ITALY 2026

with Amanda Harding & Elliotte Simian

Led by Amanda Harding & Elliotte Simian

September 27th - October 4th 2026

Join Prema Yoga Brooklyn & Amanda Harding & Elliotte Simian for this magical retreat to Southern Italy! This retreat is very limited.

Step into the rhythms of southern Italy for a week of yoga, sea air, and slow living. Our home will be a beautifully restored 18th-century farmhouse set among olive groves and just a short walk to the sea. With white-washed walls, vaulted ceilings, shady courtyards, and breezy terraces, the Masseria feels both rustic and refined — a place where mornings begin with light filtering through old stone arches and evenings end with dinner under the stars.

The property has quiet corners for reading, a pool framed by fruit trees, and gathering spaces that make it easy to connect or disconnect. Inside, each room is simple yet elegant, blending antique touches with modern comforts.

What’s Included:

  • 7 nights / 8 days accommodations

  • Daily vegetarian meals prepared by three local women — hearty, seasonal, and abundant. A generous brunch follows morning practice, and a multi-course dinner is served each evening. Snacks, fruit, coffee, and tea are available all day.

  • Two guided day trips to beautiful historic neighboring towns for exploring, shopping, and soaking in local culture.

  • One pasta-making class on site.

  • Daily yoga practice in the mornings with restorative or meditation sessions on select afternoons.

  • Welcome gift from Prema Home.

Getting There:

  • Fly into Brindisi – The closest airport (about an hour away) with regular flights from Rome, Milan, and other European hubs.

  • Fly into Bari – Slightly farther, but also well-served by domestic and European flights.

  • Fly into Rome – Ideal if you want to add on a few days in the city before or after. From Rome, you can take the train south or rent a car for a scenic drive to Puglia.

We’ll provide clear driving directions and contacts for local transfer companies once you book. If you wish to explore more during your free time, you may choose to rent a car, but this is entirely optional and handled on your own.
