Accomodation

The property is nestled in the foothills of the Valle d’Itria, near the charming medieval town of Cisternino. It is a private space with its own extensive grounds and swimming pool, blending ancient charm with modern conveniences. The property features a charming conical-shaped ‘trullo’ and connected ‘lamia’. The house itself is divided into four apartments, three of which—Melograno (pomegranate), Mandarino (mandarin), and Limone (lemon)—are available to guests. Each apartment has its own bathroom, kitchen, and living space.

The private apartments allow friends to share a space together by booking an entire apartment. Double rooms are available for couples or single occupancy, while twin rooms will always be shared with another person. Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Enjoy spectacular views and breathtaking sunsets from the rooftop terrace, or cool off in the large, kidney-shaped pool. The extensive grounds are a delight to explore, featuring ancient olive trees, abundant fig trees, and blooming white-blossoming almond trees amidst charming drystone walls and fields of wildflowers. It’s the perfect place to find your voice and sing with joy.

Our Yoga Retreats are for all levels of yogis. After seeing where each guest is in their yoga practice and level, the classes can be given on what best suits the group.
All classes are voluntary and there is always plenty of activities (or total relaxation) that can be enjoyed in place of one of the yoga classes.
This is YOUR WEEK so you're encouraged to take the time you need, go at your own speed, and try and let go - whether that means diving in deep into the morning and evening classes for the week, or maybe it means needing to rest one day instead.
Many of our guests come alone and we match up based on guest profile which has always worked out really well. All the rooms are spacious with separate beds. Plus most guests find that they are mainly only in the rooms to sleep as most tend to relax in the common areas (salons, terraces, pool, etc) when we're not in class, on daytrips, or having meals. It's up to you if you prefer the single room, but it's not required if signing up alone as we will pair you with another guest.
