Aperitivo and ice cream at Castiglione del lago is such a lovely trip, only 25mins from the house. We shopped, we giggled, we ate ice cream and we had a ball together. We are surrounded by funny, vibrant, talented and wonderful women this week. Can’t believe today is the last full day of this retreat! Role on July 2025!

We are having a ball and are being fed like queens by the beautiful @fullspectrumhealthwithella and @nomans_in_italia Inda and Steve.
We are serving gluten free delights and everything is made from scratch. Many photos to come and a cookbook is in heavy demand. For now, please enjoy the beauty that is our wonderful Inda!

@anoushkashankarofficial providing the perfect soundtrack for @sophiemcnic massage treatments. In 35 degree heat we are so grateful for the beautiful stone walls of the house keeping us cool. Birds, breeze and grasshoppers add to the atmosphere as our guests enjoy their treatments.

Yoga with @nataliejacksonkinesiology began today outside among the millennial olive trees. Grounding us in nature and deep connectedness.

We visited the sacred millennial olive trees in Villa Strada, where @nataliejacksonkinesiology read the translated inscription written within one of the trees.
Watch the video on the 2nd slide or read below:
“Staying silent and listening is a great gift. Give yourself a small retreat into yourself and a moment of calm that cancels out your worries and delve into your deepest fears and find the essential. Make your ego silent and follow the natural energy. Pay attention to the emotions that come and make room for your spirit. You will find your inner freedom. Protect the environment you are in and you will protect yourself.

We loved going to the outdoor cinema in Castiglione del lago last night. The cool breeze kept the warmth to a perfect level. Aperitivo, dinner, ice cream and a film. La dolce vita!
