Danena Retreat Center
Noto, Sicily
June 12-19, 2027
La Masseria is a beautifully restored 1800s farmhouse, nestled among olive and almond groves, just 15 minutes south of Noto, one of Italy’s most stunning World Heritage towns. A short 15-minute drive east brings you to the Vendicari Nature Reserve, a haven for wildlife with some of the island’s most secluded golden-sand beaches. Danena is located one hour south of Catania Airport on Sicily’s east coast. You can easily rent a car to explore this beautiful region, but transportation can also be arranged for you. Danena also has a number of free bikes available for use.
The group will be limited to 25 including Sarah and Julia. Danena Noto offers a variety of room choices, allowing us to keep our retreat accessible while also providing single rooms for those who wish. The Yoga studio, a restored barn, is fully equipped with props, and includes an outdoor shala overlooking the orange garden.
Danena has a beautiful freshwater infinity pool, relaxing patios, two massage rooms, and a sunset terrace. Explore the groves by foot or bike, take a refreshing swim, or visit the nearby beaches and historical towns. Additional optional activities include a boat trip, cooking classes, wine tasting and a pizza night at the home of a local chef.
Join us for a week of fun, adventure, new friends and of course, yoga.
