Sicily - a world of its own

Welcome to your sanctuary—a peaceful haven for you and your little one to unwind, connect, and grow.

Our retreat is designed to nurture both body and soul, with activities and workshops for mums and little ones alike. From calming wellness sessions and invigorating movement classes to inspiring workshops, every moment is crafted to support you on your motherhood journey.

Set amidst beautiful natural surroundings, this intimate gathering of around 10 mums and babies creates the perfect space to build meaningful connections. At the heart of our retreat is a shared commitment to community—fostering bonds that often blossom into lifelong friendships.

Join us for a transformative experience where relaxation, movement, connection, and personal growth come together in harmony.

A Taste of Sicily, Made with Love

At our retreat, food is at the heart of the experience—nourishing, comforting, and lovingly prepared by a local Sicilian mum and chef who brings authentic flavors and a home-cooked touch to every meal.

Our menu is primarily vegetarian, celebrating the fresh, seasonal ingredients of the region, with a special fish night and meat night to offer a delightful taste of Sicily’s culinary heritage. Meals are thoughtfully crafted so that babies and toddlers can easily join in, with baby-friendly options always available to ensure little ones are well-fed and happy.

We understand that everyone has different needs, which is why special dietary requirements are happily accommodated—ensuring all feel nourished and cared for.

Each day features a relaxed long brunch and dinner, offering plenty of time to enjoy delicious dishes and connect with other mums. For lunch, you can enjoy a more flexible approach with fresh fruit, homemade cakes, and the option to prepare your own sandwiches.

Sit back, savor the flavors, and enjoy the simple pleasure of sharing good food with great company.
