“My idea of heaven still is to drive the gravel farm roads of Umbria and Tuscany, very pleasantly lost.”
― Frances Mayes
Nestled in and looking over the rolling green hills of Umbria is Locanda del Gallo - a boutique country house immersed in nature and solitude ... A place for relaxation, reflection, connection, and the perfect for which to set off on our adventures. Illuminated Life Projects and Yoga Adventures are so excited and grateful to host a yoga and meditation retreat in this picturesque and magical part of the world.
Living on the ancient border between Perugia and Gubbio, the 12th century Locanda del Gallo is luxuriously equipped with all the things that slow down time and allow us some space to breathe and properly get away from the hustle and bustle of our modern lives; a wellness and massage center, jacuzzi spa, salt water pool, yoga studio, spacious and comfortable rooms, delicious organic cuisine and personal chef, all surrounded by panoramic Umbrian beauty.
"Prominently situated on a ridge which stretches into the centre of the valley, The Locanda del Gallo commands fine views over its 28 hectares of gardens, terraced lawns and woodland. Stroll at leisure through the olive grove, inhale the scent of roses and herbs, or simply curl up with a book under the shade of the old elm tree. The gardens hold many hidden gems and secret corners for you to discover. In one, an ecological chlorine-free swimming pool, encircled by comfortable sun loungers and close by the sybaritic delight of an outdoor Jacuzzi whirlpool spa.
Or descend a few steps and enter the small Moorish style spa, let your tensions slip away in the Turkish bath and then immerse yourself in a cloud of cool, refreshing, mint scented water, before heading for the peace of the salon overlooking the verdant landscape to sip a tisane, or read a book, or revive yourself under the hands of our masseuse."
