Picture yourself in a classic Tuscan Villa, waking up amidst rolling wheath fields, woods, with eagles gliding above, deers and boars grazing in the distance. Enjoy your yoga and your organic meals, in the rural silence, with only birds chirping in the trees. May sound a bit cheesy, but, sorry, this is the place where we are. Enjoy your morning meditation as the sun goes up, your yoga session by the swimming pool, and let us take care of everythingelse. Healthy breakfasts, light, tasty veggie meals, combining the best, seasonal Mediterranean ingredients, mostly from the farmers closer to us. Later on, you might join one of the activities that we list below, spanning from walks, to sightseeing, to cultural trips, and wine tasting or cooking experiences.
YOGA CLASS
We propose two yoga classes, in the morning before breakfast, and in the afternoon. The class starts with the sun salutation, Surya-Namaskara, and then follows traditional asanas and pranayama, postures and controlled breathing. The practice is held outdoors, on the lawn by the villa, or in particular locations in the surrounding Tuscan countryside, that we picked-up carefully for their different atmospheres.
THE VILLA
The charming Tuscan country house is a 400 years old villa, with a private swimming pool, surrounded by with a 2 acres lawn. It’s located in the very heart of Tuscany, between San Gimignano and Volterra, at about the same distance from Florence, Siena, and Pisa. The villa, completely renovated, offers 5 luxury bedrooms with big bathroom, living rooms, fully equipped kitchens, a traditional porch with a large wooden table.
ACTIVITIES:
We propose three types of activities, related to the yoga practice, to the discovery of the Tuscan nature and culture, and to its cuisine.
- Our geologist, ”Nello” leads walks in some locations, especially connected with the water, wind, earth, and fire.
