PUGLIA, SOUTHERN ITALY

SEPT 26 – OCT 3, 2013

Practice Hatha-Vinyasa yoga with Gayle Olson on the white sandy beach, under olive trees and in the beautiful stone yoga sala at the award-winning Masseria Le Fabriche, in Puglia. Discover the exquisite cuisine, culture, and beauty of Puglia in this South Italy yoga retreat—a vacation that blends good health with good living.

YOUR MORNINGS begin with a breath of fresh air, a yoga session, serenity walk through the olive groves, followed by a healthy breakfast and fresh Italian coffee on the villa's terrace, with its splendid views of the vineyard and valley beyond. LEISURELY AFTERNOONS can be spent at the farm, lazing on a local beach, playing a round of golf or discovering Puglia’s fascinating seaside towns and country villages. If you want to quicken your pace — and pulse — go horse-riding, hiking, or biking with farm's available bicycles. There will be three organized excursions to explore the romantic medieval white cities of Puglia, and two Unesco World Sites of Matera and Alberobell, with the "Trulli" stone houses, unique only to this small region in Puglia.

THE EVENINGS are pure magic, as our talented chef and winemakers indulge you with a gourmet four-course dinner paired with the best local wines, music and more. Savor the sumptuous tastes, new friends and simple pleasures of good food, good wine and good company.
