Wellness Retreat Week - May 18th - 22nd Inclusive

Restore in Umbria!

We are so excited to tell you about our first ever Wellness Retreat week, well its 4 nights!! Monday May 18th to Friday May 22nd inclusive. We are calling it “Restore in Umbria” because we absolutely believe you will RESTORE YOURSELF. We have four amazingly RARE Wellness coaches from the UK joining us, actually one lives half the year in Italy down the road from our Castle! Thats right we will have our very own Castle for the Retreat - exclusively to us!

We only have x16 beds!! across x8 suites in the Castle - so this is truly Exclusive. You may want to come alone and meet some gorgeous new friends or you may want to go with a friend/friends?

We plan to educate you all about the art of Living well through Lifestyle choices using an Ayurvedic specialist and Cancer Research Doctor - Dr Sam Watts. Anandi also known as The Sleep Guru will teach us all about Sleep and why it is fundamental to our lives, she will give everyone on the retreat a sleep consultation and will work through any sleep issues you may have. Anandi is also a Breathing Coach and will teach us all how to Breath properly, day to day and then specifically to relax us. Laura, founder of Be Modern Meditation will introduce us to new ways to meditate - not just in a silent candlelit room but by the Pool, in the Hamman, around the breakfast table, also whilst walking!

Finally we cannot go to such a private location on top of the Umbrian Hills and not immerse ourselves in the nature around us - to do this properly The Natural Navigator Tris Gooley, award winning Author will take us on a unforgettable Hike to celebrate the Natural world around us plus give us some exercise after all the amazing Italian Food!

Don’t worry, there will be plenty of downtime around the Pool too, time for reading, sleeping and the all important Eating! We are bringing with us our in-house Wellness Chef Susannah to cook delicious food, and one night we have hired a local Nonna to come into the cucina and teach us how to make Pasta! We will also be sampling lots of local Umbrian wine and a particularly special Winemaker will visit the Castle one night to taste Rare wine in the Castle private Cellars.

The Retreat costs £2500 per Suite for single occupancy. This is excluding Flights and Transfers and Alcohol but including all Wellness Coaching and Consultations plus ALL Food and non alcoholic drinks.

For dual occupancy of the Suites, we can offer a price of £1750.
