THE BAGLI0

A year of research led us to discover the most exquisite retreat location on the south-east coast of Sicily. We would be thrilled to welcome you to our renovated Eighteenth Century Baglio,the name baglio is used to indicate a typical Sicilian rural summer residence, mostly owned by noble families.

The Baglio is a classic Sicilian farmhouse, set in the fragrant grounds of a biologically cultivated citrus orchard yielding mainly a typical lemon called “LIMONE di SIRACUSA”.

Many lanes and paths run through the citrus orchard for relaxing walks or bicycle rides. Runners, be them expert or not, will also enjoy the available routes.

Although surrounded by a classical countryside landscape, the Baglio is just a few hundred meters far from the sea.The eighteenth century manor is amongst the few such buildings in Eastern Sicily.
The Baglio has been finely restored recently, paying particular attention to the selection of materials such as typical stones and local ceramics. 

Including a reception, freshwater pool, sun terrace, outdoor Jacuzzi, sauna, and private beaches a few minutes stroll away; our Baglio offers the perfect tranquil setting for your rest and relaxation.

Accommodations

There are different lodging options, hopefully accommodating to all budgets and preference.

INSPIRAL FLOW CLASSES

InSpiral Flow classes are for everyone who would like to find more strength, confidence, fluidity and flow in both body and mind. All are welcome. It doesn’t matter if you have never done Yoga or Pilates before or if you have been practising for years.

My unique approach is inspired by the body’s innate spiral movements.

Each morning we will practice a dynamic yoga flow class on the beautiful front lawn. The focus will be on improving flexibility and cultivating a sense of ease and well-being.

At sunset we will come together for a core-focused Pilates or Garuda practice to cultivate inner and outer strength and functionality.

Both are infused with my gentle and poetic InSpiral style, which challenges and invigorates without the stress of forcing, fixing or conquering the body.

Whether a slow flow or dynamic class, the journey will invite you to enter into a conversation with your inner self: your body, your mind and your emotions. It is is geared towards the individual who wants to expand their understanding of practice as a means of optimising their well-being.

LOCATION

Discover the unspoilt, breath-taking scenery and baroque heritage of Val di Noto, one of the 47 cultural Italian UNESCO World Heritage Sites, situated in southeastern Sicily.

This side of the coast, offers an incredible and unique mixture of unspoiled nature and wild beaches, alongside history, architectural and gastronomic delights. Mount Etna, one the most active volcanoes in the world, often lights up the dark quite night and surrounding skies awakening your senses with its natural Magia. 

TO THE BEACH

From the farm , following a path that runs through the countryside you can reach the sea.
To reach the beach path is 1400m long while to come to the rocks is 850m.

The sea, as seen from the photos, is crystal clear.

For those who love comfort and traveling by car, the most important seaside resort of Val di Noto are just a few minutes: Fontane Bianche, Lido di Avola, Gallina Beach, San Lorenzo, Vendicari, Carratois.

VICINITY

SIRACUSA AND VICINITIES
The Syracusan territory covers a number of areas of high archaeological, environmental and naturalistic value. 
A few kilometres from the agritourism the archaeological park of Siracusa can be visited to admire the Greek theatre, the Dionysius Ear, the Altar of Hieron. In the old centre of Siracusa, the island of Ortigia, the remains of the temple of Athena (on which the Cathedral was built) and the temple of Apollo can be visited.

NATURAL OASIS

The province of Siracusa is also rich in natural beauties such as the oasis of Vendicari, a natural reserve of primary importance for migratory birds flows, the Cava Grande del Cassibile, a deep canyon (300 mt depth in several points) where an uncontaminated nature and traces dating back to the Neolithic can be found, Pantalica is another interesting archaeological and naturalistic site close by. 

Cava Grande del Cassibile ,the reserve is known for having one of Europe’s biggest canyons, which is about 10 km long and 300 metres deep. The whole area is surrounded by green colours, ponds, natural pools, waterfalls, limestone steep walls, birds and tiny lizards.

If you like nature, panoramic views and trekking, this is the right place to go.

THE FOOD

Our food is Sicilian & it's all local, organic and delicious,enjoy farm-to-table energising breakfast & gourmet lunches or dinners made by our local chefs Silvano, Vera & her famous brother Massimo D`Albani owner of the “ Vieni a Tastari” winner of the “Accademia Panino Italiano . 

GONG BATH MEDITATION

WHAT IS A GONG BATH?

A gong bath is an immersive sound experience. It's called a 'bath'  because sound waves 'wash' over you as you relax and enjoy the melodic journey. The harmonics will effortlessly lull your mind into a meditative state, while the vibrations revitalize your body and help to release tension.These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself. By the end, you'll feel supremely relaxed, calm and happy.

HAPPY GUESTS

From the second we arrived in the idyllic Sicilian setting and entered the dreamy homely accommodation, I was in my element. Everything from having a stroll with my bicycle to the private beach to a hot tub under the stars and  attending each yoga class felt like a treat. I would recommend everyone to do this retreat with Laura as much as they possibly can.

Alison Furey- Doctor

Laura is an amazing and poetic teacher. Her classes are energetic and passionate; she blends her 30 years experience as a choreographer and dancer with her deep knowledge of yoga and Pilates! Her classes at sunset on the beach are awesome! Thanks for a fabulous truly Sicilian Experience!
