Itinerary 2012
At designated times throughout the year, La Montagnola and Pilates Hudson organize Classical Pilates and Yoga retreats. At the Villa, an 18th century estate with over 400 acres of farmland, students embrace simplicity and balance. We offer guided excursions to a host of hillside towns like Perugia, Assisi, Montefalco, Orvieto, and Spoleto. Longer day trips to Rome, Sienna, and Florence are included on the Ten Day retreats. We provide a diet of fresh, local cuisine. Wine tasting and cooking classes are available. Daily, we practice Pilates and Yoga. We emphasize self-discovery during these week-long lifestyle journeys. Often, a surprising result is weight loss, a renewed commitment to wellness, and a sense of old habits traded for new ones. La Montagnola is the perfect destination for solo travelers, as well as groups, looking for a unique location to experience the slow, real magic of Central Italy.
The NY Times raves about our captivating host, Vittoria Iraci, in a recent review of the agricultural estate, its olive trees, authentic cooking classes, affordability, and absolute beauty.
"My first trip to Vittoria's home in Umbria was meaningful, beyond the vacation. The whole landscape is inspiring, even as I return to it again and again," says Nicole Meadors.
