A typical day on Retreat

8am - 9am:
Yoga morning flow class - Walk the estate - Sleep in, the choice is yours.

9.30am:
Buffet breakfast in the shade of the west wing terrace, or sitting brightly in the sunshine, as you wish.

10.30:
This morning we head to town, having learnt the ways of the Italians, this is when we explore and shop. We will take in our favourite coffee spot, wander the streets and explore the local shops, then we meet Luca, our Schiacciata Maestro for lunch. 

2pm:
Return to the house for Siesta, Massage or a swim. All of Italy closes until 4pm so we use this time wisely.

Aperitivo, we will master the local mixes before heading to our West terrace to dine and watch the sunset.
Or are we in town tasting the local Pici or Pizza. Your choice....

Tuck yourself into bed and listen to the sounds of the countryside, the owls, the deer, the boar and if you are really lucky, the wolves.
