vita lenta retreat

Puglia, Italy
Join us for 5 unforgettable nights in Puglia.
We’ll stay in a stunning location surrounded by the beauty of southern Italy. This retreat offers a unique blend of Pilates classes, workshops, and cool activities, to help you feel recharged, revitalized, and inspired.
This year’s Pilates & Nutrition Retreat takes place at the breathtaking Masseria Marfa Carbina, an exclusive 12-guest haven of tranquility, nestled in the heart of Puglia’s stunning landscape and just minutes from Ostuni, the White City of Salento.
Throughout the week, we will enjoy daily Pilates classes tailored to strengthen our body, increase flexibility, and promote mindfulness.
Alongside the movement sessions, we will nourish your body with wholesome meals crafted by our lovely private chef, Lucia, using fresh, seasonal ingredients from the region.
The experience extends beyond the mat with a variety of outdoor activities designed to enrich all five days of the retreat. Sailing through the crystal- clear waters of the Gulf of Taranto on a private boat tour, deepening our well-being with a Female Health & Nutrition Workshop, and unlocking our creativity in a Journaling Workshop. We’ll also discover the secrets of traditional Italian cuisine in a hands-on Cooking Class, and explore the charming town of Alberobello, along with other hidden gems in the region.
This retreat is all about revitalizing your energy, fostering meaningful connections with other like-minded women, and creating lasting memories in a nurturing, peaceful environment.
We can’t wait to welcome you on this transformative journey!

mangiare bene
"eating well"
At the core of our retreat lies the rich, vibrant tradition of Mediterranean cuisine—an essential part of Italian culture. The Italian love language is cooking and eating, and we invite you to experience this passion firsthand.
All our ingredients come from the Puglian region, locally grown and hand-picked for their freshness and flavor. Our private chef will prepare these seasonal delights, offering a true taste of the land.
Together we’ll also dive into the culinary experience with a Traditional Italian Cooking Class, where we learn to create authentic Puglian dishes.
This is more than just eating—it’s about connecting with the culture, the land, and each other, all through the love of food.
