I stayed at the yoga farm as a guest on an Epic Trip with Worldpackers, not as a volunteer. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the whole place felt like one big family. Set in the beautiful Italian countryside, it was the perfect place to slow down and enjoy experiences like horse riding, yoga and a local cooking class. The accommodation is basic, but the hospitality, peaceful surroundings and wonderful people made the experience truly special. I left with lovely memories and would happily recommend it!

I had a fantastic time staying at Italy yoga farm with Antonello. We had fun activities planned such as horse riding, meditation hikes, hikes to the fountain, daily yoga, massage and a complimentary teaching class. The staff feel like family, you can have fun conversations with everyone. It was so interesting meeting all the volunteers and hearing about their life. The breakfast pancakes and french toast were my fav. It was one of the best trips I had. I would highly recommend as a solo traveller, who travelled in a group.

Travelers stay in cozy, rustic farm-style rooms nestled among olive groves and Abruzzi mountain views, shared rooms for up to 4 travelers designed for comfort and simplicity. Bathrooms are shared, clean, and stocked with eco-friendly toiletries. Communal spaces include an outdoor yoga platform, meditation room, dining terrace, and gardens. Limited Wi-Fi encourages a digital detox. Heating and natural ventilation keep rooms comfortable, and sustainable practices like solar energy and composting support a mindful stay.
All meals are thoughtfully prepared by our kitchen team and cooks, specializing in farm-to-table Italian vegetarian cuisine with plenty of daily vegan options. The group will enjoy communal, buffet-style dining featuring regional flavors, such as fresh fettuccine and roasted vegetables prepared in a traditional wood-burning oven. Breakfast offers daily fresh wheat bread from a local bakery, French toast, porridge, jams, and seasonal orchard fruits. Ingredients are supported by our own olive oil, honey, and summer tomatoes. For other nutritional needs, please contact the Worldpackers team.
The group can reach the experience via Rome’s Fiumicino Airport (FCO). To make your journey seamless, a roundtrip transfer service is included in your program fee, consisting of one scheduled group pick-up on arrival day and one group drop-off on departure day. We recommend booking flights that land between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM on arrival day to connect with this shared transfer and travel together to the farm. Full details are provided in your program guide once your spot is confirmed!
This project is a regenerative farm and spiritual retreat center in the green hills of Abruzzo, where olive groves meet mountain air near the Adriatic Sea. Rooted in sustainability, community, and conscious living, it was founded by Antonello, who grew up on an organic farm at the foot of the Apennines and developed a deep connection to the Earth.
After studying literature and philosophy in Italy and the UK, Antonello returned to his roots to inspire others through eco-living, healthy food, and holistic practices. His global travels—particularly to India and Thailand—ignited a passion for yoga that is now at the heart of the project.
Today, the retreat offers travelers a space to slow down and reconnect through daily yoga, organic farming, shared meals, and cultural immersion. Supported by a small team—including teachers Kat and Greta, and cook Elena—the project maintains strong ties with local artisans and farmers to keep the experience deeply connected to the region. Whether you are harvesting olives, practicing sunrise asanas, or enjoying a homegrown meal, everything is designed to help you live in harmony with the land.

This project is nestled in the heart of the Abruzzo region, right on the edge of the breathtaking Abruzzi National Park—a protected area known for its rolling hills, ancient forests, and untouched natural beauty. This region of Italy is often called the country’s best-kept secret, where wild landscapes meet charming hilltop villages, and time seems to slow down. Just a few hours from Rome, Abruzzo offers a rich blend of Italian culture, traditional cuisine, and stunning scenery—from snow-capped mountains to the turquoise Adriatic coastline. It’s the perfect setting for a retreat: peaceful, grounding, and deeply connected to nature.
At this project, impact is woven into everyday life. Hosting over 200 guests a year, the project strengthens the local economy by supporting small producers, employing locals, and collaborating with Italian wellness practitioners. More than 70% of the food is sourced from nearby organic farms, and guests learn about land regeneration and sustainability. By experiencing rural traditions and connecting with the community, travelers help preserve local culture while supporting a more conscious, regenerative way of living.
Travelers take part in daily yoga, meditation, and plant-based meals, supporting physical, mental, and emotional health. Reconnecting with nature and holistic living often inspires long-lasting healthy habits.
The farm runs on solar panels and energy-efficient systems. Guests learn how clean energy powers daily life and are encouraged to adopt energy-conscious habits during their stay.
From farm-to-table meals to composting and zero-waste practices, guests experience a sustainable lifestyle firsthand, and often bring these conscious consumption habits back home.
