THE VENUE, LOCATION & ACCOMMODATION
We are returning to the picturesque seaside town of Cefalù. Our home for the week is located on the main Piazza next to the majestic Duomo (cathedral). The spacious apartments all have a kitchenette and dining area as well as an ensuite bathrooms. The rooms are lovely and simply furnished. We have exclusive access to the enormous rooftop terrace where we’ll have our yoga classes although you’ll be hard pushed to remain focused with the views of the sea and the surrounding delights!
We’ll be overlooking the square which houses the imposing Duomo, a stunning 12th century cathedral. Towering above is the Rocca, a massive hill, well worth the steep climb to see the Norman fortifications, said also to be home to mythical giants!
We’ll be just off the main street, Corso Ruggero, where we’ll join the locals after yoga for the ‘passeggiata’, the evening stroll!
With gorgeous beaches and fantastic restaurants it’s no wonder that director Giuseppe Tornatore chose to set parts of his much-loved film Cinema Paradiso here. Cefalù really is the perfect picture postcard town for a holiday!
YOUR DAY
Arrivals are at Palermo airport. We will be picked up as a group and whisked away to our magical home from home. We’ll take time to settle in, have some lunch (probably pizza!) before enjoying a typical Sicilian meal in the evening at a local restaurant. Yoga classes start the next day, Sunday.
There’ll be yoga every morning, 8-9.15am starting on Sunday morning (apart from the day of departure) and in the evenings, 6-7.15pm apart from on the evening we have our private dining experience. There won’t be any yoga on the day we go to visit to the Roman Villa as it will be an early start!
During our stay in Sicily, we’ll explore the island a little including:
The Roman Villa at Piaza Armerina. Here we will discover the stunning mosaics -prepared to be wowed!
We’ll enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting at a wonderful vineyard with lots of local Sicilian treats to tuck into.
There’ll be a day of walking and picnicking!
Plus lots of yoga and beach time :-)
THE FOOD
Personally we think Sicilian food is the best cuisine in the world! If you’re a fish eater then the abundance of fresh fish and seafood will more than satisfy your appetite. Meat eaters are also catered for too with local meats dishes on the menu. Vegetarians and vegans will not be disappointed either! The local vegetable dishes are mouth waveringly good - the local aubergine dish of ‘caponata’ is a must try, not forgetting ‘arancini’ (stuffed fried rice balls) and the famous ice cream sandwiches!
The local honey and wines are also a real treat!
With regards to meals on this yoga holiday, brunch is included as well as the picnic on our guided walk, PLUS a private dining experience on our rooftop terrace, when we’ll be catered for by our local professional chefs. We’ll book restaurants for the whole group for the other evenings at places that offer a wide range of meals.
Lunches can be taken at local cafes or you can prepare a little picnic to take to the beach!
