    Tolle Erfahrung mit schönen Menschen

    Francesca hat mir ihrer außergewöhnlichen Art eine so tolle Atmosphäre geschaffen und mit ihrem Yogastil und Schwierigkeitsgraden alle Teilnehmer mitgenommen. Alice hat mit Liebe die Speisen zubereitet und die gemeinsamen Essen haben dir Gruppe zusammengeschweißt. Die Wahl der Unterkunft ist Francesca absolut gelungen. Die alten Mauern, die Terassen und der Garten bieten Raum zum Entspannen und bereiten zusätzliche eine Atmosphäte für die Yogastunden.

    Danke liebe Alice und Francesca für die unglaubliche Zeit!

    A wonderful week of yoga in Ischia

    I would say the rigor and ease of the yoga classes. I felt challenged but also totally able to move in ways that were best for my body. The food was the most amazing I’ve had in any kind of stay with demi-pension. Because it was made with love for us. Vegetarian, imaginative and delicious.

    Amazing experience with beautiful people

    The retreat was offered by Francesca and her daughter Alice. Such a wonderful, kind duo! Francesca was knowledgeable and inspiring, and her daughter Alice is a wonderful vegetarian cook and also extremely knowledgeable in yoga. They were both warm hearted and loving and made us feel like a cohesive group. Other guests were wonderful and the atmosphere was great and homey. I learned a lot and was inspired to learn more. The Chalet was one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen - architecturally designed on the edge of the mountain. Beautiful!

    Wellness holidays in the mountains

    I liked the location: the chalet was absolutely incredible with amazing architecture and fantastic bedrooms with a view on the mountains. There was a hammam also available in the house and great terraces.

    The food was also good, cooked by the daughter of Francesca. She put a great effort into setting up a nice table and having a tasty menu.

    Inspirierender, kulinarischer Yogatraum auf Capri

    Der Yogaurlaub mit Francesca Marchi auf Capri war wunderschön, viel mehr als ich mich getraut hätte zu erwarten. Im Zitronenparadies Capri wurden wir von Francesca und ihrer Tochter mit Wärme, Offenheit (und aromatischen Wasser) begrüßt. Die beiden gingen auf individuelle Wünsche ein und ich fühlte mich rundum wohl.

    Francesca praktiziert Yoga mit Leidenschaft und der Unterricht mit ihr zeigt zum Einen Kontnuität von Übungen, welche die Sessions mehr und mehr vertraut machen und zum Anderen eine große Variabilität von Bewegungsabfolgen und Meditationsübungen, auf.

    Energie schenkten uns nicht nur die Yogastunden und magischen Ausblicke auf Capri, sondern ebenfalls die kulinarische Kunstfertigkeit von Francesca und ihrer Tochter Alice sowie zwei einheimischen Frauen, welche uns liebevoll mit qualitativ hochwertigem und unglaublich leckerem Essen verwöhnten. Die gemeinsamen Stunden am Esstisch hatten eine wunderbare Leichtigkeit und wir verbrachten sie als Freundinnen die das Leben genießen. Die Umgebung tut ihr Übriges: Lange Spaziergänge auf den Felsen, über dem türkisblauen Meer, elegante Möwen die über der Insel schwebten als würden sie uns beim Yoga begleiten und beeindruckende Villen die einen Einblick geben, durch welch lange Geschichte sich Capri bewegte.

    Yoga in a great surrounding

    Fransceca knows a lot about yoga. I learned new things i can still take with me. Also we had funny times. Her daughter cooks and is very hospital to make you feel good. The surrounding is just great. In the free time between the yoga there are great things to see and do there.

    Care and trust on a beautiful place

    First, once arriving to the place I was astonished by the charm of villa and the atmosphere of the place. Then I had a yoga lesson with a sunset and thought it can’t be better. And then came the homemade excellent vegetarian dinner, set on a beautiful terrace of the house. Thanks to the yoga instructor, and the group we made lots of hiking and swimming around the island. Thanks for the wonderful times.

    More than I could ask for!

    It was an amazing experience at a magical location! Fransesca is a really kind and warm person with a lot of experience (40 year yoga experience). She teached me so much about yoga, the India culture, where yoga came from and more. The group was magic I had so much fun and it fulfilled me with love and gratitude. The breakfast and dinners are amazing so much delicious healthy vegatarian food! There are no words or pictures which can describe the beautiful location!

    4 giorni per staccare e rigenerarsi

    La mia personale esperienza di questo yoga retreat è stata eccellente. La villa è bellissima, ubicata in un paradiso di vegetazione e vista mozzafiato. I pasti sono stati buonissimi tutti preparati con estrema cura e attenzione e anche la pratica ha creato un benessere a 360 gradi.

    Sono stati dei giorni veramente stupendi che mi hanno permesso di staccare totalmente la testa e perdere delle cattive abitudini che avevo, date dalla routine, che mi hanno fatto sentire subito meglio.

    Yoga in nice setting but with surprises

    Nice people, beautiful surrounding, good atmosphere, covid safe. Being close to Assisi affected the trip in a very nice way and make the spiritual experience even richer. Very nice, delicious and good New Year’s eve with large fire outside, prosecco and midnight snack. Very well done in beautiful location!
