A Rinascita

Restore your rhythm in Corsica

France Porto-Vecchio donation

Southern Corsica sets the pace at A Rinascita, a sport-and-wellness retreat arranged across two private villas near Porto-Vecchio. The mood is polished but relaxed: each villa has a landscaped garden looking onto the maquis, its own swimming pool, and room to slow down between retreat activities. Inside, four air-conditioned bedrooms each have a private bathroom, alongside an open-plan living area and equipped kitchen. This is a restorative stay built around reconnecting with the body and regaining energy, rather than a center tied to a named meditation lineage. Dietary options include vegetarian, vegan and pescetarian choices, as well as gluten-free and dairy-free options. Figari Sud-Corse Airport is about 18 km away, and a shared airport transfer is arranged for the retreat’s June 23 arrival. The stay runs by donation, so confirm the retreat dates, itinerary and donation details with the host before booking.

Setting

The villas sit in a small private residence amid the characteristically fragrant Corsican maquis. Landscaped gardens and private pools create an easygoing setting for time outdoors and quiet breaks between retreat activities.

A typical day

Daily rhythm depends on the retreat program: the villas provide shared living space, gardens and private pools for downtime, but no fixed wake-up, practice or meal schedule is described. Confirm the itinerary with the host.

Accommodation

The retreat uses two private villas, each about 150 m², with four air-conditioned bedrooms and four private bathrooms, plus two additional WCs. Each villa also has an open-plan living room, a fully equipped kitchen and utility room, a private pool and a landscaped garden.

What to bring

Pack comfortable clothes for the retreat activities and swimwear for the villa pool. Summer is typically warm and dry, so bring sun protection; in cooler or wetter months, add layers and a light rain jacket.
