Locanda Cugnanello sits on its own in the Tuscan countryside at Solaio, Anqua, outside Radicondoli in the province of Siena. The property is a villa of around 800 years, fully renovated — guests describe it as spotless and modern inside while keeping the stone, beams and history of the original building. Lavender fields, flowers and olive and lemon trees surround it.
Yoga happens in two spaces: an indoor shala and a yurt used for yoga and meditation. There is also a covered outdoor terrace, a swimming pool, an outdoor wood-burning sauna and an outdoor fire pit. Inside there is a dining room with a fireplace, a wine cellar and indoor gym space. A traditional wood-burning pizza oven is used for outdoor meals.
Food is Italian and cooked on site — breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the dining room or on the terrace. Guests who have stayed write about fresh Italian cooking and the wine, and about the owners, Alex and Jasmine, being professional but friendly and personally involved in the week.
The team handles the logistics around the yoga: transfers, excursions to well-known Tuscan towns, and extra activities can be planned before arrival. That planning support is part of what the venue offers groups and individual guests booking a retreat week.
What separates this from a purpose-built retreat centre is the building and the land around it. You are staying in a renovated medieval residence in a quiet corner of Tuscany, with the pool, sauna and pizza oven on the property, and the towns of the Val d'Elsa and Siena within driving distance for day trips.
