Yoga Retreat Holidays Italy - Luxury yoga retreat for Kundalini, Vinyasa, Ashtanga Yoga, Italy
Every 7 seconds someone somewhere considers going to The Hill That Breathes. Then they think about sex, or so the statistics say anyway. So what the appeal?
We offer a programme of fabulous weeks, including: Hatha, Astanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa Yoga, Yoga & Detox and Yoga for Runners, Tai Chi & Qigong, Master weeks with Barefoot Doctor, Karl Grunick and Dan Brulé and our famous ‘F**k It’ weeks. We have a stunning, eco-friendly Italian farmhouse to house our guests and serve some truly fantastic food (vegetarian of course), sample our lemon and fennel risotto, grilled aubergine and garlic pizza or wild mushroom lasagne. Our panoramic salt-water pool is to die for splashing around and sunbathing.
Whatever’s on in your week, life is easy at The Hill. A light breakfast is followed by the morning session which leads us into an early lunch. The afternoon is free so there’s plenty of time to enjoy a snooze by the pool, a walk in the woods, or a cookery lesson, or a tea ceremony with Gaia (or anything else you fancy).
Then we have another session before our evening meal. There is also one day off to visit the surroundings, such as the renaissance hill-town of Urbino, a world heritage site guaranteed to inject some culture into this memorable break.
The Hill That Breathes really is a breath of fresh air, unique, inspiring and holistically healthy.

Travel
By Air
Most of our guests fly to Ancona airport, from London Stansted, with Ryanair. We organise a shuttle (in the form of a mini-bus, rather than a space-ship) to meet the Thursday flight every week (details on this page).
Some guests find that the Ryanair Rimini flights (also from Stansted) can work very well too (again, details on this page).
So that you know the full choice of airports, here's how far away (by road) we are from major airports:
- Ancona (90 mins)
- Rimini (80 mins)
- Bologna Forli (90 mins)
- Bologna (120 mins)
- Milan airports (4-5 hours)
- Rome Ciampino (4-5 hours)
- Rome Fiumicino (4-5 hours)
Full details on how to get to us from these airports without hiring a car, are in our FAQs under 'travel, transfers, arrival & departure'.
By Car
You can of course hire a car at any of the airports (we’ll give you thorough directions to The Hill). However most of our guests choose to arrive in the ways outlined above and simply jump in a taxi together when they fancy leaving The Hill for an excursion.
