Dirty Feet Wellness & Yoga Retreat

Kimberly Manthey // Urbino, Italy

In short

Escape to the Italian countryside with our well-rounded Italian Yoga Retreat. Urbino is located in a stunning hilly area, at the foothills of the Northern Apennines and the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines. This picturesque medieval city in the Marche region of Italy is a World Heritage Site, nestled on a high, sloping hillside. Its best-known architectural piece is the Palazzo Ducale, rebuilt by Luciano Laurana.

During this retreat, we will stay seven nights in a comfortable 4-star country side resort. Practise daily yoga overlooking the Umbrian hills, stroll through the streets of Urbino learning about the magnificent history and visit the famous Raphael's house and artworks. We will explore the local vineyards for wine tasting and for those wanting to see nature, we will set off for a Kayaking tour. One full day is allocated for unwinding in the onsite spa/sauna or by the pool. Urbino is well-known for its divine cuisine; each night, we will recharge with a slow-paced Italian style of dining and living.

Single, twin, triple and quad shared rooms available. Note* If you would like to share a room, it's required that you fill the other spaces. If you are a solo traveller and would like to share, please get in touch, we will try our best to find you a suitable roommate. Alternatively, the single room rate will apply.

This retreat is suitable for all ages and levels of practitioners.
