A Day in the Life on our Italian Summer Retreat
Imagine yourself waking up in an 18th century restored palazzo that sits on top of a quaint village tucked away in the lush region of Abruzzo.
The village is quiet and serene, and the only sound you hear in the morning is the bell tower chiming her morning songs.
After waking, stroll outside to stretch and move your body overlooking the rolling green hills in our daily yoga classes. The classes are open to any level of yoga experience and are crafted around creating awareness and spaciousness in the body and mind.
Après yoga, awaken your taste buds with a traditional Italian breakfast spread complete with an array of cheese, meats, local fruits and plenty of café.
Then it’s time to hit the road for the first excursion in the Abruzzo Region to a family-owned olive grove. We will spend a leisurely time here wandering the property, tasting an array of olive oils, tapenades, olives, touring the production of olive oils and lounging over a delicious lunch complete with biscotti and homemade vino.
Later in the afternoon, we will head back to the Palazzo for a siesta and prepare for one of our cooking classes.
The class is led by a local chef who will serenade you with laughter and singing, which infuses the food with love and dolce vita style. We will dine on our creation al fresco as we watch the sunset from the patio.
Let your belly digest and your mind process the beauty of the day. Spend the evening hours relaxing and lounging under the Italian sky. Don’t be surprised if you see shooting stars dance through the sky.
Finally, it’s time to drift off to sleep and dream sweet dreams. Rest and rejuvenate before the next excursions including a visit to the bell foundry that makes the bells for the Vatican.
A day spent visiting islands tucked away on the Adriatic Sea. Float in the sea, sunbathe and soak in the Italian sun.

An afternoon dedicated to a rare dining experience on a traditional trabacco.
After more cooking classes and plenty of time to restore your body and mind, it will be time to return back to Rome. Perhaps you would like to explore the city while you are here?
We will meet for dinner that eve and relish in the sweetness of the week.
