Join Elizabeth and Bronwyn for another joyful Yogic experience, this time in historic southern Italy.
Our retreat will take place in the Palazzo Bacile di Castiglione, a 16th century villa of noble origins with secluded gardens and hidden corners. It will delight you at every turn. The rooms are modern, comfortable and elegantly refurbished with new bathrooms. Enjoy the large swimming pool next to the dove tower under a centuries old pine tree. Experience the preserved grandeur and charm of this palazzo which is a testament to the timeless elegance and Italy’s rich culture.
The Palazzo is located in a small and peaceful village on the southern tip of the Italian peninsula, in the Salento region of Puglia. Salento is known as the land of sun, wind and sea. You will have the opportunity to explore the idyllic countryside, bask on the nearby Adriatic beaches, and wander through the charming cobblestone streets of historic villages. The area abounds with hidden gems, waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
