Escape to Sicily: An 8-Day Yoga & Wellness Retreat in Ortigia OCTOBER 28 - November 4

Are you ready for an unforgettable Sicilian adventure?

Join Marzia and Gianna for eight inspiring days on the enchanting island of Ortigia, the historic heart of Syracuse, Sicily. Known as the Città Vecchia (Old City), Ortigia is a charming, walkable island where ancient history meets breathtaking beauty. Wander through picturesque streets lined with stunning Baroque architecture, swim in crystal-clear waters, and savor some of Sicily’s most celebrated cuisine.

Your journey begins in Catania, where you’ll be welcomed and transferred to Syracuse. From there, we’ll take a scenic boat ride to our home for the week: the luxurious Minareto. Perched along the coast with spectacular sea views, Minareto is renowned for its private sandy beach, elegant accommodations, luxurious hot tubs overlooking the water, and exceptional commitment to hospitality and well-being.

This retreat is an invitation to slow down and fully embrace la dolce vita. Each day will include revitalizing yoga practices, time to relax on the beach, opportunities to explore the rich culture and history of Ortigia, and unforgettable meals celebrating the flavors and traditions of Sicily. Enjoy local wines, fresh seafood, artisanal pastries, and authentic Sicilian specialties while surrounded by the beauty of the Mediterranean.

This fall, give yourself the gift of restoration, connection, and adventure. Come practice yoga, soak up the Sicilian sunshine, indulge in extraordinary food and wine, and experience the magic of Ortigia with us.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Sicily. 🌿☀️🍷🇮🇹
