Join us for a unique and incredible experience in Umbria Italy! On this retreat we will be stepping off the beaten path, away from all the tourist spots and immersing ourselves in the local culture of Umbria. For this week long retreat we will be staying at Agriturismo La Dogana, a beautiful farm estate overlooking the stunning Lake Trasimeno.
This estate from the 1800's has been in the de Ferrari’s family for generations. La Dogana’s 100 acre estate and olive grove is actually a national landmark in Italy, being an agricultural farm producing organic olive oil. On the top of the hill among the olive trees there is a 30 meter swimming pool with a bathroom, sun beds, umbrellas, and a designed secret garden, that overlooks the beautiful Trasimeno lake and the Tuscan hills, to help you cool off and relax.
In the lowest part of Dogana a small vegetable garden, Lucia the owners, beloved piece of paradise, where all guests can go to pick fresh vegetables, fresh eggs, enjoy the flowers and pet the farm animals (special breed of chickens, geese, rescued horses, bees, and more).
At the center of the property is the restaurant that is exclusive to our group, offering breakfasts and dinner daily. All of the food is made with local products from the farm and served directly to our table. Breakfasts and dinners will be served under the beautiful wooden pergola with stunning views of the lake.
Our days will start with a yoga practice overlooking the lake, followed by a fresh local breakfast. After breakfast a day of adventure awaits with a town tour where you can shop, eat, and explore your way around an ancient village. These small towns selected by Lucia are not touristic but on the contrary are authentic local gems! Each tour will be guided by a local allowing us to really have an authentic experience. You will also have the option to go horseback or bike riding in the Tuscan hills, hiking, paddle boarding or kayaking on the lake and so much more! After returning to La Dogana and relaxing by the pool, a 3 course homemade Italian dinner will await!
Don't miss out on this incredible experience of immersing yourself into the local culture of Italy while nurturing your soul with yoga, adventure and delicious food!
