The 2nd time round was even better than
the first. Like coming home - and what a heavenly home. The perfect
vacation. Perfect balance of yoga, beauty, pleasure, connection,
laughter, magnificent food, Paradise! Grazie! Cris, San Diego, CA This vacation was relaxing, adventurous and an experience to reconnect with th ejoy that is always with us. It truly was a celebration of the senses. Ken and Kathleen are organized and very supportive. They guided us at the same time they set us free to explore. Terry, Columbia, MO Ken and Kathleen were great hosts. Terrific planning and pre-trip tips and communications. They are great to get along with and skillful in leadinga group of 16 very diverse people, resulting in outstanding sense of community and sharing. Deborah, San Antonio, TX Well organized by Ken and Kathleen with a well balanced program and trip. In comparison to other retreats - far and beyond my expectations. I appreciated your flexibility in schedule changes. Elly, Bradenton, FL
I think you did an excellent job of offering such different sensual experiences without ever feeling rushed. I also think Ken did an excellent job of navigating through the countryside with the many changes in direction. Take this trip to experience Italy and learn more about yourself. Your heart will expand and you will love more. Mac, Columbia, MO

The
atmosphere of the villa is charming, warm and welcoming. It accommodates
up to 20 people in sunny and cheerful shared rooms with very nice
hall baths.
You
may wish to tour around, shop, visit the Cathedral, meander the
narrow streets and dine on your own or with new friends.
We
will also take a trip to Volterra a quaint, medievel
town which, for centuries, has been a center for alabaster mining
and art production — where you can observe artists at work
in their studios. This idyllic, walkable town has some of the most
spectacular countryside views of anywhere we've been in Tuscany
for a day of wandering the beach and frolicking in thecrystal clear
water. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch specially prepared by the
cook at Ebbio.
Ebbio
has a stable and our host, Franz, is an avid rider. The horses are
available for guests' use to explore the surrounding countryside.
Some
guests enjoyed an exciting shopping spree at the Prada outlet!
Excellent
organization by Ken & Kathleen. Loving environment in and out
that made me feel comfortable immediately. You provided many different
tours and I never felt rushed - very relaxing week with a full schedule.
Amazing people-bonding and celebrating all the senses in this beautiful
place. Sigrid, Clifton, NJ
An
amazing adventure and great way to experience Italy for the first
time. I haven't met so many fun and interesting people in one place
before. Every day was filled with smiles and laughter along with
great food and yoga. What more could you want. Shara, Chicago, IL
An
incredible journey into the past: the charm of Italy explored through
sights, smells, tastes and the beautiful sounds of the language.
