Olea Italian Retreats
Yoga beneath the Sabina sky
A 150-square-metre outdoor yoga platform gives practice at Olea a wide, open view across the Sabina countryside. This retreat venue is designed for visiting yoga teachers to host their own gatherings, so the experience and daily program depend on the retreat you choose rather than a single house style. Gardens, olive groves and a pool shape the shared outdoor spaces, while two restored farmhouses provide a rustic Italian base with modern comforts. The accommodation can host up to 22 guests in summer and 18 during autumn and winter retreats, making the setting suitable for both group practice and smaller seasonal gatherings. Rome is within reach, yet the pace here is distinctly rural. Check the individual retreat details for its teaching approach, schedule and what is included, as these can vary with the host.
