Castello Higo | Yoga Retreat Venue in Tuscany, Italy

Yoga & Pilates Retreat in the Heart of Tuscany

Castello Higo sits just south of Siena, in the heart of Tuscany's UNESCO-protected landscape. The retreat centre is surrounded by rolling green hills, vineyards, and olive groves, and our historic country house welcomes you with a stunning cypress-lined drive. This is pure Tuscany.

Our elegant 18th-century castle has been carefully restored to welcome yoga and Pilates retreats from around the world. Our concierge, Jacopo, welcomes and hosts you throughout your stay, making everything feel effortless.

The villa is fully equipped for up to 20 guests, and our fresco-covered shala is definitely the highlight. Two large French doors fill the room with light while the hand-painted frescoes arch overhead. On warm mornings, practice moves outside onto the lawns, between olive trees and historic gardens.

After yoga or Pilates, unwind by our 15-metre pool with views over Siena, surrounded by Tuscan olive groves and lemon trees.
