information
The approach is wonderfully scenic, as you round the corner and see it perched on the edge of a hill in the distance. A thirty year project of owners Paola and Irish, Locanda del Gallo is a complete gem; it is one of those places where time seems to move more slowly and everyday pressures to be active melt away. Through thoughtful design and incredible taste, this country home has an inviting personality and honest beauty. Maybe it’s a combination of the guest baskets with soft robes, infinity pool and jacuzzi, panoramic yoga studio, Moroccan furnishings, or multi-course plated meals that takes it to the next level… or the underground wellness spa (Hammam) with heated seats, steam room, and refreshing mister that do it.
October is the perfect time to visit Umbria – It’s time for harvesting olives, grapes, chestnuts – the villages are lively – the leaves are changing and the fresh mountain air has a certain kind of Italian magic about it. We invite you to join our amazing group of travelers and yogis on this deeply rich yoga and travel experience. We’ll have 1-2 classes a day and when you’re not in class you’ll be going off to explore a nearby towns and explore the beautiful local culture.
Teachers
BACKGROUND
Adriana Rizzolo is a traditional yoga and meditation teacher, kirtan leader, hair stylist and facilitator of women’s circles. Through her work supporting women to uncover and embody their soul voices, she acts as a guide to the wild and windy path of the authentic heart, and illuminates the power of choosing unconditional love above all else as the way to transform hardship into spiritual growth. She helps others learn how to not only hold safe spaces but brave spaces of realness and depth.
Adriana’s teaching and facilitation is known for its earthy, light-hearted and FUN approach with the ability to take you into places where transformation can occur. Her work comes from over 10 years of training in India and in NewYork. Her expertise is in uncovering the Divine Feminine presence within—a path that manifested organically many years ago when she began a women’s circle in her living room, and it grew to be an internationally known movement.
venue
Background
Welcome to Locanda del Gallo, our country house bed and breakfast located in the peaceful Umbria hills between Gubbio and Perugia. Our luxury, boutique hotel accommodation is immersed in nature. Enjoy our green hills, our gardens, our silence, extreme relaxation in our wellness centre with salt water swimming pool, jacuzzi spa and massage facilities. Let our chef spoil you with healthy and organic cuisine. Gubbio, Perugia, Assisi and Cortona are all within easy reach of the Locanda del Gallo and even Siena, Florence and Rome are not too far.
The Locanda del Gallo has 10 rooms all with private bathroom, each equally fresh and silent, each different from one another. The furnishings adorning every room were all hand-picked and brought back one by one from many distant journeys made by Paola and Irish, the owners of the Locanda del Gallo. There is no television, nothing to disturb the peace and tranquillity.
Organic tomatoes, salad leaves and vegetables from the kitchen garden. Olive oil from the olive grove, aromatic herbs from the garden, yogurt, cakes and home-made breads. In the finest traditions of Mediterranean cuisine everything is natural, everything is genuine.
Prominently situated on a ridge which stretches into the centre of the valley, The Locanda del Gallo commands fine views over its 28 hectares of gardens, terraced lawns and woodland. Stroll at leisure through the olive grove, inhale the scent of roses and herbs, or simply curl up with a book under the shade of the old elm tree. The gardens hold many hidden gems and secret corners for you to discover. In one, an ecological chlorine-free swimming pool, encircled by comfortable sun loungers and close by the sybaritic delight of an outdoor Jacuzzi whirlpool spa.
Or descend a few steps and enter the small Moorish style spa, let your tensions slip away in the Turkish bath and then immerse yourself in a cloud of cool, refreshing, mint scented water, before heading for the peace of the salon overlooking the verdant landscape to sip a tisane, or read a book, or revive yourself under the hands of our masseuse.
