A week-long yoga retreat in the slow-paced splendor of Le Marche, Italy. Fall in love with daily yoga classes, homemade pastas, locally grown wines, Medieval towns and the cerulean waters of Adriatic sea. Above all, fall in love with your own heart during this week of pleasure, friendship, exploration, and wellness.

This is a retreat for designers, artists, lovers, dear friends, and those who wish to be pampered while doing the work of yoga and meditation.

The Location: Le Marche, Italy

From the white-pebble, cliff-backed bays along the Adriatic to sloped hill towns and the high-rise mountain ranges of Monti Sibillini, Le Marche is one of Italy‘s little-known treasures.

It’s inland where Le Marche really shines. Urbino, Raphael’s hometown, presents a smorgasbord of Renaissance art and history up and down its vertical streets. Pale but lovely Ascoli Piceno has beauty and history in bounds.

Retreat participants should travel to Rome or Florence and arrive in Le Marche by rental car, or fly/train into Ancono and we can arrange local transportation for you. Please specify after booking if you need travel assistance.

The Casa:

The house is nestled on a hill in the rolling province of Le Marche, five minutes drive from the historic and picturesque Medieval town of Belvedere Ostrense. It’s a peaceful haven just 20 minutes from the coast and the wide, welcoming, beaches of Senigallia on the Adriatic.

CasaErcole is a beautifully restored farmhouse with views across the rolling countryside, with a large swimming pool, twelve person jacuzzi, and extensive gardens. Staying at CasaErcole is not a hotel experience, it is bespoke and unique, a designer’s paradise.

There is free Wi-Fi throughout the house and ample free parking.  CasaErcole is also home to the Ercole Moroni Flower School with courses running throughout the year taught by the internationally renowned designer Ercole Moroni.

Additional rooms available at the neighboring Inn. All group meals and events take place at the main house, so only the room accommodations differ between the Casa and Inn.

The Food:

Locally sourced, seasonal and delicious meals crafted in the in-house kitchens and outdoor forno oven.

The Yoga:

Daily morning mindfulness meditation, pranayama, and Vinyasa yoga practices. Suitable for all levels. Yoga classes led by Yoga Bar founder Rachel Roberts will bring balance to your mind, body and heart.

The Inclusions:

Flower arranging class with the world-renowned floral designer Ercole Moroni. Excursions to nearby Midevil villages and the Adriatic Sea, all Casa meals. Transportation from nearby airports can be arranged for an additional fee. Those wishing to rent a car to explore, free parking is included.
