About this trip


Join Laina Florio & Marcie Costello for 7 nights in the beautiful countryside of Umbria, Italy at Locanda del Gallo, a luxury private villa which sits atop the magnificent hills of unspoiled Italian landscape. Imaging 29 acres of lush beauty, making this the ideal place to retreat, discover, and revitalize your spirit. Enjoy numerous planned excursions to immerse yourself in the magic of Italy, along with soul coaching workshops, yoga, meditation and so much more! Designed as a holistic experience for up to 15 guests, the carefully designed schedule has been created to focus on your wellbeing and how to best create a more balanced lifestyle with small steps that make a significant difference.



Accommodations

Simple, luxurious and elegant - the charming rooms at the Locanda have exquisite reclaimed doors and carved hardwood furniture from Bali and Indonesia, soft cotton bedding, plush comforters and an at-home feeling.  


Locanda del Gallo commands beautiful views over its 28 hectares (69 acres) of gardens, terraced lawns and woodlands. Stroll at your leisure through the olive grove, inhale the scent of roses and herbs, or simply curl up with a book under the shade of an old elm tree. The gardens hold many hidden gems and secret corners for you to discover. Walls of stone aged by the centuries. Gardens of manicured lawns and olive trees. The scent of lavender and rosemary filling the air. A swimming pool kissed by sunlight. Numerous paths running through woods, down to the stream in the valley below. Aperitifs sipped on a verandah watching the setting sun. Candle-lit dinners, and calm nights under a star filled sky. All around, just beyond the hills stand Umbria’s many cities of art, abundant in their treasures, their elegant shops and traditions. Enjoy the ecological chlorine-free swimming pool, encircled by comfortable sun loungers and Jacuzzi. 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. Sip a tisane (tea), read a book, or revive yourself with a massage. All rooms have large windows that open up to stunning views of the Umbrian hillside. 

Food

Three delicious Italian inspired meals a day - including vegetables, produce and herbs from the garden. Traditional Italian food served with a healthy, modern twist. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated.  Feel free to order delicious wine from Locanda’s winery! 

Workshops, Yoga & Meditation

Yoga & Meditation: Marcie will lead the morning yoga classes. Marcie helps students deepen their practice through specific alignment and breath-work. Marcie has trained in and teaches Hatha with Iyengar influence, Vinyasa, Restorative/Yin, SUP and Aerial yoga. She strives to embrace the inner connection of body, mind and breath through movement and safe alignment. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned yogi, you’ll feel supported and challenged with different levels of modifications in each class. 


Workshops: Laina will be leading her “Awaken Your Inner Light” Program designed to support you in living a more inspired, purpose driven life. We will explore what Soul Consciousness means and how you can begin living from this place, rather than getting lost within the constructs of the limited mind. You will gain more clarity on your purpose, and release limiting beliefs and situations that are holding you back from living your life in a more inspired, purposeful and joyful way. Laina holds a Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology and Consciousness, Health & Healing and has been coaching clients, retreats and workshops for over 10 years. You will be supported and guided in a safe, nurturing space. 


In between classes, you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing, going on excursions, and enjoying the beauty of Locanda Del Gallo.

I had a wonderful time, and came away with so much. Would recommend this to all!!
By Cindy Y for Becoming Retreat-Soul Coaching + Yoga “Navigating Through Transition” on Sep 12, 2023
The purpose of the retreat was “Becoming” I think that everyone would agree we were and continue to be transformed. Laina and her colleague, Stacey who provided Yoga classes took us from being strangers to supporters to champions of each others evolutions. It takes a skilled and knowledgeable leader to guide us through our unique journey while helping us to bond with members of the group. I am and will always be grateful to Laina and Stacey, as well as grateful for the love and support I received from my fellow members of the retreat.

This trip was a life-changing experience for me. Yandara’s accommodations were beautiful; delicious food, awesome beaches. Laina’s guidance was invaluable; she fostered an amazing environment for self reflection and growth. We started off as 15 strangers and left with 15 strong friendships. I hope I get to return one day.🙏❤️

My experience with Laina and Marcie on the Italian Immersion Retreat at Locanda del Gallo was an absolute dream come true! The property is 28 acres of pure bliss, delicious three-courses meals served for lunch and dinner. The staff treats you like family! On the retreat I had the pleasure of meeting amazing Goddesses and the connections I made will be cherished for a lifetime! Laina has a gift of holding space for everyone on the retreat and helping each person focus on their areas they need to work through. She does this through her meditations, workshops and just being her beautiful self! Marcie has a gift of making Yoga doable for all, her classes are gentle, but powerful! It was a true treat starting the morning off with Yoga in a gorgeous room that Louise Hay once attended herself! This retreat and this specific location was my HAPPY place, if you are at a place in your life where you need to 🍝🙏🏼❤️ then this is magical place to do it! Thank you all for making this experience extremely memorable, especially Laina for making it all possible!
