Masseria Torre Luciana | Sew Retreat Centre
Yoga, Salento, and a gentler pace
In Salento, the appeal of Masseria Torre Luciana lies in its blend of a traditional masseria setting and a personal, unbuttoned retreat feel. The centre has 14 beds, giving it a more intimate scale than a large resort, while its retreat offering brings together wellbeing and the character of the Lecce area. Yoga teacher Alice is a notable part of the experience, and her classes are praised for their quality. Spritz, her dog, is another memorable presence, lending the place an easygoing, lived-in feel rather than a formal retreat-house mood. The centre’s name includes “Sew,” though activities and formats can vary, so check what is planned for your dates. Expect a paid stay, with room details, meals, and daily timings best confirmed directly before booking. For visitors drawn to yoga in a personable setting, this is a promising base for a slower stay in Salento.
