Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Italy

A calm and personal retreat in Italy, away from mass tourism. This is not a standard yoga retreat. You stay in a beautiful, peaceful place overlooking Lake Bolsena, surrounded by nature and the rhythm of real Italy.

At the same time, you experience the deeper energy of this region — a place shaped by the ancient Etruscans, where nature, silence, and history come together. You stay in a beautiful, peaceful location overlooking Lake Bolsena, surrounded by nature and the rhythm of authentic Italian life. Small group, personal attention, and space to truly reconnect. This is not a budget or crowded retreat. It is a personal and carefully curated experience.

You will stay in a carefully selected luxury agriturismo near Lake Bolsena, a place where everything invites you to slow down and reconnect.

Surrounded by nature, the property offers a large garden, a beautiful swimming pool, and multiple quiet spots to relax, reflect, or simply do nothing at all.

Think long afternoons under the trees, soft light at sunset, and the silence that allows you to truly unwind.

This is not a hotel or a crowded retreat center.

It is an authentic Italian home, intimate and full of atmosphere, where every detail contributes to a sense of calm and quality.

During the week, we also spend time in our private olive grove overlooking the lake, a special place where many of the sessions, moments of reflection, and shared experiences take place.

With a small group (max. 6 participants), there is space for personal attention, depth, and real connection — with yourself, the surroundings, and the others.

Program

Luxury yoga and meditation retreat in Bolsena, Italy. Stay in luxury accommodation with a pool on Lake Bolsena.

Treat yourself to this retreat in Bolsena, Italy, in the heart of the Quattro Fratelli olive grove. A combination of rest, movement, and conscious living in a unique location on Lake Bolsena.

Small-scale, personal, and with attention to comfort and space. Not a massive setting, but a place where you can truly settle in.

Yoga and meditation retreat in Bolsena, Italy

A place that seems to lend itself to this

The olive grove feels as if it was made for this yoga retreat in Italy. Here, peace arises effortlessly. In the early morning, you can sit on the small terrace overlooking Lake Bolsena. The day is still, and the water lies almost flat. There is a special energy in the lake, a calm that is not empty but full, as if it invites you to not have to do anything for a moment.

A notebook lies beside you. You write, you breathe, and you focus on a new, beautiful day. Every morning, you write down ten things you are grateful for. This simple rhythm is carried into this yoga and meditation retreat in Bolsena.

Yoga and meditation in Italy with personal attention

During this luxury yoga retreat in Italy, Christina guides you daily in:

  • Yoga
  • Meditation
  • Qi Gong
  • Breathwork
  • Meditation

Her approach is holistic, warm, and grounded. No airy-fairy approach, but attention to the body, energy, and inner balance.

In addition to the yoga and meditation sessions, the sessions on the law of attraction and the law of assumption are personally guided. You work in a practical and down-to-earth way with setting intention, conscious thinking, daily gratitude, and living from assumption instead of doubt. Not as a quick promise of manifesting, but as a way to live life more calmly and clearly.

The morning ritual of writing, gratitude, and focusing on a new, beautiful day forms a natural basis for this.

Creative deepening with Bruno

Creativity is part of this retreat. During a painting workshop with Bruno, the focus is not on technique, but on expression and freedom. Under Bruno's guidance, you discover how relaxation and creativity come together. It is a moment of playing, letting go, and surprising yourself. It is not the result that counts, but the process.

Luxury, nature, and swimming pool

After a morning of yoga in the olive grove, there is time to relax by the pool. The water, the sun, and the view provide physical rest and mental space. Additionally, Lake Bolsena invites you to go for a walk or take a refreshing dip in one of the cleanest lakes in Europe. Water, earth, and light amplify the energy of this place.

For whom

This yoga and meditation retreat in Italy, Bolsena

Is for you if you:

  • long for peace without withdrawing from life
  • want space to recharge
  • seek depth in a warm, safe setting
  • want to experience a luxury yoga retreat in Italy with a pool
  • not only want to see Italy, but truly want to experience it

During this yoga and meditation retreat in Italy, Bolsena, you follow a gentle daily rhythm, with space for flexibility and connection within the group. Each morning, you receive a short reflection or inspiration through the shared app, offering a soft focus for the day connected to gratitude and conscious living, and you capture your insights in your personal journal.

After breakfast, you gather for yoga and Qi Gong in the olive grove, where movement, breath, and awareness come together in the open air overlooking Lake Bolsena. In the late afternoon or early evening, you come together for a guided meditation, as the light softens and the day slows down, creating space for stillness and integration.

During the week, Mariët offers three in-depth sessions on the Law of Assumption and conscious creation, working in a practical way with intention, beliefs, and daily focus, supported by the energy of the ancient Etruscan culture rooted in this region. You visit special Etruscan sites in the area, where nature and history meet, experienced in a calm and mindful way with attention to presence and breath. One of the most refreshing moments of the week is the aqua trekking experience to a hidden waterfall, a walk through clear mountain water that energizes and clears the mind.

Creativity is also part of the experience through a painting masterclass. Throughout the week, you enjoy fresh, plant-based meals prepared with care, as well as shared dinners in beautiful local restaurants around Bolsena. In between activities, there is time to relax by the pool, walk along the lake, or simply enjoy the peace, space, and views.

Included excursions

  • Guided visits to special Etruscan places where nature and history meet
  • Aqua trekking to a hidden waterfall in the mountains
