Yoga

Yoga classes will be offered one to two times a day, depending on the day's activities. Morning practice will be more vigorous to stoke yang energy for the day ahead and will finish with 15 minutes of meditation. Evening classes will be focused on restoring through yoga and myofascial self release, tennis balls will be provided. Both practices are appropriate for all levels of yoga practitioners that are able to get up and down from the floor easily. Ambika is highly skilled at making movement accessible and useful to most people. All yoga classes and day trips are optional, this is YOUR retreat!

Accommodations at Spannocchia

Each bedroom is uniquely furnished with centuries old antiques and original family-owned furniture. The rooms have views of the Villa garden and valley below the olive and fruit orchards and come equipped with fans for hot summer months as well as a community pool to cool off. There are a number of different common areas, including a library and sitting room. Guests staying in the Villa and Frattoria receive daily maid service, bed linens and towels are changed twice a week. Single and double occupancy available with option of private or shared bathroom.

Food

All the meals at Spannocchia are prepared with the fresh and seasonal ingredients from the farms and livestock on site and are served to all guests and staff together for each meal. The menu reflects traditional foods to the area with a nightly four course dinner, except on Saturday when we will dine in Siena, complete with house made wine. Important note from the kitchen, 

"If a member of your party has a food intolerance or allergy, we will do our best to provide suitable meals for this person. However, please be aware that we only have one kitchen and that we cannot prepare these meals in isolation. We recommend that guests with serious intolerances and allergies bring some food items for their own consumption at dinner as we cannot guarantee a meal entirely free from those foods that pose a risk."
