Holistic retreats

Our masseria, the sanctuary of your holistic retreat in Salento

You rent the entire masseria for your group: a hall with Lecce-stone vaults hosting up to 35 practitioners, the garden, 16 sleeping places and the kitchen. One group at a time, in the heart of the Grecìa Salentina.

For teachers and organizers

The masseria will embrace your group's energy, in complete exclusivity

A retreat needs just a few things, but the right ones: a space to practice sheltered from the weather, quiet, beds on site and a kitchen. Here you have them all in one place, with no other guests around.

Not just yoga

Suited to every kind of retreat

New: the masseria's own practices are taking shape, breathwork with Davide and reiki with astrology readings with Valentina.

Yoga, meditation, reiki, breathwork, women's circles or well-being programs: the place stays the same: intimate, quiet, all yours. Only what you bring into it changes.

The masseria's own practices

Two facilitators already on site, for your retreat

Beyond the spaces, the masseria has two practices of its own. Retreat organisers can offer them to participants as one-to-one sessions or as a group moment, without looking for professionals elsewhere. And for dates open to everyone there are the circles and energy weekends.

01

The Breath

One-to-one rebirthing sessions, breathing circles and functional breathing with Davide, breath coach and facilitator we work with. For retreats, an evening breathing circle for your participants.

Discover the Breath →
02

The Energy

Reiki sessions, astrology readings and integrated energy consultations with Valentina, fourth-level Reiki Master and astrology consultant we work with.

03

For organisers

One-to-one sessions for participants in the programme's breaks, or an evening breath or reiki circle: we build it together with your schedule.

How it works

Choose your formula: spaces only or all-inclusive package

Just the spaces

You rent the masseria in exclusive use (hall, garden, accommodation) and manage everything yourself: schedule, meals, program. Total freedom.

Spaces + services

Add whatever you need: catering with local produce, transfers, an evening of pizzica or a guided tour. You focus on the practice, we take care of the rest.

Clear prices: the spaces-only formula, with the whole masseria for your exclusive use and the 16 sleeping places included, starts from about 450 € a day for retreats of at least 4 nights, depending on season and length. Split between 12 participants, under 40 € per person per night with hall and garden. Short weekends follow the whole-masseria rate, 500 to 800 € a day.

A typical day

Slow living at the masseria

Practice at sunrise in the garden; a slow breakfast outdoors; a morning of work and a free afternoon: the sea is twenty minutes away, the Greek villages of Grecìa Salentina just a few steps further. A second practice in the sunset light, then dinner together under the stars.
