May 19 - 25, 2024 in Puglia

I’ve had my eyes on La Rosa dei 4 Venti for years, and am thrilled to announce my first retreat in Italy! La Rosa is an ancient Masseria (farmhouse) dating from the year 1689 renovated with the aim of bringing it back to its timeless beauty. The property is located in the heart of the Itria Valley, about 10km from Martina Franca, 450 meters above sea level and midway between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. The retreat is totally immersed in the quiet countryside of the Murgese, a gently undulating area of alternating troughs and hills, hillocks and karst lariat, between oak forests and Mediterranean scrub, orchards, olive groves and vineyards.

We’ll practice yoga once or twice daily (depending on other activities), enjoy healthy Pescatarian meals (vegetarian and vegan accommodated), relax on the beautiful property, and explore what Puglia has to offer. One of our full day excursions will be visiting 3 famous villages: Locorotondo, Polignano a Mare on the cliff, and Ostuni, the white town. We’ll also stop at the Adriatic seaside for a swim. On another day, we’ll visit Lecce "the Florence of the South," then the wonderful Bauxite caves, then to Otranto (one of the most famous towns in Salento).

RATES Include 6 nights accommodation, brunch and dinner daily, yoga, 2 full day excursions mentioned above, use of the entire property (there’s a pool AND a private forest). Extras include ground transportation on arrival and departure (can be arranged - see below), other optional excursions, massages, wine etc.

Double Occupancy €1990 per person

Single Occupancy €2890

GETTING THERE Ground transportation is available 24 hours to/from any destination required. The main airports/train stations are Bari (1h30min) and Brindisi (1hr).

I hope you can make it! xo Kate
