Your Yoga & Fitness Retreat
Sicily, 2026
You cannot buy happiness...
but a retreat in Sicily
is pretty close
1 – 4 October 2026
Venue: Zen Sicily
Noto (SR), Sicily, Italy
Picture this…
Daily yoga & fitness session
Pasta & tiramisù workshops
Olive oil training and tasting
Scenic countryside landscape
Mild weather
Delicious Sicilian food straight
from the vegetable garden
Imagine a wooden terrace overlooking the sea right in the middle of a green and soft lawn.
Our location for this magical retreat is called Zen Sicily, a family business that comes from the heart. Their story begins with an old house, built in the XIX century in the middle of the Sicilian countryside. Healthy delicious food coming from their own vegetable garden cooked with love, cozy accomodations to relax and the most welcoming family ready to take care of any needs are what makes this place unique.
This venue features both indoor and outdoor yoga rooms (shalas), including all the yoga equipment that you need: mats, bolsters, blocks, blankets and more. Air conditioning and mosquito nets are also available on location. Extra treatments such as massages can also be arranged.

Your teacher
Alice Cascio (ITA-NL)
Let Alice take you to wonderland! Italian by blood, Dutch by address. I am a certified personal trainer and yoga teacher born and raised in the beautiful island of Sicily, but based in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) for many years now. My identity is now a joyful blend of Italian warmth and Dutch practicality, and I bring that mix of passion and balance into everything I teach. Sicily for me is not just a stunning holiday destination, it is home. And I am looking forward to giving you not only a fancy holiday, but also gifting you with a warm, magical and holistic experience that you will bring in your heart.
Like many people, I also have an office job and I truly believe in what I do behind my desk, but I also know that it can sometimes be energy draining from a physical as well as mental perspective. Thus, I enjoy complementing my office life with practicing and teaching yoga & fitness. I believe in intentional movement that supports our bodies in the long term. Because after all, this body is what carries us through life.
