Sole Dream Holidays is so thrilled to return to our special place along the famed Italian Riviera in the glorious region of Cinque Terre, Italy, Jun 17-22, 2024. Here along the Ligurian Coast is some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on earth! Cinque Terre, or ‘five villages‘ is comprised of colorful houses and vineyards that cling to steep terraces and harbors filled with fishing boats and beaches dotted with candy-colored umbrellas. The Sentiero Azzurro cliffside hiking trail links the villages and offers sweeping sea vistas. It truly is one of the most heavenly places for a wellness adventure in Italy!

ACCOMMODATIONS + MEALS
Our retreat takes place at a charming, family-owned B&B in Levanto. This darling seaside town is just 5 minutes away from the neighboring Cinque Terre, but far enough for a divine and peaceful wellness and discovery retreat. In the summer, the official Cinque Terre can be a bit hectic for a relaxing vacation, so we chose the most perfect location, yet still a hike, boat or train ride away to all of the towns. The lovely & modern decorated guest rooms ensure an incredible night’s rest with the most comfortable luxury linens & pillows. Each bright and spacious guest room is ensuite with bright and spacious baths. There is also a complimentary mini bar, bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer and wifi.

A delicious and hearty breakfast is included daily at our wonderful location. Fresh fruits and juices, eggs made-to-order, cheeses, local breads and heavenly sweets are all part of our daily post-yoga meal.
We have included a variety of other delicious dining! Our Welcome Dinner will be a special gathering to indulge in local specialties. Our last evening is a very exciting Farewell Dinner including local wine & prosecco with views to die for! Plus, delicious seafood on our boat excursion and a pesto cooking class with tastings. We like to keep the other evenings open for those who want to experience a variety of delicious dining options.

YOGA + PILATES CORE
Twice per day we will practice outdoors with the sounds of sweet birds to accompany us! Your host, Shari will guide you through a vigorous vinyasa flow or pilates core and during the week we will also include a restorative session post-hike. As always, Shari will listen to what the group needs and adjust accordingly for the best wellness experience!

There are several incredible excursions on our Charming Cinque Terre summer retreat to complement both our experience:

SUNSET BOAT & APERITIVO: We will take a glorious boat tour along the picturesque coastline of the Cinque Terre at sunset. It will be the most incredible time to try our our photographer skills. Plus, swimming in the cobalt sea and sipping on bubbly prosecco. We will also share a wonderful aperitivo of seafood, pasta and wine.

GUIDED 1/2 DAY HIKE: Time to stretch our yoga legs out with a gorgeous, half-day hike through the stunning Cinque Terre. Our guide is an expert of the area and will show us the best views of sea and mountain. 

PESTO-MAKING CLASS: The Italian Riviera is home to pesto, so of course we need to take a class on how to make it and then eat it! We will make it by hand with the freshest ingredients and then enjoy the fruits of our labors with wine, of course.
