Yoga

Yoga classes will be offered one to two times a day, depending on the day's activities. Both morning and evening practices are appropriate for all levels of yoga practitioners that are able to get up and down from the floor easily. Both teachers are highly skilled at making movement accessible and useful to most people. All yoga classes are optional. This is YOUR retreat

​

Accommodations at Spannocchia

Each bedroom is uniquely furnished with centuries old antiques and original family-owned furniture. The rooms have views of the Villa garden and valley below the olive and fruit orchards and come equipped with fans for hot summer months as well as a community pool to cool off. There are a number of different common areas, including a library and sitting room. Single and double occupancy available with option of private or shared bathroom.

 

Food

All the meals at Spannocchia are prepared with the fresh and seasonal ingredients from the farms and livestock on site and are served to all guests and staff together for each meal. The menu reflects traditional foods to the area with a nightly four course dinner complete with house made wine. Important note from the kitchen, 

"If a member of your party has a food intolerance or allergy, we will do our best to provide suitable meals for this person. However, please be aware that we only have one kitchen and that we cannot prepare these meals in isolation. We recommend that guests with serious intolerances and allergies bring some food items for their own consumption at dinner as we cannot guarantee a meal entirely free from those foods that pose a risk."
