Accommodation
The Sicilian Farmhouse
Full of extraordinary charm and natural beauty, the Sicilian farmhouse offers the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and allow both body and soul to regenerate. Guests will enjoy homemade Sicilian cuisine, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from the property or nearby local farms. In Sicily, food is not only a symbol of authenticity but also an experience in itself.
The 12 charming and comfortable air-conditioned rooms feature private patios, majestic garden views, and inviting balconies. Each room includes a private entrance, shared common area, and kitchenette, with both private and shared room options available.
The entire property will be exclusively reserved, offering access to an open-air yoga shala overlooking the ocean and an outdoor courtyard dining area for shared meals. Sunset views are nothing short of breathtaking—capturing the essence of a quintessential Sicilian experience.
Program
Yoga will be practiced twice daily, with a creative Vinyasa flow in the morning and a slower practice in the evenings. Journals will be provided for reflection, and circles will offer space for discussion and connection, though all classes and activities are optional—each experience is yours to shape. Multiple excursions can be added to the package, including sunset horseback riding on the beach, day trips to other cities and villages in Sicily, vineyard wine tours, and much more.
Experience the beauty of Sicily with a half day boat tour to the Egadi Islands, where crystal-clear waters and breathtaking beaches await. Dive deeper into Italian culture with a hands-on pasta-making class, where you’ll learn the art of crafting authentic Sicilian dishes. Each day, immerse yourself in the rhythms of the land with farm-to-table meals prepared with the freshest ingredients from the property. This retreat is the chance to deepen your practice, explore new cultural experiences, and recharge in a serene and inspiring environment.
Whether you’re new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, you are welcome and we would love to have you join us for this once in a lifetime experience.
