Yoga with a View

Nestled within woodlands and olive groves, our yoga space at Villa Tramonte is the ideal place to salute the Tuscan sun. Our morning practices will enliven your senses for the day’s adventures—and ground and connect you with the land, yourself, and each other.

Evening practices will offer restorative postures and time for reflection. Breath and movement will calm your mind and body for sweet slumber. Meditation, mantra, and writing practices will also be woven throughout the retreat.

All yoga classes are absolutely optional and will accommodate varying levels of experience. We want you to honor what you need most during your retreat.

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

All meals are vegetarian and are prepared by a local cook who delights in serving the region’s specialities. You’ll indulge in local cheeses, pasta, breads, olive oils, honeys, and other delights. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are served every morning. Local Tuscan wine is also served with each dinner.
