See what our guests are saying…
“Our yoga retreat in Orvieto was truly unforgettable. This charming Italian town stole my heart with its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality. Our retreat days were a perfect blend of excellent yoga practices led by Chiara and Suzy, exploration, and indulgence. We practised yoga overlooking the Umbrian Hills with its breathtaking sunrises and sunsets! Wandering through the narrow streets and getting lost often was the best part of discovering the towns hidden gems, indulging in delicious local cuisine, amazing coffee and my body’s weight in gelato! Some of the highlights of the retreat included a tour of the Mayors office, the magnificent Duomo and tour led by Chiaras father exploring underground caves, the Well and travelling to a vineyard where we practiced yoga in another spectacular setting. The people of Orvieto were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our retreat a truly unforgettable yoga holiday as I have described it to many.
Thank you Suzy and Chiara Ben Fatto!!!!!”

Two most frequently asked questions are:
How do I get there?
Airfare and airport transfer are not included in our price, however we are happy to advise you. Rome Fiumicino is the closest airport, and there is a train station right inside it, from which you can travel to Oriveto. We can pick you up from the train station in Orvieto, and provide further details on how to travel by train. We also partner with a local driver who has reasonable airport transfer packages, if private transport is preferred. Rental care is of course an option, we can advise you on that as well if you are interested.
Do you have single travelers on your retreats?
Yes! We find about half our guests come in pairs or groups, and half come as singles… and the group tends to be very inclusive and eager to connect with one another!
