Five out of five stars, no questions. From the moment the retreat started it was clear we were in good hands with Sadie. Everything was extremely well-organized without being overly rigid. Every day we had the option to start the morning with yoga, and from there we had our cooking classes, or an excursion, a hike, some downtime - every day was a little different but all of them were rewarding and relaxing. The food and wine were beyond compare - Alice and Aiko are incredible chefs, and Danilo's wine pairings were always spot on. It was an effortless, delicious, rewarding, rejuvenating trip top to bottom.

This spectacular retreat included yoga, yes, but was full of so many more wonderful experiences. Designed to offer us downtime to enjoy our gorgeous castle and grounds, we sampled daily of the Italian lifestyle at its best: meals prepared by Alice that surpassed any vacation food experience I’ve had, wandering through vineyards and nearby small towns to better understand what life is like there, daily apperitivo fostering wonderful connection time with others, approachable cooking classes that have inspired many of us to continue it at home and share our creations in our WhatsApp group. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend the retreats hosted by Sadie, Alice, and crew. The location in Asti took my breath away and was a blooming, private estate. The food was incredible and Alice/Aiko/Danilo were kind enough to give us some of the recipes to make at home. We had delicious wine every day, and did not have to worry or manage any aspect of the trip. It was very active, with the yoga we expected and two long hikes to nearby towns and vineyards. Everyone was up for the challenge and fueled by our multi-course meals. I learned about wine and cooking also; “methodo-Classico” bubbles production, how thin a pasta sheet should be rolled, and that I am currently cooking my risotto for way too long. Still dreaming about life at the winery - thanks team!

This yoga and wine retreat in Italy was an incredible experience. The yoga classes were rejuvenating, the setting was beautiful, and the wine and local culture made it truly special. A highlight was the amazing chef, whose delicious, fresh meals elevated every day of the retreat. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and I left feeling relaxed, inspired, and grateful. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for the perfect blend of wellness, connection, and Italian hospitality.

This was my second Italy retreat with Sadie and Alice, and it definitely did not disappoint. It’s the perfect balance of movement and indulgence, in the most spectacular setting. I met so many lovely people on this trip and truly enjoyed unplugging and enjoying Italy once again!
