Retreats and Residencies

We have had more requests for painting, yoga, riding, cooking and foraging than ever and George, Gioconda and Amber’s programmes are so full that they have had to add on extra dates (see below).

There is a real shift and sign that things are changing and that a perfect holiday is one where you are left in peace to do as you please and remove yourself from reality for a while. 

Stroll in the olive groves, read, write, paint and help yourself to our extensive library, or do nothing much except sleep. For those who require a more active holiday there is also riding, tennis and walking. The large swimming pool is surrounded by a courtyard and overlooks a vast unspoilt landscape. (*Please note the swimming pool has no child proof fencing or lifeguard). The tennis court is a five minute stroll away through the chestnut woods.

The Yoga Studio is also a dream of tranquility and I encourage any teachers to get in touch and bring their groups.

I think travellers seem to want something more interesting and less structured these days, taking time out to to explore, switch off, get healthier and take your time to look around, paint, read and walk by re-connecting to the spectacular landscapes around us. This spring, after the rains, the wild flowers have been out of this world.

So all you have to do is take a deep breath and enjoy all the natural delights of Trasierra with none of the fuss. Trasierra’s charm is that it is a family home: designed for people who appreciate beauty, comfort, delicious food and peace. 

Lily Moncreiffe will be out artist in residence this year from early May. She is a wonderful painter and will be working herself and very happy to give lessons.

Amber holds four annual Hill Yoga retreats, two in Spring and two in Autumn, with Gioconda.
