  With stunning
views and a spiritual calm that
permeates the home and grounds,
Locanda del Gallo, a 12th Century
restored stone home, tucked into the
magnificent hills in the peace and
quiet of Umbria's unspoiled Italian
countryside is the ideal place for a
retreat. Bask in the spectacular
sunsets of the Tiberina Valley and
enjoy delicious healthy organic
food, an intriguing mix of Sri
Lankan and Italian cuisine, rich in
genuine flavors: cold-pressed olive
oil, aromatic herbs and vegetables
straight from the gardens.
A
retreat offers us the opportunity to
immerse ourselves in yoga and
meditation. Without the distractions
and stresses of our everyday lives,
this week will leave you with a
deeper sense of yourself and
will transform you physically and
spiritually.
Each day will include a
morning meditation, a dynamic
flow/vinyasa class, journaling and
discussion. Some mornings will also
offer a short breathtaking hike and
some afternoons will offer a
restorative yoga class with
Pranayama (breath work) as well.
Just soaking up the postcard-perfect
views of the Tiberina Valley is
guaranteed to stir the soul. Give
yourself the gift of this
magnificent retreat. You will
cherish the memories for a lifetime!
Some afternoons will be open to
explore or relax as you choose.
Visit nearby hill towns, hike
Locanda's exquisite land, swim in
the natural waterfall, get a massage
or take a dip in the stunning
infinity pool (chlorine-free!), a
mirage on the side of the hill. For
the shopper in you, local goodies to
savor include rich olive oil, sweet
balsamic vinegar, home cured olives,
organic jams, chocolates, and wine.
Local artisan studios feature
cashmere weaving, and ceramics
decorated with non-toxic paints.

baths and walk-in, glass-doored
showers. All rooms have large
windows that open up to stunning
views of the Umbrian hillside.

meals a day, and yoga/meditation/pranayama/journaling
instruction.
Transportation and
excursions are separate.
We recommend bringing pocket money
for optional shopping, bodywork, and
extra tips for staff if you like.
It's also a great idea to add
a few days at the end of the retreat
to explore a bit of Italy outside of
Umbria. Perhaps a few days in Rome
before flying home would be just the
thing!
