Yoga Retreat to Tuscany Italy -- SOLD OUT
Saturday, August 30 - Saturday, September 6, 2025
Join Esther Hogan and Virginia Whitted for a full week in splendor, breath and movement as we retreat to the magnificent rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy! We have secured a rustic and beautifully restored villa as our location, surrounded by lavender fields, olive groves and the glory of nature as far as the eye can see.
Locanda Cugnanello is set in a remote, private location, but offers many modern conveniences for your comfort and relaxation. All bedrooms and suites have been carefully arranged and include a private en-suite bathroom. There is a gorgeous swimming pool surrounded by lavish greenery, as well as a fire pit to enjoy evenings outdoors. The villa has a dedicated gym facility as well as on-site laundry.
Our days on retreat will include a morning and evening yoga practice in a dedicated, private yoga room or outdoor poolside. Included are breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by our expert Italian chef with wine served at every dinner and unlimited access to filtered water, tea and Italian coffees.
Opportunities to relax abound in the large, outdoor pool area, quieter sitting areas located in the gardens surrounding the villa or in the intimate, indoor spaces. Our package also includes two distinct excursions to local medieval towns, and transportation to and from the airport in Florence.
We hope to provide you with an experience like no other, combining the magic of this special place with the transforming power of yoga.
