We look forward to welcoming you to the land of timeless beauty and vibrant energy, where the azure Mediterranean meets golden sunlight, and every moment feels like coming home… to Sicily.

The Place

Aci Trezza is a charming seaside village located on the eastern coast of Sicily, Italy, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. This picturesque destination is famously known for its striking “Faraglioni” — a group of towering rock formations rising from the sea, which are steeped in legend. According to Greek mythology, these rocks are said to be the remnants of rocks thrown by the Cyclops Polyphemus at Odysseus’ ship.
Aci Trezza is also famous as the setting for the novel I Malavoglia (The House by the Medlar Tree) by the renowned Italian writer Giovanni Verga. The village embodies the essence of Sicilian life, where fishing traditions remain strong and the Mediterranean atmosphere is palpable.

Energy of the island

Sicily radiates an energy unlike anywhere else in the world. It’s in the volcanic soil of Mount Etna, pulsating with the earth’s ancient power. It’s in the golden light that dances over olive groves and the crystalline waves that kiss the shore.

Here, the air is charged with vitality, a natural rhythm that invites you to breathe deeper, move freer, and feel more alive. The island’s energy is both grounding and expansive — a connection to something timeless and immense.

In Sicily, every moment hums with the promise of renewal, reminding you of your own boundless potential.

The Sea

The sea of Sicily is pure magic — a mirror of the sky, shimmering with shades of turquoise, sapphire, and deep cobalt. Its waters hold the stories of ancient mariners and the timeless rhythm of the tides, carrying a peaceful yet invigorating energy.

The salty breeze rejuvenates the senses, while the gentle lapping of waves creates a soothing melody that calms the mind. Swimming in these pristine waters feels like a rebirth — a connection to something vast and eternal.

The sea here isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a source of life, inspiration, and unending serenity.

The Hotel

Escape to serenity at Hotel Malavoglia, Sicily!

Set against the stunning Mediterranean coastline, Hotel Malavoglia is the perfect destination for our Yoga Wellbeing Retreat. Immerse yourself in nature’s tranquility, with breathtaking sea views and peaceful surroundings. Our yoga sessions, held in the specious sala or by the sea, offer a serene space for deep relaxation and mindfulness.

Food

Sicilian cuisine is a celebration of health, flavor, and tradition. Rooted in the Mediterranean diet, it thrives on organic, freshly harvested produce, sun-ripened vegetables, and fragrant herbs. Meals are crafted with love and simplicity, often sourced from family-run farms and served in trattorias where recipes have been passed down for generations.
From vibrant caponata to fresh seafood caught that morning, every dish tells a story of the land and sea. Sicily’s emphasis on whole, natural ingredients creates meals that are not only delicious but deeply nourishing — a true testament to the island’s vitality and zest for life.

Excursion to Siracusa & Noto: A Glimpse of Sicily’s Rich History

Discover the charm of two iconic Sicilian towns: Siracusa and Noto. In Siracusa, we explore the ancient Archaeological Park of Neapolis, home to the grand Greek Theatre and the eerie Ear of Dionysius. We will stroll through Ortigia Island, where you’ll find the stunning Piazza del Duomo and the Cathedral of Siracusa.

Next, we head to Noto, a Baroque gem, renowned for its elegant architecture. Visit the breathtaking Cathedral of San Nicolò and wander along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, admiring its magnificent buildings!

This excursion offers a perfect blend of history, beauty, authentic Sicilian culture and unforgettable experience!

Cooking class and lunch

(optional)

Trust me, you will have an excellent opportunity to showcase your cultural skills! On top of that, you’ll have a wonderful time engaging in a shared activity—preparing lunch for our entire group! A cooking class in Taormina offers a delightful journey into Sicilian cuisine. Under the guidance of local chefs, you’ll learn to prepare traditional dishes using fresh, local ingredients, from handmade pasta to fresh seafood. The class combines hands-on cooking with the beauty of the surrounding landscape, leaving you with delicious memories and a deeper appreciation for Sicily’s rich culinary heritage.

What our guests say about us

I will plan new meetings!

Marianna, Austria

Dear Natasha, Thank you for such a wonderful trip to Sardinia!! The first time I was with you on a retreat in Souris! I liked everything: the nature, the hotel, the location itself is simply stunning in beauty, your Kundalini Yoga classes recharge and give motivation to continue practicing)) The second retreat was even cooler: yoga on the beach at dawn under the sound of waves! Wow!!!' It's amazing! Amazing participants, emotional gatherings, and exciting trips! You always show us the country from the inside, authentic places)) and of course, the organization is always on top!!! Bravo!!!! I will definitely continue to join your retreats!Kisses and hugs, Marianne!

Oksana, Italy

Natasha, thank you so much to you and your Valerio. I get more and more inspired every time, and I admit that you "infected" me, and now I have developed an addiction to such useful "gatherings" and meetings! Those who are looking for balance will definitely "catch" it - I hope my moment is already coming. I must admit, I don't remember what request I went with, but I returned with a lot of answers and bright hope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Katya, Austria

Thank you, Natalia, for organizing the yoga tour, our practices, and the wonderful days. I got everything I came for and enjoyed it immensely! This yoga tour was the first in my life and definitely not the last! I recharged, rested, and at the same time tripled my physical activity! Great organization, beautiful location, interesting company, delicious food, and a separate bed for three nights (moms will understand). It was amazing!

Irina, Germany

Today I finished the Kundalini Yoga course with Natalia. Thank you! This was my first experience in this field, and it is incredibly valuable to me. In my youth, I could only dream of practicing yoga. I had heard about Kundalini, but my mind was clouded by superstitions, so I avoided it. It wasn't until after 40 that I realized its importance. Surprisingly, there is a "pearl" in everything; you just need to see it amidst the whirlwind of days and events.

Tatiana, Italy

Dear Natalia,
Thank you so much for the meticulously planned yoga tour program in Trentino. I loved everything: the perfectly chosen location surrounded by breathtakingly picturesque nature, the good hotel, the interesting hiking program in the mountains, the walk in the enchanted forest, the trekking, and the amazing yoga practice in a scenic spot in nature. Your attentive approach to each participant and the thoughtful planning of each day of the tour were commendable. I was very pleased with the beautiful gifts and surprises, especially the lovely handmade card with wonderful wishes. Thank you so much for the wonderful emotions.

Irina, Italy

I'm thrilled today! Such a surge of strength and energy, I really enjoyed the yoga practice! I didn't expect it to be this way! I haven't had coffee in a long time, but this morning I was running around like an Energizer bunny! With this yoga (Kundalini yoga), I feel like I have wings, truly! It's a kind of happiness! For the first time in maybe 13 years, I even went for a walk around the lake near our house. Natalia, this is some kind of miracle, honestly, thank you so much!

Marianna,Austria

Such retreats are a great opportunity to get out of old programs and not lose this experience afterwards. Therefore, it is important to understand why I was here, what this practice gave me, to trace the process itself - this is the conscious result in the spiritual path of transformation! So many insights! Thank you again for the powerful practices, the energy has risen, the music is gorgeous, the tears of purification!

Irina, Spain

Natasha, thank you so much for the organization, for the positivity, for the wonderful trip and for these unforgettable days in great company. I will always remember every moment of this amazing journey. And to all the girls and Valerio, I am very, very glad to meet everyone, to spend these days with like-minded people, and I sincerely hope to see everyone again and more than once.
