Villa S. Ippolito: endless space, olive groves and stunning views from the garden with pool

From Florence Airport (FLR, approx. 110 km away) or Florence Train Station, it takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes by car. We can organise a transfer for you on request. The house is very spacious and extends over two floors. On the ground floor, there is a large kitchen with a fireplace, a large dining room and three very stylish living rooms. We have space to eat together both indoors and outdoors in the beautiful garden. The garden offers a large table for outdoor dining (easily accessible from the kitchen), a terrace and, on the other side, an ancient giant tree with a table. The view from there is simply breathtaking. Opposite the same view is the swimming pool, 14 x 7 metres, fully equipped with sunbathing and shaded areas. The villa has a utility room with a washing machine.

On the first floor, there are seven double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. In the next tab, you can read all about the rooms and prices.

Yoga mats and blocks are provided. If you wish, you can bring a lightweight travel mat to place over your rental mat. The Pilates ball is a wonderful all-rounder for different styles of yoga; we will use it for regenerative Yin Yoga. I recommend packing a light blanket or sarong for your yoga practice in case it is cool or windy.

We are bringing our own restaurant chef, who will spoil us with delicious vegan and vegetarian delicacies. Even a lunch workshop is included in the price. To be honest, I just can´t wait for it to start! Yours, Katrin

Villa S. Ipplito: our private villa in the hills of Italy with a pool and panoramic views to enjoy and recharge your batteries

Our private yoga villa "S. Ippolito" is located in Pomarance, a tranquil municipality in the southernmost tip of the province of Pisa, about 1.5 hours south of Florence. The entire property is available exclusively to us. No neighbours, noise or cars; the nearest houses are 800 metres away. Pure nature and relaxation.

From the spacious garden, you have an endless view over the hills of Tuscany. On our private estate, you can chill out on your sun lounger, refresh yourself in the pool and enjoy the fresh and diverse delicacies prepared by our wonderful restaurant chef Bobs. As a special treat, a cooking class is included! Our stone yoga terrace offers enough space for our small group of up to 16 yogis and yoginis. When it rains, we can retreat to one of the spacious living rooms. Yoga equipment is provided, so you can travel light. The stylish, typically Tuscan décor with frescoes in the high-ceilinged living rooms and the Mediterranean garden contribute to the villa's special charm.

It is not without reason that Tuscany is a dream destination: the natural surroundings are breathtaking, whether by the sea or inland. Many small villages are waiting to be discovered, and last but not least, it is a region full of culinary diversity, from fresh fish to Tuscan country cuisine and famous wines.

The town of Pomarance, with only about 5,000 inhabitants, is the ideal starting point for excursions. In addition to Volterra and San Gimignano for city lovers, there are countless destinations in the surrounding area for sports and wine enthusiasts.

Staying at beautiful "Villa S. Ippolito"

On the ground floor, there is a large kitchen with a fireplace, a large dining room and three very stylish living rooms. On the first floor, there are seven double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Three of the rooms have a double bed; you can book these rooms as single rooms for an additional charge or at a discounted price for two people who wish to share a double bed. Four other rooms each have two separate beds. These rooms are offered as shared double rooms. You will share this double room with another yoga guest, so feel free to bring a friend! The price includes hand towels, bath towels (not for the pool) and bed linen.

The price below includes your accommodation, 12 hours of yoga per week (Sunday to Friday; every morning and 3 times a week in the late afternoon), daily self-service breakfast (fresh fruit, yoghurt, milk/plant-based drinks, muesli, oatmeal) and a light lunch, as well as 5 dinners. One day, we are planning a cooking workshop with our chef Bobs for lunch! Tea, coffee, water and juices are available at all times. You can buy and store your personal soft drinks and alcoholic beverages in the common fridge if you wish.

Price per person for your yoga week in a shared double room (4 rooms/8 beds): € 1,450

Price per person for your yoga week in a double room for single use: € 1,950 OR for two people with a double bed: € 2,550 (3 rooms available)

What will you experience during your yoga week?

My mission is to help you lead a healthier, more fulfilling life by introducing you to yoga, healthy eating, fresh air and a large dose of joie de vivre in a very private setting. Every day, you can expect a 90-minute morning session, as well as a 60-minute late afternoon session on three days of the week (a total of 12 hours of yoga per week). It would be great if you have some yoga experience and can follow the sun salutation when I guide you through it, for example, and can easily keep up with a yoga session lasting 1 to 1.5 hours. I always strive to accommodate all participants and offer options for different experience levels and physical limitations. We alternate between classic Hatha yoga, dynamic Vinyasa flows and relaxing Yin yoga/Restorative yoga. Note: the photos below of yoga were taken during another trip to Tuscany.

In the kitchen of Villa S. Ippolito, you can prepare your own breakfast in the morning before your yoga session, choosing from fresh fruit, muesli, oatmeal, yoghurt and (plant-based) milk. Tea, coffee, water and juices are available throughout the day. A highlight is certainly our communal vegan lunch and dinner, which we will enjoy in the beautiful garden of the villa or at the dining table inside. On one day, you can look forward to a cooking workshop with our fabulous chef!
On two evenings, no dinner is planned at the villa so that you can explore the culinary highlights of Tuscany. Ideally, we can combine dinner at a restaurant with an excursion. The kitchen is also available for self-catering if you want.

On yoga-free afternoons, I am happy to organise excursions, such as hiking, for everyone who is interested. The area around Pomarance is scenically diverse. You can explore the area by road bike or mountain bike: fascinating little asphalt paths lead to small villages in the hinterland. Not far from Pomarance, there is an aromatherapy oil factory that we can visit.

Please consider renting a car for the yoga week. Often, the number of carpooling opportunities provided by the rental cars that bring the group together is sufficient to make joint excursions fun and inexpensive for everyone.

Travel information

Our week starts and ends on Saturday (check-in from 4 p.m., check-out by 10 a.m.).

The journey to Tuscany is not included in the price of your yoga week! You can find affordable flights from England to Italy (FLR) with airlines such as Ryan Air, EasyJet, ITA Airways and with operators such as Opodo and Firstchoice. A great way to find your flight is also Google Flights.

Yoga classes

Yoga classes take place from Sunday to Friday and are conducted in English. Every day, you can expect a 90-minute morning session (approx. 10:00 – 11:30), as well as a 60-minute late afternoon session on three days of the week (a total of 12 hours of yoga per week). My classes are suitable for both beginners and advanced yogis; however, you should have completed at least one beginner's course and be able to follow the sun salutation without any problems when I guide you through it. Even as an experienced yogi, my classes offer you plenty of opportunities for further development. The classes are based on Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga, and for relaxation you can look forward to Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. Requests are always welcome.

Massages

To help you take even better care of yourself during your yoga week, we have Tracey, our wonderful and very experienced masseuse on site. You can enjoy massages directly in our villa at any time – make your week a truly feel-good experience!

Nutritional advice

During the week, I am also available for nutritional consultations (vegetarian, vegan, Ayurvedic). You can indicate your preferences in the booking form, without obligation. Do you have any questions? Write to me!
