Join us from 28th May – 4th June 2022 on a week-long yoga retreat with Bristol Maryott & Carrie Cooper in Central Italy – more than 4 rooms available
An enjoyable and relaxing YOGA RETREAT in the rolling hills of Le Marche, Italy!
La Dolce Vita is not just about delicious food and gorgeous surroundings (although we’ll have those on this retreat!), it’s also about looking inwards and creating meaning in your life.
We’ll also be enjoying our special surroundings and taking advantage of all of Italy’s gifts. We’ll be in the beautiful grounds of Hotel Leone, taking in the gorgeous views from their terraces, swimming in the pool and enjoying the impeccable service of this boutique hotel. The charming and picturesque restaurant offers mouthwatering food featuring local produce. We will also have the opportunity to visit a local vineyard and olive oil producer or take cooking classes.

We will do our very best to make sure nobody has to wait for too long but please be aware we will be picking up other members of the group whose arrival times may not necessary coincide perfectly with your own and we ask for your patience.
If you are arriving at a time that really doesn’t tie in with the group or arriving a day or so earlier we can arrange for a taxi to pick you up. The cost of a taxi is in the region of €150. If there is anybody else arriving doing the same we will arrange it so that you can share the transport costs.
Similarly for departure, for retreats the rooms are to be vacated by 10:00 on the morning of departure. Departure time will be set based on the majority of the group. Again we will do our very best to accommodate everyone.
