Pilates Retreat in Italy
10 -13 October 2024
Cherished Pilates classes, authentic Italian cuisine and leisure activities to suit your pace. While you are basking in the Italian scenery, everything is looked after, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your retreat.
Incredible 4-day retreat in Torre di Palme to immerse in the soft and silent hills that descend to the sea: the Adriatic coasts with crystal clear waters and wild beaches.
Italian sunshine, combining Pilates mindful practice, good food, breathtaking surroundings and stimulating activities will leave you feeling rejuvenated and prove the perfect break. A perfect way to combine a holiday in Italy whilst reconnecting with your mind and body through the practice of Pilates.
Monna Terra farmhouse is located in a recently renovated historic farmhouse, near the wonderful medieval village of Torre di Palme, one of the most beautiful historical villages in Italy.
This Pilates holiday is suitable for all levels. I will contact you prior to your holiday to discuss all your relevant requirements and medical history. This allows for your Pilates experience to be totally personalised.
The Benefit - "Pilates is the single most efficient and effective exercise you can do".
Pilates has become the ultimate in fitness techniques. It lengthens, strengthens and tones the body, working on the deep postural muscles through slow controlled exercises and it corrects body posture. Suitable for first time exercisers, very safe for those with back problems, yet it can improve athletic performance!
The Location
is immersed in the soft and silent hills that descend to the sea: the Adriatic coasts with crystal clear waters and wild beaches, such as Marina Palmense or Altidona. It is framed by the Sibillini Mountains with its hikes through uncontaminated woods, and it is just a few minutes from dozens of fascinating medieval villages, such as Lapedona, Moresco, Cupra... Here, in just one day, you can experience the bucolic hours of the farmer, the relaxation and the sun of the sea, but it is also possible to enjoy a gourmet dinner in Civitanova or S. Benedetto del Tronto, visit wineries and village festivals (ah...the delicious Maccheroncini di Campofilone!), photo galleries, museums, shops. And for the more active ones, there is no shortage of trendy clubs and water sports in the nearby Porto S. Giorgio
Are you ready to live “la Dolce Vita”?
The Accommodation
At Monna Terra farmhouse: 4 bedrooms with air conditioning and private bathroom with large shower are extremely bright, all different and each with its own identity.
The modern materials that have been left in their raw state, such as the concrete columns, the polished concrete floors and the steel beams of the attics, are combined with other warm materials such as wood and recycled furniture pieces. Many of them come from our family heritage and here have found a new life next to timeless design pieces, shaping an eclectic mix full of personality.
Available: 2 double rooms, 1 triple room, 1 quadruple room
Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, mini bar and complimentary tea and coffee station in the common area

HEAL YOUR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT
A retreat is the perfect way to develop new habits, break old ones, and take back home what you learn and adapt it to your everyday life. Regroup and surround yourself with people who see the world like you do. This retreat gives you a taste of what it is like to live mindfully and identify with what makes you more happy and content.
MAKE NEW FRIENDS
You'll find it reassuring to meet other guests, like-minded people. Where similar interests converge in such a beautiful, peaceful place with a common goal, a special bond is formed amongst the group. Whether travelling independently, with friends, family or partners, Rosanna has gone to great lengths to create an inclusive, supportive and fun environment.
I firmly believe a wellness break should make you feel at ease. That’s why I don’t roll back on quality or service. Working closely with my partners in Italy, with the knowledge of the region and its culture, I am able to deliver boutique, fun retreats for everyone with a personalised touch. I hope you can join me in this very special venture!
