the contrasting pretty perched villages in the mountains, and the famous walking trail known as the Alta Via, a

walker's paradise. whYoga can also arrange a visit to arguably the most beautiful gardens in Europe, The Hanbury Gardens. This retreat has something for everyone and could not be more idyllic, immersed in nature with stunning views of the mountains and valleys.

Marina indulges her guests with wonderful Italian home cooked food whilst her husband Roger takes care of all other requirements including offering you a nightcap of home made Limoncello!

I had a lovely time at Villatalla, it was all and more than I expected and I am feeling fully rested and revitalised! I hope you are planning one for the same time next year!

I’ve been attending Vicky’s classes, yoga days and retreats over the course of the last year, and I am delighted to be able to have the opportunity to recommend her to other people in the area. Vicky has a special gift of making yoga accessible to anyone and everyone. I have just returned from a fantastic long weekend retreat with her in Liguria in the north of Italy. Vicky creates a warm, fun and supportive atmosphere and chooses the most wonderful locations which means her retreats are a real delight. This was my third retreat, and I look forward to many more in the future.

I have just come back from my third retreat - this time in Liguria in Italy . The retreats are always situated in beautiful surroundings and the atmosphere is always warm, supportive, relaxing and challenging, in the right proportions. And frankly, I can’t wait for the next one!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for such a wonderful retreat at Villatalla. It was such a privilege being able to join the group and enjoy your yoga classes for three days. I have been inspired by the retreat to think about many things by the many conversations with the interesting people in that group.

I have just returned from a retreat in Liguria, where master classes every morning and deep relaxation and meditation every evening made for a profoundly relaxing and transformational experience.
