Our talented plant-based Chefs strive to nourish our guests with a variety of delicious food with a farm to table approach. A holistic Vegan breakfast and lunch will provide the necessary fuel for your day, before we conclude with an evening snack, preferring to skip a heavy dinner and go to bed with a light stomach. A range of herbal teas and fruits will always be available in the living area.

To keep the space sacred, we don’t serve alcohol during this retreat to enable true holistic healing. You may enjoy a wide range of seasonal fruit juices and herbal teas.

Our retreats have a maximum of 10 guests to ensure peace, seclusion and tranquility are at the forefront of your experience.
blank If I am a single guest will I share a room?
We consider our retreats to be a sacred space and so all guests will enjoy the privacy of their own luxury bedroom. Bathrooms will be shared with one other room. Shared occupancy is available only for close friends, family and couples upon request.
blank Does every bedroom have an ensuite bathroom?
Due to the ancient plumbery system and Italian regulations to preserve the architecture, the mansion keeps its original layout with a shared bathroom throughout the villa. Usually during the retreat two bedrooms share one bathroom.
blank What is your booking and cancellation policy?
Please refer to our booking terms and conditions here : https://blissbodyjourneys.com/terms-conditions/
blank Are there any other activities possible to arrange during the retreat?
As we strive to mainly focus on meditation and asana practice, we recommend to use free time for reflections and journaling, yet there will be a possibility to arrange an Energy Healing Session with Vlada De Sousa for a more deep healing journey.

“An invitation to truly fall in love with life.

When we activate our heart centre and start living from a place of heart awareness, we connect to the endless spiritual elixir of love.

Our transformational and healing retreats are grounded in the ancient methods of Yoga, energy work, meditation and spiritual psychology to embody the teachings of love and heal from emotional suffering.”
