TESTIMONIALS
Perfect week to recharge
It was a perfect combination of yoga sessions and activities. Madeleine made us feel very welcome and we adored each yoga session. We loved to be in the middle of a vivid mountain town and at the same time the tranquility of the property and the surroundings. Madeleine and her little family created a very special place with a unique atmosphere.
Experience life differently : with more simplicity
Set in the Italian countryside, ARO is a beautiful and newly renovated house where Madeleine & Bob are inviting their guests to experience life differently : with more simplicity. Expect a week filled with daily yoga sessions, breathing exercises, delicious Italian foods and hikes to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding mountains. If you’re looking to unplug from your daily life, I can only recommend this yoga retreat.
A peaceful escape with meaningful practices
The retreat offered the perfect balance of yoga, relaxation, and connection to nature. Madeleine’s warmth and expertise made every session special. The location in the Italian countryside was breathtaking, and the atmosphere of the retreat truly helped me unwind and reconnect. I left feeling recharged, centered, and grateful for the experience.
