Holistic retreats

The masseria where you can organize your yoga and holistic retreat in Salento

You rent the whole masseria for your group: a vaulted hall in Lecce stone where up to 35 people can practice, the garden, 16 beds and the kitchen. One group at a time, in the Greek heart of Salento.

For teachers and organizers

A whole masseria, just for your group

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.

Suited to every kind of retreat

How it works

Two ways to rent: just the spaces or all-inclusive

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.

Looking instead for a corporate retreat or team building? We have a dedicated page.

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.

Up to 35 people practising in the vaulted hall. For residential retreats, up to 16 sleep on site across the 6 units.

How many days does a retreat last?

It’s up to you: we host both weekends and multi-day retreats. Tell us the dates you have in mind and we’ll find the right fit.

Can we handle meals ourselves or bring a cook?

Yes. There’s a kitchen for the group: cook on your own, bring your own chef, or let us arrange catering with local produce. Vegetarian, vegan or tailored menus on request.

Is the hall equipped for practice?

The vaulted hall (55 m²) is a quiet, cool space ready for yoga, meditation and group work. Mats, equipment and a sound system can be arranged on request.

How far are the sea and airports?

The sea and Otranto are about 20 minutes away, Lecce 25. Brindisi airport is about an hour, Bari about two hours.

When is the best time to hold a retreat in Salento?

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) are ideal: mild weather, long days, few crowds and lower prices. Summer is beautiful but hot; the vaulted hall stays cool even in July.

Can we hold a silent or meditation retreat?

Yes. The exclusive use and the quiet of the countryside make the masseria ideal for meditation, mindfulness and silent retreats: one group at a time, with no outside interference.

Do you host detox or fasting retreats?

The masseria is an ideal setting for detox, fasting and wellness retreats. There’s a kitchen for tailored menus, or we can arrange catering with local produce: you bring the programme.
