A SPACE FOR YOGA, REST AND RECONNECTION WITH LORETA

Recharge and reconnect at a beautiful, traditional Apulian farmhouse. Surrounded by nature and local charm, you'll enjoy nourishing practices, delicious food, and time to truly slow down.

This retreat is about rest, reflection, and finding space - whether through journaling, walking, daydreaming, or simply doing nothing. You’ll share the experience with a small group of like-minded yogis, balancing connection and solitude.

While there’s plenty of space to relax, it’s also ideal for those who enjoy more active holidays - with options to explore nearby towns, cycle, go for a swim or a walk, and join any additional activities offered by the venue (see below).

It’s a blend of simple luxury, tradition, and mindful, eco-friendly travel - supporting both your wellbeing and the local community.

(All within the setting of 8–10 people.)

Here is some of the recent guests' feedback:

"I went on the Yoga Retreat with Loreta to Puglia, Italy in October 2024 with a wonderful group of like minded individuals. The retreat was exceptionally well planned with a range of fun activities throughout the trip alongside the yoga which we did once or twice a day. The venue was incredible and the food prepared by local ladies using fresh produce. It was a 5 star experience - I would absolutely recommend it." - Karen

"I truly enjoyed everything about this retreat. Loreta was such a calm and patient teacher. She organised everything to perfection from the location, airport transfers, beautiful food and day trips. She put all her heart and soul into making this retreat a wonderful memorable experience." - Trudie

"The evening relaxation classes were dreamy, with soothing music in a beautiful yoga room in a stunning rural location. Best nights' deep sleep ever! Thank you so much Loreta and all the lovely ladies who attended this retreat." - Nichola
