Each day will start with a invigorating yoga class. Spend afternoons meeting the local baker, learning to cook risotto from the local master, hiking in the surrounding hills, or visiting the nearby, famous wine region In the evenings we will learn from local wine experts and relish shared meals.
The recently-renovated, boutique hotel sits among the mountains in the small hamlet. The 20 unique, bright rooms offer comfortable accommodations.
