La Dolce Vita Sicily Yoga Retreat

Hotel

Excursions

Excursions

 Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Hotel Villa Taormina, a boutique gem set in the heart of Taormina’s medieval center. This lovingly restored aristocratic villa channels the town’s rich heritage and artistic soul—each of its fourteen rooms is adorned with antique chestnut wood inherited from the owner’s family land, infused with museum‑worthy Sicilian furniture and artifacts. Modern comforts like air conditioning, plush hypoallergenic bedding, and spa-inspired bathrooms sit in perfect harmony with these historical touches, offering both luxury and authenticity. 

Step outside into the hotel’s secret Mediterranean garden, a fragrant oasis of citrus, jasmine, and bougainvillea—and your sanctuary for yoga, reflection, or a sunset cocktail. The heated infinity pool and rooftop lounge bar offer sweeping views from Mount Etna to the Ionian Sea—ideal for morning movement or evening gatherings under Sicilian skies.

Excursions

  Beyond the yoga mat, Taormina offers a perfect mix of adventure, beauty, and indulgence. During our retreat, we’ll explore some of Sicily’s most iconic sights — including a guided journey to the majestic Mount Etna, and a sun-soaked day at Isola Bella, where you can swim in turquoise waters and relax on its picturesque beach.

We’ll also enjoy a private Sicilian wine tasting, sampling regional wines grown in volcanic soil, paired with seasonal bites and local specialties. And of course, the food — from handmade pastas and fresh seafood to just-out-of-the-oven focaccia and the best cannoli you’ve ever tasted. In your free time, stroll through Taormina’s charming stone streets, shop for hand-painted ceramics, or visit the stunning ancient Greek Theater with views of the sea and sky.

Whether you're craving culture, nature, flavor, or rest — Taormina offers it all in one magical place.
