Accommodations
If you love and crave Nature, and value sustainable living and tourism, you'll enjoy staying in the traditional stone structures at our yoga eco farm Orto Dell'Idro and at Casa Delle Api, a neighboring historical home. You'll be immersed in the countryside, surrounded by organic fruit orchards and vegetable gardens. A charming rural setting just 5 minutes walk from the beach and the historical center of Otranto. We offer accommodation for max 10 people, in private, semi-private and shared rooms. It's an intimate retreat!
ORTO DELL'IDRO is our Yoga Eco Farm, where we'll have most of our activities. This is a place for Nature lovers, who enjoy the outdoors and rural life, while being really close to the sea and the center of town. It is a farm designed following the principles of Permaculture to create natural ecosystems that are abundant and in harmony with all living creatures. We hope you appreciate and share these values!
This is a natural setting so if you are not comfortable or familiar with the presence of insects or animals (e.g. geckos, snails, armadillo insects, etc) that are typical of the countryside, this may not be the place for you. We also have 5 cats that may sit on your chair and laps, or try to eat your food if left unattended. We don't use pesticides nor chemicals, and we try to reduce waste as much as possible: reduce, reuse, recycle.
