Simona
My family and I had the best time on this tour. Stunning location, amazing food and the perfect atmosphere for yoga practice. Antonio took really good care of us, sharing his insightful knowledge of the area, and Susanna cooked the most delicious food for us. I will never forget her homemade vegetarian lasagna. Jairo was an incredible yoga teacher, always listening to our needs and requirements. The best yoga and cooking holiday in Italy!
