YOGA VACATION IN TUSCANY
We are thrilled to announce that we are returning to our charming private villa, il Borghino, a remote location nestled in the hills of Tuscany overlooking the small medieval walled city of Lucca, which is only 5 km away. Florence, to the east, is an easy day trip by train, and Pisa and the seashore are about 30 minutes to the west. The Villa is comprised of 3 elegant houses, each with their own spacious lounge and kitchen. There is a large communal area called “L’Olivo” complete with a fireplace, kitchen, dining area, and gymnasium where our yoga classes will be held. A beautiful pool and patio provide a view of surrounding vineyards and olive groves. This is truly a magical place!

Delicious organic wine produced on the property is always available for purchase. In addition you can request to have onsite services of a local masseur. To better explore the hill towns of Tuscany, you may want to consider a rental car, and trip insurance is always a good idea. There will be plenty of freedom to allow all our senses to be indulged. Il Borghino is the encapsulation of somewhere that is not simply a beautiful place to spend a holiday, but an experience of a lifetime. Ciao Bella Italia!
