day.

* Participation in classes and activities is optional throughout the retreat. All levels welcome!
