The venue

Yoga Shala
Yoga classes are held in the shade of the stunning shaded platform or in the calm indoor yoga space.

Food
Mealtimes will be a time to indulge in delicious, nutritious vegetarian food, so you can enjoy maximum energy and buzzing vitality throughout your stay.
Using only the finest and freshest local produce, provided by an excellent chef using our own produce from the garden.

Friday evening is dinner in a restaurant in a village nearby and this is not included in the price.

Food allergies and other specific dietary requirements can be catered for. Please just let us know asap before you arrive.

Rooms are designed in a simple, natural style, combining old and new. Every guest room is unique. Furnishings and fabrics complement the buildings and their natural surroundings.

Triple, twin or double sharing rooms available. Ensuite rooms are on a first booked first served basis.

The yurts are outdoor tents (circular, almost 3m diameter and made of canvas) with a bed and bedding inside. Comfortable and clean and very nicely designed they can be hot during the day in the sun and sometimes cold at night.

There is no electricity inside - just simple solar lighting, so are suited to those who like ‘comfortable camping’. The toilet is about 60m away and there are 2 outdoor warm showers to share with the others.

Single offsite accommodation

There is extra accommodation on a property five minute’s walk from In Sabina. There are two double bedrooms available for single occupancy with ensuite bathrooms in a self-contained gatehouse, suitable for those who would like private accommodation or who enjoy being a little away from the main group. The bedrooms are in good condition and comfortable; however, they are smaller, and do not boast the level of design and quality of the bedrooms at In Sabina.

For those who book these rooms the rest of the property is not available for use (including the swimming pool) as the owner and his family are often there. Guests spend most of their time at In Sabina which has its own swimming pool and extended gardens and grounds.

€120 car (up to 3 passengers) 
€170 small minibus (up to 8 passengers) 
€250 large minibus (9 - 16 passengers) 

There will be a return journey transfer (same prices as above) from In Sabina at 10am to Rome's Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) airport on 22nd June arriving approx 11:30am.

Logistics

Arrival and Departure at In Sabina
