Monferrato Hilltop Retreat
Set among vineyards, olive groves and rolling meadows, this beautiful historic estate offers an intimate retreat setting for groups of up to 18 guests. From the property, panoramic views stretch across the UNESCO-listed Monferrato hills towards the Alps.
Although the estate feels wonderfully secluded, it is surprisingly accessible — around an hour from both Milan Malpensa and Turin Caselle airports and close to the Swiss border. Once you arrive, the pace changes completely. Days are shaped by nature, movement, stillness, good food and uninterrupted time together.
Originally built as a winery in the mid-19th century, the estate beautifully combines Italian heritage, contemporary art, nature and wellbeing. Your group has exclusive use of the property, creating a private and peaceful environment with no other guests or retreat groups.
A Beautiful Setting for Your Retreat
Start the day with yoga as the sun rises over the hills, spend quiet moments surrounded by birdsong and vineyards, and finish the afternoon beside the panoramic saltwater pool.
The estate offers a choice of indoor and outdoor spaces for yoga, meditation, workshops and group activities.
The main 45m² yoga studio is a light-filled former riding stable with wooden floors, heating, air conditioning and large windows overlooking the surrounding countryside. It comfortably accommodates up to 14 mats.
During warmer months, groups can also practise in the atmospheric historic hay barn, an approximately 80m² open-sided space with original brickwork and plenty of character.
For quieter moments, the landscaped gardens provide additional spaces for meditation, reflection and outdoor sessions.
Wellness Facilities
Alongside the yoga studio is a dedicated wellness area featuring:
Massage room
Sauna
Fully equipped gym
Panoramic saltwater swimming pool
Outdoor hot tub
Garden relaxation areas and reading spaces
There is also a secluded outdoor area designed for reflection, ceremonies and workshops, complete with fire bowls that can be used for private evening gatherings beneath the stars.
Accommodation
The estate offers six beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, heating, Wi-Fi, kettle and organic herbal teas. Selected rooms also feature panoramic balconies.
The main house has 6 double rooms:
✓ 5 Twin rooms with two single beds
✓ 1 double room with one 160 cm double bed (cannot be separated into two single beds).
✓ The two largest rooms can comfortably accommodate a third bed.
✓ All rooms have an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, a kettle with a selection of organic herbal teas, free Wi-Fi, fly screens, a hairdryer and toiletries from ANTOS natural cosmetics.
For larger groups, an additional two double bedrooms may be available in the separate guest accommodation, bringing the total capacity to 18 guests.
Dependance (opposite the main house)
Available seasonally for larger groups. The annexe offers 1 double room, 1 twin room and a bathroom.
It is designed as a self-contained holiday home; therefore, the two rooms share a bathroom. Ideal for teams of staff.
The intimate size of the property creates a relaxed, personal atmosphere that works particularly well for private yoga, Pilates, meditation and wellness retreats.
Maximum capacity: 18 guests
Minimum group size: 8 participants
Minimum group size on public holidays: 10 participants
Nourishing Italian Cuisine
Food is an important part of the retreat experience, with seasonal vegetarian cuisine inspired by the flavours of Piedmont.
Mornings begin with ginger and lemon tea, coffee and light refreshments before practice, followed by a generous vegetarian brunch featuring fresh, local ingredients.
Evening meals can be prepared by a local guest chef, with seasonal produce sourced largely from her own agricultural garden. Depending on the length of the retreat, groups can also enjoy a relaxed Italian pizza evening with homemade pizzas and fresh salads.
If you prefer to bring your own chef, you can hire the kitchen for an additional fee.
Please note that the property is currently unable to cater for vegan diets.
Beyond the Retreat
The surrounding Monferrato countryside is perfect for exploring between sessions. Guests can enjoy walks and runs directly from the estate, hire e-MTBs or arrange guided excursions through the surrounding hills and villages.
Wine tasting, local food experiences and other activities can also be incorporated into a bespoke retreat programme.
Create Your Own Retreat
Whether you're planning a yoga retreat, wellness escape, meditation weekend, Pilates retreat or private group experience, the estate offers the space, privacy and facilities to create something truly personal.
With spectacular countryside views, exclusive use, intimate accommodation and the character of an authentic Italian estate, it is a place where guests can step away from everyday life and reconnect with themselves and each other.
