"Perfect relaxation in nature"

Italy Farm Stay is a perfect getaway if you want to have a worry-free stay with magnificent food, kind people and a diverse amount of activities, all close to nature. Everyone is very welcoming, chill and down to earth. The rooms are superclean and the farm is full of cozy corners to explore, hang out, or hide with a book if necessary. I stayed for one week but could have used a couple more to fully enjoy all the things to do there, even in November.

Thank you so much guys!

Tip for future guests: In November the nights can be quite chilly at that height, and as most of the times the meals are consumed outside, it could be nice to have a couple extra layers with you ;)

"חוויה מיוחדת ומדהימה!"

החווה של אנטונאלו היא מקום מרגיעה ופשוט יפייפה! האירוח שלו נעים והוא דואג לכל אחד ואחד ממי שמגיע אליו. יש כל כך הרבה מקומות לטייל בהם באזור למי שאוהבים טיולים, יש מסלולים קלים וכאלה שיותר קשים. אני מאוד אהבתי את מגוון האופציות, וגם פשוט לשהות בחווה ולקרוא ספר על הערסל! ממליצה לכל אחד שצריך מקום של שקט יחד עם אנשים טובים שתמיד מגיעים לשם!!

"A dream-like retreat"

During my search online, I was specifically searching for something that would be relaxing, and something that would help be get away from the stress of everyday life. When Italy Farm came up on my feed, at first it seemed too good to be true, and even after booking I tried to keep my expectations as low as possible in order to not be disappointed. However, everything turned out to be exactly like in the pictures and reviews.

Antonello was a great host and very helpful. Upon my arrival in Italy, I was having trouble getting my way from the airport, but Antonello was responsive and guided me very clearly. Additionally, I was immensely satisfied with the yoga instructor - Ana, whom one of the fellow guests referred to as "mother nature herself"; peaceful, calm, and soothing.

During my stay, I had the chance to hang out with the other guests, and I liked how Italy Farm managed to create a sense of community, even if it was for a few days. Aside from the yoga sessions in the morning, we were able to organise as a group different afternoon activities, such as a visit to the lake, hiking at the waterfall, and meditation walking.

I highly recommend this retreat for those who want to be one with nature, as well as be reminded of the importance of life. This retreat was a great chance to take the time to reflect, write down in a journal, reconsider life decisions, and be grateful of life.

"Beautiful place with beautiful people"

This is a very special place to stay. Antonello knows how to give his guests a wonderful experience and shows the very best of the natural beauty of Abruzzo National Park through his various hikes and activities. You will be getting a very authentic experience. You will never be bored as even lying in one of the hammocks at the farm and admiring the stunning surrounding landscape is an amazing experience. You will meet people from all over the world at the farm and make new friends. Ana is also an incredible yoga teacher, she is very in tune with her students and knows what they need, you will be in very safe hands during her classes. If you are looking to really switch off and immerse yourself in natural beauty and be in the company of great people, Italy Farm Stay is the place for you.

"A perfect holiday"

Italy Farm Stay is such a special place. I met incredible people from all around the world, walked to the local town, ate well, picked fruit from the trees, did yoga and Reiki with Ana and a Thai massage with Michael - both absolutely fantastic practitioners. I am so utterly blessed to have had the experience I did and hope to return next year with my daughter. It was inspiring to see families enjoying the farm and activities too. The pictures represent the farm very well and, for me, I thought it was fantastic value compared to other retreats. I miss it already. Grazie Antonello and everyone who makes this such a special place.

"I found my peace here "

However…. It’s a beautiful place with the friendliest people from all over the world. I came alone to find peace and stillness within myself and ended up getting my heart filled by all the wonderful strangers that became companions, and found my solace too.

I felt free on the farm to wander as I pleased, pick fruits, take a nap under a tree, pet the donkeys.

The food was wonderful I looked forward to it every day.

A highlight was the waterfall hike.

It was a bit expensive perhaps for just two meals a day and a caravan, but I don’t regret a single moment and actually ended up staying another day.

"Perfect time out for yoga, hiking, and relaxing"

There are so many possibilities - almost every day you can join for an activity. But just a day for relaxing in the hammock is recommendable too. The overnight hike is pretty challenging but absolutely worth it! The view is spectacular, the air so fresh, and the surroundings breathtaking. Back to basics with food prepared in the campfire but a roof over your head for the night.

"Relax, Walk, Smile and Breathe "

Almost as soon as I arrived at the farm I felt relaxed and at ease and I had the best nights sleep on that first night. Breakfast and dinner times were especially enjoyable because of the variety of fresh and tasty food and because of the company of other guests, from many different countries, who I enjoyed meeting and spending time with. I went on two guided walks - one to a lake which I swam in and, which from above, had the most beautiful view. The waterfall walk was a challenge, but an enjoyable and rewarding one. Morning yoga by different instructors was a wonderful start to the day. I had a Thai massage, after which I felt lighter and like I was walking on air. I also had a Reiki session which, I believe, has had a positive and beneficial effect on my mental health. Glad I extended my stay to a week as I think a few days would been too short a time to gain the full benefit of the experience. I would recommend this yoga retreat.

"I nearly appreciated everything of my holidays on the farm! "

I was looking for a combination out of yoga and possibilities of hiking in a beautiful nature. I got both and even more I thought I needed.

It was a big joy meeting so many lovely people on the farm for exchange experiences and making some new ones. The breakfast and dinner were healthy and delightful!

I was pretty surprised of the effects of my Reiki Session with Ana. I recommend trying this very much. Loved it also taking hikes in silence with Antonello and Ana ending with a freezing bath in a lake as well as close to a wonderful waterfall!

There was an overall heartwarming atmosphere on the farm where I could easily taking a rest in the evening of my adventures while daytime.

It seems right after my way back home as if my soul stays in Italy for a bit longer.

Thank you for the beneficial holidays Antonello, Ana, Guilia and all the other people working or staying on the farm!

"Yoga meets Nature"

The location is in a National Park which added a connection with the natural environment while practicing yoga. The yoga, food and massages were of the highest standard. I loved the hospitality.

"A peaceful oasis"

The farm was a beautiful experience for anyone who wants to slow down and enjoy nature, meet interesting people from all over the world, and try new activities. Antonello gave very detailed instructions on getting to the farm and responded quickly to any questions I had. I hope to return soon!

"Amazing reiki training "

I went to the farm to learn the practice of Reiki and had a wonderful experience. Ana is a very spiritually intune practitioner and I feel I have learned a lot. The farm is a peaceful place of connection and there are so many wholesome activities such as yoga, horseriding, massages,… highly recommend coming here!

"Fantastic food, company, location!"

Our stay was exactly what we both needed - relaxing, fun, and full of lovely people. Antonello will surely remain the most memorable part of our trip; he was a funny and warm host making everyone feel welcome and appreciated as a guest, especially around the dinner table in the evenings with his ridiculous stories!

The breakfast and dinner was nourishing and delicious everyday and I looked forward to those shared meals throughout our time at Italy Farm Stay.

Anna took our yoga class each morning and I have to say she’s the best yoga teacher I’ve ever experienced; thoughtful and original each day.

The accommodation was a beautifully renovated old barn with a rich history which you could read about in the hallways - such an amazing touch.

I would recommend Italy Farm Stay to anyone who wants a chill holiday with fantastic food and good company (and I have recommended it to literally anyone who’d listen since we got home!).

I loved the beautiful landscapes you can see everywhere around you. The athmosphere was friendly and relaxing and it was nice to get to know other guests. The place where morning yoga was held, was magical, I loved it. Food was also very good and the accomodation was very cosy.

Had a lovely stay at Italy Farm Stay. And the morning yoga classes with Ana Ichim were just perfect. Such a wonderfull warm, caring and serene person. Beautiful voice wich made the mantra singing at the end of each class a great bonus

"Energetic retreat "

Antonellos farm is a very energetic place, always bustling with great company of other guests and volunteers. The yoga practice is very calming, traditional and meditative which makes for a wonderful contrast. There are different teachers with different styles of teaching and all is set in beyond beautiful nature with lots to discover at your own will and pace.

"Tolle Erholung auf der Farm!"

Die Zeit auf der Farm hat mir richtig gut getan. Jeden Morgen mit einer Yoga-Einheit, die Olivia super angeleitet hat, zu starten, war toll! Die gemeinsamen Mahlzeiten, wie Frühstück und Abendessen waren frisch und lecker! Die Ruhe auf der Farm und die Lage in einem kleinen Dorf haben mir total gut gefallen! Die Tiere waren toll! Man kann schöne Wanderungen machen und sich erholen! Antonello ist ein super Gastgeber und sehr bemüht, alle Wünsche wahr werden zu lassen. Auch alle Voluntere und dort lebenden und/oder arbeitenden Menschen sind sehr nett und aufmerksam!

Ich habe mich total wohl gefühlt und würde jederzeit nochmal wieder kommen!

"Beautiful relaxed farm stay"

The setting is beautiful- rolling hills, olive groves, fresh air and expansive views, plus the stars twinkling at night. The farm is a lovely place to stay, the room was comfortable and there was plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The morning yoga classes with Olivia were great- every day different postures, good stretches and not too challenging. Breakfast and dinner both generous and wholesome. Really recommended place!

"Thank you for a wonderful retreat"

The farm stay was a beautiful experience! I felt so welcomed by the people there and I loved the morning yoga, horseback riding, walking meditation hike by the lake (I paid 10-15 euro to add this to my retreat), dinners each night and breakfasts each morning. I’m so grateful for my time there and so glad I decided to go! :)

"A place of calm happiness "

I really enjoyed my stay at the farm. Everybody, including the volunteers and the other guest contributed to make this stay amazing. The atmosphere at the farm is very calm and relaxed but at the same time there is a lot of laughter and life. There is room for introspective solitude in the beautiful nature and around the farm, but also plenty of opportunity to connect and share adventures and excitement with likeminded people.I feel that the place attracts good people and have a fantastic energy around it.

The farm is very beautiful with gorgeous trees, plants, fruits and aromatic herbs shared with living beings such as donkeys and wildroaming chickens.

The surrounding nature with its hills and vegetation is just so beautiful.

The nearby city of Sora is a very nice place to explore, with lovely cafés, delicious gelatos and stunning architecture.

I can really recommend walking to Sora, but also the Castle Hike and a trip to Monte Cassino is highly recommendable.

The food at the farm was very fresh, locally produced and delicious with many ingredients coming directly from the farm, such as fruits and eggs. Every meal was very diverse with so many different flavors and options. Great for vegans and vegetarians as well as meat eaters.

The Yoga and treatments was of a very high quality performed by very competent people. It made me even more calm and happy. I also got to have the paragliding experience which was so much fun, amazing and beautiful.

"Absolutly great time at italy farm stay"

I spent 7 days at italy farm stay and recovered better than I dared hope.

The nature, the animals, the community of operators, volunteers and guests was unique. I felt very comfortable from the first moment. It was like arriving at the place that was just right for me at that moment.

Honestly, what I got for my money there is priceless. A great mix of adventurous activities and relaxing, good conversations (I went horseback riding, hiking in silence as a community, swimming in the lake, waterfall hiking, yoga and reiki). To a certain extent I grew beyond myself and was able to heal in this wonderful place. The houses and rooms also had everything you need and, above all, charm. The shared meal with fresh ingredients from the farm was delicious.

A special thanks to Giulia and especially Anna. Your yoga and Reiki have done me so much good. Clear recommendation for Italy farm stay. I hope I can come back soon.

"The most calming and profound experience"

This was a beautifully structured course at a calm farm with amazing people around.

Antonello is a fun host who makes sure that you eat well, spend a pensive moment in your own head and you sleep well. The food was mostly vegan, extremely nutricious and plentiful, the rooms were cozy and clean and the activities around were just the right amount of challenge (including the 8 degree lake swim - you were right Antonello, I am proud of myself).

Ana is an amazing yoga teacher. Her morning hatha yogas in the nature were always a beautiful and calming session, sometimes including chanting with a guitar. I always felt incredibly grounded afterwards and will now seek more of that in my everyday morning routine.

The Reiki Course with Ana gave me way more than I expected. Ana guided us through the theory and then practise, leaving plenty of room for our questions and creating such a beautiful and also magical atmosphere. Ana also provided us with a lot of material and recommendations for further study that I feel like there is a lot I can do before I seek further guidance.

The space was beautiful, the people were wonderful (also a big thank you to Ann who welcomed us in her home for the most magical dinner setting) and the program was just perfectly set up.

I am extremely thankful for this beautiful experience and recommend it to anyone interested in exploring Reiki.

Love, Daniela

"Heaven! "

A small community that opens its arms to you as soon as you arrive. Giuseppe is the best cook and the amount of food is amazing. The yoga and reiki with Ana was the best I have experienced and in a platform in the forest which was so beautiful. I felt cared for but also free to hike and go and explore. thank you everyone X

"Merveilleux lieu pour se reposer et se ressourcer"

Nous avons été très bien accueillies par toute l'équipe de la ferme, chacun est très gentil et accueillant. La ferme est un beau lieu pour se reposer, il y a beaucoup de chemins de randonnées aux alentours pour les amateurs et la région est vraiment magnifique à explorer.

Les installations sont bien, nous avons eu l'occasion de dormir dans une caravane (qui nous a été proposée à la place des tentes pour que nous n'ayons pas trop chaud, ce qui était vraiment extrêmement gentil de la part des gérants de la ferme) et c'était très agréable d'y dormir.

Les repas étaient un vrai régal, fait maison et pleins de saveurs.

Nous avons même pu sympathiser avec les autres participants.

Les cours de yoga sont très bien, ils conviennent à tout niveau et les professeurs sont doux dans leurs pratiques. Il expliquent bien et nous transmettent leur philosophie de pratique.

I loved....

1. All of the volunteers and the wonderful guests who made my stay memorable.

2. Ana, our daily yoga teacher, who took us on the most magical of yoga sessions every morning.

3. The activities that were available whilst on the retreat. The walks to and from the waterfall AND to the lake were fabulous and breath-taking.

4. THE FOOD!!! The breakfasts that we were provided and the wonderful dinners were heavenly.

5. How beautifully quiet the surroundings were on the Farm to facilitate self-reflection.

"Experiencia totalmente gratificante y recomendada "

Es la segunda vez que visito la Farm, lo considero un lugar perfectamente adapto para un retiro y con una energía maravillosa. Las clases de yoga por la mañana (hermosas en mi opinión), antes del desayuno preparado con mucho amor por los voluntarios es mi parte favorita, pero también se puede disfrutar de otras actividades como yoga por la tarde, caminatas meditativas, paseos en caballo, o simplemente relajarse en la granja rodeados por naturaleza y un muy lindo ambiente. Es una comunidad muy especial q siempre me hace sentir super cómoda y a gusto, con gente muy buena. Sin dudas volveré el próximo año ! Más q recomendado. Relación precio-calidad: excelente

Both persons have been very kind. The yoga classes went very deep. I loved the Reiki treating by Ana.

I would like coming back again some day.

Ana is the most amazing yoga teacher ever.

Practicing with her in the morning was the best part of the day. I also did a reiki section with her and I was impressed by how powerfull it was.

The location is really nice, simple, welcoming and really authentic.

A beautiful group of fellow travellers made everything even better.

"Liebevoll kuratierte Farm"

Ich hatte das Tantra-Paket gebucht, jedoch einen Tag kürzer als angeboten. Ich war sehr glücklich dass dennoch alles in diesem Zeitraum reibungslos geklappt hat. Die Farm bietet verschiedene Pakete an und dementsprechend auch täglich zusätzliche Aktivitäten, zu denen man dazustoßen kann. Das teils eigenangebaute und selbstgekochte Essen sowie die idyllische Umgebung habe ich sehr wertgeschätzt.

Es war mein erster Kontakt mit Tantra u.ä. Dadurch war ich sehr gespannt & wurde keinesfalls enttäuscht :) ein Highlight für mich persönlich war die Reiki Massage!

Un 10/10 pour cette magnifique expérience dans cette ferme perdue en Italie proche des montagnes : cours de yoga excellents, chambres cocooning, ambiance au top, accueil chaleureux, breafkast & lunch au complet, pleins d’activités pour ne jamais s’ennuyer, meilleurs massages. J’ai tellement apprécié les cours de 2h de yoga/relaxation en plein milieu de la forêt sous les arbres pour tout niveau (que je vais intégrer dans ma routine) avec Ana qui joue de la guitare à la fin du cours. Juste magique. J’ai beaucoup apprécié la compagnie d’antonello, personnage à part entière, et sa famille : Giuseppe pleins de ressources, bienveillant, Maria tellement gentille, …

Antonello and his team are really such great people. They are so nice and helpful, I really appreciate everything they did for me. Ana also is a great yoga teacher, very spiritual and calm. Her voice is incredible and I really enjoyed the mantras she sang to us with her guitar.

I really also enjoyed the food. Enough for everyone and also a lot of natural options as well.

"Budget experience "

The 2 hour yoga sessions in the mornings were great. One suggestion thou is that it would have felt better if it was split into a 1hr solar session in the morning and a 1hr lunar session in the evening before dinner, as the chanting and relaxation would be best later on in the day.

"Life is beautiful and this holiday reinforces this!"

I had the most wonderful few days at Antonello's farm. I only wish I could bottle the feeling of peace and serenity this holiday has given me and share it with all of my loved ones!

The morning yoga with Ana was such a beautiful experience. She is an excellent teacher and it was such a joy to practice surrounded by the forest. (I particularly loved the sessions which ended with song or chanting. They were exquisite).

During my stay, I also took part in a tantra workshop, a sound bath and the silent meditative walk - I enjoyed all of these enormously and felt mentally energised and emotionally nourished by them. I also went horse riding - riding through the forest, with such amazing scenery, was a brilliant experience.

I also had some reiki with Ana and TVM with Michael. It is difficult to put into words, just how beneficial these have been to me! They were each very special experiences, which left me with a sense of calm and clarity, which has remained with me, nearly a week later!

I met some wonderful people on this trip and made some very precious memories indeed.

Thank you, Antonello, Ana and Michael for making this trip such a special experience for me. I hope to visit you again one day.

If you are wondering whether or not to book this holiday, do it! Go with an open mind, an open heart and be ready to embrace and enjoy it all!

I absolutely loved this retreat. I have never done anything like this before, and as a solo female traveller I felt completely safe and at home here.

All the volunteers and instructors were welcoming and the community is amazing. I was only here for 3 nights but I wish I could’ve stayed longer! All the food was fresh and home cooked, sharing it with people from all over the world was really special.

It’s an ideal place to spend time in nature and the activities were flexible and always in idyllic settings. The yoga on the platform really was incredible (I don’t know how I can go back to a studio after this) even the small walk there was beautiful. I’d recommend this experience to anyone - so different and special. I hope to come back very soon to meet even more lovely people.

Thank you!!

"Just what I wanted"

I didn't have any expectations for this retreat. First, Sora is an amazing little town and I loved my time there- it's worth spending some time walking around. Very nice helpful people in the town of Sora.

The farm is in a beautiful picturesque town. My room was in beautiful stone walled building and was nicely furnished. There was no reception or wifi back there but you're on a retreat. There is very good wifi in the main building where breakfast and dinner are held and where you may find yourself laying around in a hammock. The rooms in the main building have wifi.

Ana is a fantastic yoga teacher she incorporates breathwork, mantra, and even played the guitar to a mantra during one of our classes. Definitely one of the best yoga teachers I've had.

I didn't include too many excursions as I just wanted to relax. The hike to the lake was beautiful but unfortunately occurred during this crazy Mediterranean heat wave. Pack your electrolytes with you. Otherwise this is what I've wanted from a yoga retreat a nice mix of people of all ages on vacation. Antonello's father is also very nice gentleman.

"Einzigartiges Yoga-Farm-Erlebnis mit tollen Yogalehrenden"

Ich hatte eine ganz wunderbare Zeit auf der Yogafarm. Die morgentlichen Yogastunden mit Ana waren, jede für sich, einzigartig und ich habe viel Inspiration für meine eigene Yogapraxis mitgenommen. Antonello's und Ana's Wissen über Yoga und Meditation scheint unterschöpflich, alleine deshalb werde ich gerne wiederkommen. Außerdem war die Reiki-Session mit Ana eine ganz besondere Erfahrung, die ich wirklich empfehlen kann, sowie die Tantra/Coaching Session bei Gwen. Die Farm selbst ist klein und charmant, was sie aber wirklich auszeichnet sind die vielen wunderbaren Menschen, darunter die Freiwilligen, die Familie und die anderen Gäste. Die Atmosphäre war sehr herzlich und offen. Das Einzelzimmer war groß und es war toll, einen Rückzugsort mit eigenem Badezimmer für mich zu haben. Das Essen war jeden Tag ein Highlight! Außerdem ist die Gegend wunderschön, es finden sich in der Umgebung viele schöne Stellen zum Meditieren und Entspannen in der Natur. Die Hikes zu den Wasserfällen waren herausfordernd aber großartig! Alles in allem war mein Aufenthalt auf der Yogafarm eine sehr bereichernde Erfahrung. Ich habe nicht nur meine Yogapraxis vertieft, sondern auch neue Freunde gefunden und unvergessliche Momente erlebt. Ich freue mich schon darauf, wiederzukommen.

"Authentic yoga stay"

I found this a very nourishing and relaxing place to be. I loved the food, meeting new people and enjoying some authentic yoga. It was so nice to chant at the end of a class, Ana has a beautiful voice and her passion was evident when she played the guitar. I enjoyed the walking meditation although I would say it was more a hike. Making pasta with Noona was fun and topped my Italian farmstead, I wish I could have stayed longer.

Really enjoyed this yoga retreat set on a lovely farm. The yoga instructors (Anna and Arianna) were knowledgeable, adaptable and their classes were enjoyable. Yoga was held on an outdoor platform which made the experience special. I enjoyed other aspects such as hiking and walks, the fresh food and animals. Would recommend.

"I highly recommend this experience to everyone."

Everything exceeded my expectations. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with warmth. Antonello made sure we feel as comfortable as possible with everything. Throughout our stay everyone was extremely accommodating with the extra activities and schedule, making sure that everyone can do what they would like to do, when they would like to do it.

The yoga with Ana was a truly beautiful and fulfilling experience, she's a great instructor. Not only did she make it very easy to follow her lead, she also made me feel extremely relaxed with her warm voice - chanting at the end of classes was beautiful. Besides the yoga, Ana also guided us through a gorgeous hike to a hidden waterfall - challenging but truly worth it.

The room was comfortable, the food was delicious and the farm was lovely, filled with beautiful souls. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience to everyone there, looking forward to the next one!

"Yoga, Natur und wunderbare Menschen ♥"

Das Retreat auf dem Italy Farm Stay war wirklich wunderbar. Das Doppelzimmer war rustikal und zeitgleich modern - ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage mitten in der Natur, umgeben von Bergen, Wald, Zitronen- und Olivenbäumen war wunderschön und sehr erholsam. Hier entspannt man ganz schnell. Das Yoga bei Naomi war unglaublich gut. Danke Naomi für deine wunderbaren Yogastunden mit Meditation, Pranayama, abwechslungsreicher Asana-Praxis und deiner tollen Stimme. Ich danke dir von Herzen für dein Sein & die Ayurveda-Massage. Das Essen auf der Farm war frisch, gesund und köstlich. Selbst angebauten Wein von Opa Giuseppe gab es auch jeden Abend. Man hat sich wie ein Teil der Familie gefühlt - Danke dafür! Ich wollte nicht mehr gehen und freue mich sehr auf einen erneuten Besuch bei Antonello auf der Farm. Liebe Grüße, Janina

"Review Susan "

I really enjoyed my stay. Despite staying very short (3 nights) it felt that I was away for much longer! I felt at home right away and met very nice people. I came home very well-rested. The location is great, with beautiful views and a very nice room. The dinner made by Julia was amazing! There were plenty of activities to do. I enjoyed the yoga classes a lot. Naomi was a great teacher! I really enjoyed her classes as they had a great variety. The more meditative classes of Micheal were amazing too. Great combination of teachers.

Das Retreat hatte einen sehr familiäre und authentische Ausstrahlung. Da es auf einem Hof liegt. Die Umgebung ist wunderschön und man kann viele Spaziergänge unternehmen. Es ist einfach und simpel und genau das Richtige um dem hektischen Alltag / Stadtleben zu entfliehen.

"Heerlijk tot rust gekomen "

Mijn partner en ik kwamen in de avond aan en konden gelijk aanschuiven bij het heerlijke eten. Het eten is erg vers en afwisselend, veel komt van de farm zelf. Zo maken ze zelf de olijfolie, tomatensaus, wijn, etc. Ik keek elke dag opnieuw uit naar het avondeten, genieten.

De yoga was heerlijk om de dag mee te beginnen. Er werd afgewisseld tussen passief en actief, met meditatieve facetten. De yoga instructrice was top. Er was ook de mogelijkheid om yoga aan te vragen in de middag, dit moest je doorgeven in de ochtend. Het fijne was dat dit een hele andere soort yoga was. Genoeg afwisseling dus.

De omgeving van de farm is prachtig. Heerlijk rustgevend in de bergen. Je kan er mooi hiken en de wandelduur naar Sora, stadje met winkels en cafes, was zo'n 45 minuten lopen.

Ik heb ook gekozen voor een paardrijtocht. Dit duurde een uurtje. De tocht was fijn, enkel gewandeld. Dit was niet erg, je doet het voor de rust en de natuur.

Wij hebben enorm genoten van onze tijd bij de farm, inclusief gezelligheid met de mensen die er werken en andere bezoekers.

De plek was geweldig en de sfeer van de mensen die er werkte was ook erg fijn! Iedereen liet je erg thuis voelen.

Yoga lessen van Olivia waren fantastisch. Ze sloot elke les af met poëzie, heel tof!

Ondanks ik de eerste en enige gast was met de yogapackage heeft Antonello mij erg thuis laten voelen en betrok mij in andere activiteiten waarvoor de andere gasten kwamen, dat was erg fijn!

I loved how natural this experience was. It was like joining a traditional family, the rooms were very clean and welcoming, the food was homely and healthy, the setting was remote and beautiful. It was very relaxing, the host was very easy going and made sure every need was met. The yoga classes were exceptional, nice long sessions with wonderful instructors.

"Awsome Experience !!!!!"

The most relaxing Farm yoga retreat EVER.

Awesome people, beautiful Souls, great yoga classes, ( I have experienced some of my BEST yoga classes in 15 years here) ., Great activities, amazing food.. what else can you ask for. I would definitely suggest staying here for anybody who's looking for a soul-searching journey, lots of Peace , Solitude (if you need it), abundance of love and hearing the birds chirping in the distance, what a plus!!!

The yoga room was created with such love and thoughtfulness. Yoga on the outside platform was also a special treat.

A no frills kind of place that brings awareness to your senses, brings love to your soul and creates memories that you will never ever forget.

"A beautiful place to connect with yourself and others."

This place is so beautiful. Not just for the nature but also the people. I feel centred and fulfilled. The best yoga classes I’ve ever done.

Antonello is an incredibly caring and accommodating host.

There is so much to learn here. Also is a perfect space for healing/connecting with yourself and others.

I will definitely be back <3

Thank you so much to you Antonello and to Anna and everyone else on the farm.

"Best yoga retreat"

It was the second time that I was hear. And as the last time, I just love it so much. I feel so grounded here and everybody is so welcoming. It Always fullfil me with joy. I love the yoga practices with Ana, it's so powerful and gives me the opportunity to reconect with my emotions and my being. And the nature there is just amazing. I love, that it's a farm. And also all the activities are so wonderfull. Thank you so much for another lovely 4 days. I will be back next year in August ☺️

"a family away from home"

my experience at the farm stay was effortless. Antonello has created a space where people can share humour, good food and the joy of being at peace in the company of others. Ana is a pure spirit who will guide you with your yoga journey, even as a beginner!

The farm stay is a delight for anyone wishing to connect with their roots and see Italia at its best -

Fresh food, Family and Friendship.

"The perfect place to relax"

The warm welcome from everyone at the farm immediately put me at ease. The morning yoga with Ana was an amazing way to start the day. She was attentive and supportive and corrected postures really well. Her enthusiasm was infectious and her kindness very much appreciated.

Excursions with Antonello were varied and enjoyable. He offered many options and was happy to accommodate what the guests wanted. The horse riding and hike to the abandoned village are memories I'll cherish.

There is plenty of time to relax on the farm, excursions are optional. Relaxing in the beautiful garden with a book is a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

The food provided by Maria and the fabulous volunteers was nothing short of a feast. As a life long vegetarian, I know how to balance a meal, and so does Maria! A wide selection of vegetable dishes were served with a plant protein, cheeses and plenty of salad/greens, much of it from the garden. It was divine.

Giuseppe must also get a mention here, for his warm welcome and his enthusiasm for homemade wine and olive oil. I hope to learn more of the process from him when I next visit.

For me, the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people in a place so beautiful is rare. I'm truly grateful for my time at the farm.

This vacation I took at ItalyFarmStay was truly life-changing. The teachers, especially Ana, were really high class, and so considerate. Antonello organised the most beautiful hikes & fun trips. It felt so like family, and I am grateful for the whole stay. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. I feel so recharged and I left with a full heart.

"Blissful and Simulating "

The Yoga farm felt like a sanctuary — disconnected from the stress of daily life and reconnected to nature at every level. From consuming farm-grown food (and wine) to going on hikes up the mountains to starting the day with the most amazing yoga — my stay was transformative. I also met lots of interesting and inspiring people from all over the world, including the lovely family who run the farm - Giuseppe, Maria, Antonello.

Finally, I quite like the variety of activities offered and also the option to do nothing but suck in the view, smell, taste and feeling of the Farm.

"Horrible experience."

The only good thing about the experience was the amazing Anna yoga lessons. We were only two of us and she was correcting postures and adjusting to each person's level. I liked the mantras with the guitar playing, which I've never experienced before and it was relaxing and inspirational.

"Best yogaretreat ever"

I absolutely love this place. Everythinf was just perfect and beautiful. The location was so lovely, because it was on the heels and there was a beautifuk garden, where you can eat fruits all day long. All the people were just wonderfull. It's a beautiful community and you just feel so welcomed from the first minute on. I loved the energy there and that everybody is working together and interagating with eachother. The yoga in the morning by Ana was just breathtaking. We always had yoga on this beautiful platform and Ana did it so so well. Best yogateacher I have ever had so far♥️. And after the shavasana, she sings a mantra with her beautiful voice, while playing the guitar. This always made my day. It was just a magical experience with lovely people and alot of good energy. I felt so at home and it deeply made me happy. The food was also amazing! It was always a surprise, what we will eat, and I loved it! I wi come back for a 1000%. I felt so in love with this place and the community and will be so happy to return back soon. Thank you so so much, Italy Farm Stay. I will always cherrish this few days, which I could spend there in this beautiful home with a super lovely community. Thank you from the buttom of my heart♥️

"A lovely experience at Italy Farm Stay"

Staying in Antonello’s farm has been a nice and lovely pleasure. Antonello is very kind and helpful and is doing his best to give everyone the best possible experience at the farm. Ana the lovely yoga teacher is very professional and the yoga style is hatha yoga which I personally found a difficult ‘challenge’ but also extremely giving and rewarding, I will definitely continue with hatha yoga on my own.

The whole area is stunning with Abruzzo National Park nearby and the beautiful mountains of the town of Sora and the town Pescosolido. I can recommend walking up to the farm if you’re not carrying too much weight to enjoy the view over the mountains.

The farm is really beautiful and surrounded by nature. Cute farm animals are walking around all day. :) Go for a hike or swim in the lake at Lago de Posto Fibreno.

The volunteers and Maria did a really good job with cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner with very varied food and sometimes food from the farm. You can enjoy lunch and dinner with homemade wine.

I think the farm is very social but there is space to just enjoy the farm and the nature on your own if you just feel like that :)

"Alles wat ik nodig had"

De sfeer op de farm is ontspannen en gemoedelijk. De kippen en ganzen lopen los, af en toe balkt een ezel en de heerlijke tomaten groeien voor je neus. Het ritme van de dag met yoga starten (in een prachtige natuurlijk omgeving), daarna ontbijten en kletsen aan de keukentafel, de vrijheid om daarna te doen en laten wat je wil, beviel me heel goed. 3x per week schoven we ‘s avonds niet aan bij de grote tafel, maar aten we bij vrienden van de farm die hun hart, huis en keuken voor ons openden. Een heerlijk concept! De 2 type yoga sessies die werden aangeboden waren verschillend van elkaar, maar tegelijkertijd aanvullend. Ana en Michael zijn beide bijzonder begaafde yoga-docenten en maken van elke les een bijzondere ervaring op verschillende niveaus (fysiek, mentaal, energetisch). Na mijn week op de farm voelde ik me herboren: krachtig, open, vitaal, licht en met veel nieuwe ervaringen en mooie herinneringen ben ik terug naar huis gegaan. (En als je zoals ik ook je Italiaans wil oefenen, dan ben je bij Giuseppe aan het goede adres!)

"Nice stay in the end, but very misleading"

I had a good few days at Italy Farm Stay. The people were really lovely, and the waterfall hike we did was fantastic. The homemade wine was delicious and Sora (45 mins away walking) had cute shops and a market on Thursdays. Above all it was really peaceful and easy to switch off. It would be ideal to have a small pool as it gets so hot in summer.

"Wonderful Escape to the Mountains of Italy- Rejuvenated! "

I had the most amazing time at Italy Farm Stay- it is truly a hidden gem! I booked a very spontaneous flight to Rome and found myself at this beautiful farm for 5 nights/6 days. It was very easy to get to the location (just a 2 hour bus from Ciampino Airport, from there the lovely Olivia picked me up and brought me to the farm). Antonello was there to greet me and show me my room with my own private bathroom. I did yoga every morning, had an amazing reiki session, horseback riding, went on some lovely hikes and swam at Lago di Posta Fibreno many times, the water is crystal clear and you can see all the baby ducks! The farm has a wonderful rustic atmosphere, breakfast with Maria was a delight -- she makes the best scrambled eggs with herbs and oil straight from the farm, she also taught me how to make pasta from scratch! I have since tried it at home 🙂 Dinner with the group every evening was really lovely, the food & wine was all so tasty, I went to bed with a very happy belly. I had a great walk to the town of Sora where I had delicious antipasti, aperol spritz and lots of gelato! I also walked to the town of Pescosolido where it's never too early for a refreshing prosecco and the best espresso! The weather was really amazing and I enjoyed waking up every morning to the sounds of birds, nature, the farm animals, looking at the beautiful butterflies by day and fireflies by night. I made some wonderful friends and cannot wait to return to the farm! Thank you all!

I enjoyed mostly everything about the experience.

The host was great and his family were lovely and very accommodating. The accomodation was very comfortable too.

It was really nice to meet Antonello, his family, the yoga teachers and the volunteers at the yoga retreat in Pescosolido. The location is really nice and rustic, it's located in a very quiet village surrounded by mountains. The yoga teacher (Mahana) was great, I really enjoyed the morning sessions! The food was also fantastic!

"Restorative peaceful yoga holiday in the mountains "

I spent 5 nights at Italy Farm Stay and had a wonderful time. Antonello was a great host, he came up with different activities we could do on most days (hikes, trips to the pasticceria, meditation walks, reiki, massages, cooking and italian classes) and tried hard to make sure everyone has the kind of holiday they would like (whether more relaxed or more active). Both yoga teachers Mahana and Michael (with different styles that complemented each other well) were excellent and very knowledgeable. Everyone on the farm was super kind and I met some lovely fellow guests who I spent a lot of time with wandering through beautiful nature either down to Sora or up the hill to Pescosolido, but it was also always an option to spend time on your own enjoying the garden or the surrounding forest. I also had a Thai massage which was relaxing and skilfully done by Antonello. The food is cooked by the volunteers as well as Antonello's parents and is a tasty, creative and healthy mix of local vegetables, italian classics and salads, with the option of fresh farm eggs in the morning. I was also lucky to be able to taste some of the wine Antonello's father makes at the farm. We spent the evenings all together either with rosemary and sage tea in the kitchen or chats around a bonfire in the garden. I left feeling deeply relaxed and will definitely return as soon as I can :)

"A place to reconnect to yourself and others "

I enjoyed the stay at Italy farm stay a lot! Even though the journey there takes a long time, it’s worth it. The farm is surrounded by olive trees and a beautiful forest leading to a little creek. The place itself has many beautiful little corners to lie in the sun or read a book. There was yoga two times a day with two different teachers, I liked both yoga styles a lot!

But the best thing was probably the connection with the other guests and volunteers - everyone felt accepted and we had deep conversations about many topics.

And last but not least, Antonello was an amazing host and it was a truly valuable experience to meet him. He was always eager to make our stay better by offering additional activities like little hikes.

Also, I definitely recommend booking a massage!

The farm was very authentic, beautiful Italian food and in a wonderful setting with stunning views of the mountains! Everything is made easy and there is a wide selection of activities for you to do if you want to, or you can just relax. Everything is just made so easy to organise depending on what you want to do and you feel very comfortable, welcomed and at home. The yoga and Reiki was fantastic!

"Wonderful place, amazing yoga classes and great food!"

We enjoyed our stay so much! First of all, we would like to compliment Greta for her mindful yoga classes in the morning. Such a warm and caring teacher, very involved with the students.

The farm is beautiful and the surroundings as well. Antonello really made sure to provide and take care of anything we wanted; rooms, activities, planning etc. There was so much to do, we wish we could have stayed longer! The additional option of a Thai massage and Reiki session were absolutely great, would definitely recommend.

The shared meals (with such great food) was also a nice feature of the retreat. A warm and welcoming family; we hope to see you again.

The hosts are a family and they welcome you as one of their own, sharing conversations and meals together. They were very good at managing the various dietary restrictions and allergies of all the different guests. Staying here is a truly Italian farm life experience, getting introduced to the herbs, bee-keeping, wine-making, etc.

My yoga instructor, Aviv was so accommodating and individually customized exercises for us based on our needs and restrictions. I highly recommend

My stay at Italyfarmstay was a paradise for me, simply unforgettable!

Antonello ha creato proprio... un paradisio :)

I didn't expect to discover such a warm, familiar and pleasant atmosphere. I couldn't say what I enjoyed most, between the morning yoga classes in this sublime place in the nature and with a magical teacher, the hikes in these impressive mountains, with these waterfalls, or the moments shared at the farm during the meals or the free time, with exceptional people (both the hosts and the volunteers and other participants).

GRAZIE to Giuseppe for the magic oil, his passion and patience in sharing his secrets about nature and plants with us ;).

I am and will remain infinitely grateful.

A presto!

"Not a retreat "

This is advertised as a retreat but it is not. It is in a beautiful location on a farm and Antonello provides perfect directions to get there. It is a nice place to chill out and relax and the food is fresh from the farm which is a nice perk. However unless you want to hike everywhere it is relatively inaccessible so you need a car to get around and visit the surrounding areas and national park. Also it is advertised as a retreat and it is not, it is more a farm stay/guesthouse/B&B where you do yoga in the morning. Rooms are spacious and there are lots of volunteers working there also. Everyone very friendly and Antonello and Anna are amazing hosts.

"Vier besondere Tage in Italy Farm Stay"

Es waren lediglich drei Nächte, die ich in der Farm verbracht habe und doch hat es sich auf eine Art zeitlos angefühlt. Man taucht in eine Welt puren Lebens ein. Giuseppe, Antonellos Vater, teilt sein Wissen über Kräuter und bereitet einem Tee, während Maria süß-saftige Feigen serviert. Alle Sinne werden wach: man schmeckt die Kraft der Natur in den tiefroten Granatäpfeln, man blickt in die Weite über die sanften Hügel der Abruzzen und spürt dadurch innere Weite, man hört den Eseln zu, wenn sie sich über das Leben austauschen, man riecht Erde und findet Erdung, man spürt die Wärme der herbstlichen Sonne, wie eine schützende Umarmung, die einen umhüllt und ganz ruhig und dankbar werden lässt.

It was a very authentic experience to spend a week on Italien farm, very relaxed atmosphere, yoga classes were excellent and combination of having meals at their neighborhood. Experience of having a cooking class with Maria grandmother was very entertaining. Knowledge about the farm and life by Guiseppe grandfather and having meals and fun with people from different part of world was very fulfilling. I would recommend this authentic experience to everyone who wants to disconnect from technology and connect to yourself, recharge at this lovely italien organic farm with great people.

"Falling In Love With Italy"

This yoga retreat was «love at first sight». The farm is a piece of paradise on earth; wrapped in vivid colours and bright light. Giuseppe is an amazing person; the fact that he finds happiness in the little things has inspired me to smile widely, joyfully, truly. Maria is a great cooker and a lovely teacher, as she taught me how to make pasta on my own (until recently I could only prepare an avocado salad). Linda takes care of every single guest; she provided all the details in order to reach Sora and arranged for transport from Sora to the farm. Antonello is the «soul» of the farm; a person with vision and inner power to make his dreams come true. All of them, each one in his/her own way, contributed to making those 4 days unforgettable. Italy is love for life and life is celebrated when we share a moment; the present moment. I met wonderful people, not only the family members, but also my yoga instructor, other guests and volunteers. We all together shared a lot of moments! For me the most powerful moment was the hiking - I won’t say why, for I will spoil the magic. Dare to do it! Dare to fall in love with life in the Italian way. If you don’t know how to do it, the Italian Farm has the best teachers !

1. The hosts and especially the volunteers were really nice and lovely people. It was easy to get to know everyone and have conversations going quickly beyond small talk. You can practice Italian with Giuseppe if you like, or just stick with English. At the same time, I had lots of space if I wanted to be by myself, with nobody being too pushy.

2. I went dining at a different place every second day which threw some diversity into the mix. Anna's food was simply great (lots of different and well-made veggie varieties). I don't eat white flour and was easily provided with alternatives.

3. The farm is really nice, with a great view, animals you can pet, lots of space, nature and chairs to relax. I did not leave the farm for almost a week since it was so nice and I had everything I needed.

4. I hadn't tried Reiki before (and tend to be a bit sceptic about things that are not scientifically proven) but it was very, very good. I did feel somehow healed afterwards and had interesting personal realisations.

5. Since I went off-season (mid April), I had a 4-bed-room all by myself and private yoga classes. The yoga teacher was very attentive and adjusted the practice according to my needs.

6. The bathroom was nicer than expected.

"Beautiful Property but a Bit Off"

The property was beautiful and there was lots to do in the surrounding nature areas - hikes to castles, waterfalls, into town, etc. The area felt safe to walk around alone (minus some streets in the city). The facilities were beautiful and quiet too, a full immersion in nature. I most enjoyed eating dinner at a house down the road with a stunning view of the hillsides and getting to meet guests from other places. The yoga instructor was great also, and the cleanliness and quality of the room was perfect.

I took Reiki I and II training with Linda this past summer. Linda’s teaching was genuine and from the heart, and far exceeded my expectations. The experience was sincerely powerful and transformative. I am thankful for the insights Linda gave us and hope to train with her again.

In addition, the farm stay brought together a great group of warm hearted travelers and yogis of all ages from around the world. Maria’s cooking was healthy, delicious, and plentiful. The farm’s volunteers made sure everyone felt welcomed. I’d love to visit again and highly recommend a stay here.

I had a great time staying at Italyfarmstay. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The farm is in a very beautiful location just outside the Abruzzi National Park. To walk to town it took around 40 min. I appreciated spending a vacation in the countryside without not absolutely needing a car. Met some amazing people among the other guests and spend the afternoons with them . I stayed in a beautiful room that was renovated and decorated with lot's of care, very pretty !

Thanks to Antonello and the rest of the staff ! I will come back.

"Simply perfect!"

I loved staying at this farm! After a hectic period I came to rest and found peace at this beautiful place. From the first moment I completely felt at ease. I met great people and felt very welcome by the whole family. Life is so simple here, there is nothing to worry about. My room was nice, I slept well on the comfortable bed. Each morning after getting up I took yoga classes from Linda. The varied lessons ware such a joy and after that I could start my day feeling totally relaxed. After a breakfast with fresh eggs of their chickens I usually relaxed in the garden on the sunbeds or went for a hike in the beautiful area. Dinner contains delicious fresh food from the farm (onions, artichoke, lettuce and serval other vegetables). I highly recommended the Reiki treatment and oil massage! This was a lovely addition!

I love to come back again!

"A wonderful break"

The yoga and reiki took me forward in my development. All the yoga classes I went to, with various teachers, were excellent. Our hosts, and the whole atmosphere was warm, accepting and fun. I felt like I was in a special place, The farm is surrounded by mountains, it's a beautiful spot. The food was delicious, fresh from the farm and abundant.

"Relaxing retreat "

Maria was lovely and the evening food was great.

Walking around the area was nice but very hilly! The walking meditation was a good experience.

Lovely doing yoga on two of the mornings.

The Italy Farm Stay is a very nice place. The rooms are very clean.

The Yoga with Linda in the morning is very good. She is a nice yoga teacher and she gives helpful and clear instructions. It is such a good start into the day. Also the surrounding is beautiful. There is so much to do...or you can also just relax in the garden. I really enjoyed my stay a lot!

"Loved it!"

It was such an awesome experience, i have met so many wonderful people in this beautiful landscape where the farm is located and the farm family is really lovely. Loved the food!

Yoga teachers have all been very good. Reiki with Linda is absolutely recommended, felt magical afterwards.

"Tranquility in Pescosolido"

My time at Italy Farm Stay was fantastic. I'd love to come back here again! Antonello, Linda, Giuseppe and Maria provided a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere.

I took the 'camping' option which had me in a very cool 'A' frame style tent with cot. If you're travelling on your own or with a friend - this is a fun option. If with a family - go for a room in the house as it's more convenient.

I was here for the Yoga experience where I had Linda and Camila as yoga teachers. These ladies are experienced and very professional - taking time to explain and adjust you where necessary.

I had the luck to spend an afternoon with papi Giuseppe where he took me to the orchards to pick fruit, wash my face with red wine (fantastic and funny), moisturise with olive oil and visit the family farm animals.

If you have the chance, take the pasta class with mama Maria and the Reiki with a Linda. It made my time here unforgettable.

"A lovely getaway in a beautiful setting."

Despite there being a large group of students staying on the farm when I arrived, the owners still made me feel so welcome and included me in all of the activities. Even though they were very busy, they always had time to answer my questions and make my stay very accommodating. My bedroom was just beautiful and the delicious homemade meals made it feel like a home away from home.

"Wonderful short yoga retreat"

The agriturismo is located in an absolutely part of Lazio, and Maria's food was amazing! Also, Linda and her fellow yogis taught many different types of yoga, so the experience from day to day varied.

"Serene & spiritual getaway in the heart of Italy <3"

First of all, the location is absolutely stunning (situated in the foothills of the Apennine Mountain)! Second, the staff & fellow travelers are exceptionally warm, accommodating, and make you feel like family! Communal meals and story telling make you feel right at home. The activities are also endless - yoga classes, hiking in the surrounding area, exploring the town of Sora, horse back riding, visiting the local cheese shepherd.... the list goes on!!!
