Home › Retreats › Yoga & Mindfulness Reset in the Bologna Hills
Italy · 4 days · From USD 2045
The retreat is centered on the five pillars of health that Dr. Acquaviva outlines in her book 'Health Revolution'. These pillars are applied practically through your schedule: yoga and Pilates sessions work on movement and flexibility, nature therapy in the ornamental gardens connects you with the outdoors, and the Ginkgo Longevity Restaurant serves meals designed with strategic food combinations to support physical and mental performance. You'll also have a Longevity check-up and sleep assessment, plus a masterclass on wellbeing strategies you can take home.
Unlike a pure spa break, this retreat includes a strong educational and coaching element. You'll meet Dr. Acquaviva and her team at the start to personalize your stay, and you'll receive an Acquaviva Method welcome kit with a tracksuit and sleep tracking band to wear throughout. The program is structured to build awareness of your own habits, with a focus on sleep, stress, and nutrition, and it's recommended to start on a Thursday or Sunday to align with the schedule.
The setting itself is part of the experience. Palazzo di Varignana is a 1705 country castle surrounded by a contemporary village, with ornamental gardens (part of the Grandi Giardini Italian network), vineyards for a bio walking session, and the option to explore nearby Bologna. The resort has five restaurants, a royal train where you'll enjoy a wellbeing aperitif, and extensive spa facilities including various saunas, pools, and a grotto. It's a place that feels removed from daily life, even though the city is only 19 kilometers away.
