What an incredible week we had in Puglia! 🇮🇹❤️ Our very own 17th century palazzo, daily pilates and yoga, the yummiest authentic Italian dishes cooked for us every night, and more custard pastries than we could eat!
Other highlights of this magical week exploring the “heel of the boot” include:
✨ Guided day trips to Lecce, Otranto, Ostuni, and Alberobello
✨ Winery tour, tasting, and dinner at the palazzo’s winery, the 5th oldest family run business in the world! It’s been going for 26 generations, since 1065!
✨ A ceramics class with the villa’s owner, an incredibly talented ceramicist named Lucia
✨ Cooking class to test our pasta making skills (mine were not good)
✨ Sound bath and Nervous System Reset workshops
✨ A free day in Santa Maria di Leuca, the very bottom of the heel where the Adriatic and Ionian Seas meet
✨ Plenty of free time enjoying the palazzo and relaxing by the pool
It’s hard to put the feeling of a retreat week into words. The jokes, laughs, shared memories. Exploring a new country with a fascinating history and culture. And moments of pure awe. Moments where you stop and look around and can’t believe you’re here and this is real. Moments suspended in time.
What an incredible group of women to spend the week with and share this amazing experience. Italy is forever my favorite place and it is my life’s dream that I get to share its magic with others. So grateful to everyone who came on this retreat and trusted me with this experience. The last day swimming in the sea together, soaking in the last of the sun, not wanting the day to end. That moment will always stay with me 🫶
Travel has a way of making you feel more alive. Sharing this memories with others makes them even more special. What a magical week I will always carry with me, grazie a mille to you all ❤️🥹
