Yoga Retreat in Abruzzo, Italy (September 2026)

Contrada Lentesco, Abruzzo Coast

This 1-week retreat has grown out of a shared love of daily practice, good food, beautiful places and unhurried time. It is centred around morning yoga and evening meditation, with plenty of space in between to rest, swim, walk, talk — or simply be.

This retreat is hosted by Rachel and Dionne: Rachel leading the yoga and meditation, and Dionne caring for the food, flow and day-to-day rhythm of the week.

• JOIN US for a week-long yoga retreat in Italy, held in a beautiful villa near Abruzzo coast.
• Date: Tuesday, 22 September 2026 for 1 week
• Location: Contrada Lentesco, Torino di Sangro, CH, 66020 (Italy)
• Your hosts: Rachel & Dionne

Yoga Retreat: The Rhythm of the Week

Each day of this Italian yoga retreat follows a steady, nourishing structure:

• Morning yoga practice
• Breakfast and time to rest or explore
• Light lunches and free afternoons
• Evening meditation to settle and integrate
• Evening meal together (Two to three meals away from the Villa)

On some evenings we’ll head out together to experience the local culture — an agriturismo, a sunset aperitivo by the sea, or a nearby hill town. At other times, the villa offers everything needed for a quieter evening in (including a pasta-making evening).

Yoga & Meditation with Rachel – In the Flow

Rachel’s yoga teaching is grounded, attentive and embodied, with a focus on breath, alignment and awareness. And the structure of each day will support this:

• Daily morning yoga practice
• Daily evening meditation/relaxation practice
• Options offered within the practice
• Suitable for all yoga abilities

The yoga is the anchor of the retreat, supporting rest, clarity and a deeper connection to practice.

Food & Nourishment with Dionne

All meals at the villa are home-cooked, vegetarian and locally sourced, prepared with care and generosity.

• Seasonal Italian ingredients
• Wholesome, nourishing dishes
• Designed to support yoga practice and rest

Local wine is included with meals at the villa, for those who wish to enjoy it.

Meals taken while out exploring are at guests’ own choice.

Yoga Retreat: The Italian Setting

The villa comes with its own pool, well-fitted kitchens and bathrooms. It’s located close to Torino di Sangro, in the Abruzzo region — an area known for its coastline, and open landscapes.

Surrounded by vineyards, orchards and olive groves, within minutes of the Adriatic’s blue-flagged beaches; and offering wonderful views of the Majella National Park – Fruttanoce Villas really is the perfect yoga retreat base.

Between yoga sessions, therefore, there will be time to:

• Relax by the pool
• Walk to the beach
• Swim in the sea
• Read, journal or rest
• Hire a bicycle

Nothing is rushed, and nothing is forced.
