"Yoga and hiking retreats "
Everything about it was amazing!!! The location is perfect, the food in restaurant is amazing. Paula was always in touch, way before the arrival, and constantly checking in on how we are. There was yoga in a morning; breakfast and then we headed to the hiking with Paula and Marco. The choice was locations was unbelievable, so picturesque and always different. In 5 days we saw different parts of dolomite, both Paula and Marco always were helpful and very knowledgeable about the mountains. Me day it snowed so guys adjusted the plans so we can still enjoy hiking but in different area. Overall, that was magical week!

"Die Yoga- und Trekking-Guides waren grossartig! "
Die Yogasessions waren sehr gut aufgebaut und haben in einem schönen Raum stattgefunden mit spektakulärer Aussicht. Das Trekking wurde auf die Bedürfnisse der Teilnehmer*innen angepasst, sodass dass alle auf ihre Kosten kamen und die Dolomiten in vollen Zügen geniessen konnten.

"Non solo yoga"
Paula si prende cura degli ospiti a 360 gradi.
Il loro benessere è al centro delle sue attenzioni. Paula è una persona delicata che ti sa osservare in silenzio senza giudizio.
Inoltre il casale è gestito con amore e dedizione da persone vere che sanno farti sentire accolta e in famiglia.
Grazie dal cuore per questa breve ma intensa esperienza!

"Wonderful retreat and vacation"
The house and surrounding are amazing. It is calm and you can see a lot of investment in details. So the bed and linen are very high quality, the food is very good and healthy. The retreat is flexible and Paula adapted the yoga training to fit our capabilities and needs. Paula also insisted on a long video chat before the retreat just to make sure she knows what I am looking for and to explain the schedule. The excursions were amazing! This retreat was really what I was hoping for. Thank you Paula and Erico are so welcoming ❤️

"Spring clean for the mind, body and soul."
What Paula offers is unique and very personalised. She is a very perceptive girl with a kind and loving soul. She works so hard to makes all guests feel included and special. She is able to do this by keeping the capacity to no more than 4 people on the retreat at one time.
This was my first solo retreat, which enabled me to connect on a deeper level with the other guests and still have quiet and reflective time for me. I felt very comfortable. I loved the occasional spontaneous warm hug from Paula!
The yoga itself was pitched at the right level for all participants. Paula differentiated the practice with ease and made sure everyone got the maximum physical and mental benefits. She uses a variety of practices and blends them well to create a very holistic experience. She has excellent knowledge of yoga and pranayama and adds a little philosophy and theory to the sessions.
The location was above and beyond my expectations. Erico, Paula's charming partner, works quietly and efficiently to maintain the most beautiful and peaceful setting.
The accommodation is full of love, clean, rustic, artistic and special. The laundry and towels are of good quality and the bed and pillows were conducive to a good night's sleep.
The food was spot on! Paula's love for food and cooking really shone through. There was excellent variety, healthy plant-based ingredients served every evening outside under the setting Tuscan sun.
The excursions were fantastic too!
I will return!

"Perfect by all means! "
This might be one of the most satisfying experiences of my life!
First of all the location: an amazing rural house with a view on Capalbio medieval town. Tree cypresses stand out in the garden, as you would expect in Tuscany. The facility is spacious and renovated with style.
Then, I cannot recommend more having Paula as a yoga teacher and retreat organiser. Not only she is a skilled teacher, but she is an excellent cook as well. She’s a very empathetic and warm girl, without being the “new age” kind of person: she gave me some important life tips without being pedantic, as I am going though a tough period in my life. Speaking of her yoga practice, she can immediately sees what you need to work on and gives you previous advice. She even got me into Yin Yoga that I didn’t like back then: now I understand it a bit better thanks to her tips. The yoga part was complemented by some small trips in the area. Paula participates in the activities with so you don’t have to think about anything and you can be almost virtually stress free.
It was well worth the money, if you consider you don’t necessarily have to rent a car, all the meals are taken care and were supergood, you have one-on-one classes and a super nice accommodation.
My goal was to disconnect from corporate and city life abroad, and it went above my expectations.

"Fabulous!"
This bespoke yoga retreat is truly tailored to your needs.
Paula will meet with you online prior to discuss your requirements - all of which will be met throughout your stay!
Paula is an excellent vegan cook, and together with her partner Erico, you will enjoy all of the benefits of a wonderfully rustic Italian home-stay.
This partnership is hard-working, not only running the retreat, but also a 6-room B&B, the guests of which you may meet on the terrace for the buffet breakfast provided each morning by the charming Erico.
This couple are warm, friendly and welcoming, the yoga and meditation are designed to suit your needs, the rural setting is unbelievably tranquil and the daily excursions are wonderful - Tuscany is outstandingly beautiful, and Paula is an excellent guide!
- plus! Zeno (the border collie) is delightful and so well trained!
Paula (originally hailing from Argentina) and Swiss-born Erico, are the soul of this retreat, this is their home, and they welcome you and take care of you as a friend.
I truly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend booking this retreat!

"Un posto molto bello con belle persone"
This retreat was truly healing. Along with excellent yoga every day there is so much to do in the area of Maremma - a magical slice of Italy with great walks, old hill towns, hikes, sea swimming and natural hot springs. Paula and Erico are so welcoming and accommodating of all your ideas and plans, and Paula is absolutely the reason that everyone should book this trip; she gives so much of herself to the yoga, learning and getting it right for you. On top of this the accommodation is beautiful, unique and open, with views across olive groves and vineyards - to enjoy with the best dog! - and the food was some of the best vegetarian meals I have had. It was hard to leave and I could honestly stay all year and would not hesitate to rebook or recommend. Plus it’s incredibly easy to get to by train so nothing to hold you back! Perfetto! Grazie mille!

"An Amazing Break"
Paula and Erico are two of the most wonderful and accommodating hosts you could hope for.
The location was great, Paula's desire to tailor things just for us (It was myself and my daughter who visited to do a bit of yoga and see some other stuff too) was amazing so our time couldn't have been better. Just the right balance of relaxation and activity.
It was great that the yoga was tailored for us too. I'm worse than a beginner but my daughter is competent but we both made progress which was great.
Gong / sound bath was great too.
Food was vegetarian but even a (sometimes fussy) teenage daughter found more than enough to enjoy. Pack lunches and a walk to a big coastal peak were other highlights as well as the sulphurous stream around 45 mins away.

"Tranquil Tuscan Yoga Retreat with Fabulous Vegetarian Food"
This was my 1st solo trip and it was beyond beautiful. The location was stunning, the morning meditation and yoga was blissful and the vegetation food was fabulous. Paula organised 3 daily trips which were all breathtakingly beautiful and along with Erico they were wonderful hosts - Erico on my final night popped out after dinner to go buy some gelato as they both knew how much I loved it.
I would recommend this trip to those new to yoga and experienced - it was the perfect holiday combined with yoga

"Just what I was looking for and more"
Paula takes dear care of her visitors. Upon booking the retreat, she organized a call with me to get an understanding of what I was looking for. I learned that she carefully tailors her programs depending on the desires of those on the retreat. For me and the other guest the week I visited, that meant a daily 30-minute meditation/breathwork practice followed by a ~1.5-hour physical practice with a focus on the elements. We then transitioned to a yin practice later in the week. I’ll note that I wasn’t looking for an intense physical practice, but Paula shared that she’s created programs with more focus on physical intensity for those who are looking for that.
The rest of the days were spent with a mix of excursions and free time. Paula guided our small group on three excursions—1) hike and visit to a beautiful beach in Monte Argentario; 2) trip to the thermal springs of Saturnia; 3) tours of the towns of Pitigliano, Sorano, and a walk through the Via Cava di San Rocco (Etruscan cave road).
As others have mentioned, Paula is a talented chef. She grows her own vegetables on the property and much of what she prepares comes from her own garden. The food is fresh and is absolutely delicious.
But really it’s the hosts that make this retreat shine. Paula and her partner Erico welcomed us and treated us with a warmth that I’d associate with family and dear friends. I’d recommend this retreat wholeheartedly.

"Einfach wundervoll"
Bei Paula und Erico bekommt man das volle Genuss-Programm!
Wahnsinnig leckeres und gesundes Essen, eine wunderschöne Unterkunft (mit zauberhaftem Hund inklusive ;)) und hochwertigen Yogaunterricht.
Man hat viel Zeit zu geniessen, zu entspannen wird aber von Paula auch sehr gefordert sich im Yoga zu verbessern und an seinen Schwachstellen zu arbeiten.
Die Ausflüge sind wunderschön und bieten eine tolle, sportliche Abwechslung.
Einfach wundervoll ist es auch, dass Paula und Erico einem die Möglichkeit geben zu sehen wie sie leben und Yoga/Buddhismus praktizieren.
Es war eine fantastische Reise mit viel Inspiration, Herzlichkeit und persönlichem Wachstum.

"Beautiful yoga retreat in Tuscany"
I had the most beautiful and relaxing time with Paula in Tusacany. The location was so beautiful and the landscape simply dreamy. Paula and Erico were really nice hosts and kind souls. Paula always prepared the most amazing healthy, simple vegan foods. The activities were great, I really got to see a lot of beautiful spots in Tuscany. And the yoga practise was really good and Paula really tried to match it to my personal level and areas of focus. I enjoyed my time so much and really want to come back to Artemisia!

"Everything I hoped for and more"
I had such a wonderful time at this retreat. Everything was custom designed for my interests and requests. Casale Artemisia is a beautiful location, very comfortable rooms and the food was so delicious. Paula and Erico are so welcoming and friendly. The daily yoga was excellent, designed by Paula for me. In addition to the yoga there was a planned excursion each day. Paula took me hiking and to the ocean for a swim one day, on a hike to a special hermitage site one day, to Saturnia hot springs one day and to Parco dei Mostri on one day. This gave me so much more than I expected and I will definitely return. Easy access by train. Paula was at the station to pick me up and kindly took me to the station very early in the morning on my departure day.

"Breathing and Healing with Nature"
I loved the serenity and tranquility of being surrounded by the beauty of nature all around me. The peace and quiet surroundings were like medicine for the soul. It was incredible to see how beautiful it is to be outdoors and surrounded by trees, mountains, sea and the glorious warmth of the sun on my face!
Paola’s love for nature, has inspired me and has shown me how nature can calm the mind, body and soul.
Paola is a very compassionate and caring person. When we were practicing, she was considerate and patient with my level or capacity of my movements. I am so grateful for having had such an amazing and rewarding experience.
