THE REGION
Rolling hills stretching to the horizon define the landscape, dotted with medieval villages and sprawling vineyards that produce some of Italy's finest wines. Monferrato is far more than just a destination, it's an invitation to experience authentic Piedmont with all your senses. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014 and the home of the white truffle, Monferrato offers a space to discover and experience the unique treasures of this region.
I couldn't recommend Vanessa's retreat in Monferrato more! The morning classes were such a refreshing way to start the day, and the evening sessions were the perfect wind-down before enjoying some delicious food with the group. Vanessa is a wonderfully competent and kind host: her attentive and detail-focused teaching style helped me refine my practice and learn new techniques. The venue itself is ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful environment away from day-to-day stress. I hold the memories of those days close to my heart. - Arianna M.
l've just come back from the Italian retreat in Monferrato and love everything of it- it was super nice to start and end the day with some relaxing yoga classes and mix in some more energetic barre and pilates while enjoying the beautiful landscape in very good company! Definitely something to repeat! - Cristina R.
Thank you so much for the beautiful and replenishing week. Everything was perfectly planned and paced. I learned a lot and I feel refreshed. really needed this and can't wait to do more sessions and retreats with you. - Katia F.
