The Experience

If you cherish nature, embrace sustainable living, and long for an authentic rural escape, our Yoga Eco Farm, Orto Dell’Idro, offers a truly unique stay. Nestled among organic orchards and vegetable gardens, our traditional stone dwellings and glamping tents provide a peaceful retreat—just a 5-minute walk from both the beach and Otranto’s historic center.
With space for max 11 guests, we offer private and shared accommodations, fostering an intimate and community-focused experience. While we strive to meet your lodging preferences, due to limited availability we may suggest room or tent sharing. Thank you for embracing the community spirit of this special retreat! ​ 

​Our Yoga Eco Farm 
Orto Dell’Idro is the heart of this vacation, a sanctuary for nature lovers who cherish the outdoors and a sustainable rural simple lifestyle, all while being just 5 min walk from the sea and Otranto’s historic center. Designed with Permaculture principles, our farm supports self-sustaining ecosystem, minimizing waste and fostering harmony with all living beings. We hope you share and appreciate these values!
As a true natural haven, expect to encounter countryside companions such as geckos, snails, armadillo insects, mosquitos, spiders and hants. If you think you may be uncomfortable with this, our retreat may not be the best fit. We also have friendly farm cats, known for stealing chairs, seeking cuddles, and occasionally eyeing unattended food.
Committed to an eco-conscious lifestyle, we use no pesticides and follow the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle—because sustainability is at the core of what we do!

Flight Suggestions

The closest airport to our Yoga Eco Farm is Brindisi, but also Bari works fine.
- Our recommendation is to buy a ticket from NYC to any major Italian or European airport (e.g. Milano Malpensa, or Amsterdam), and then buy another separate ticket from there to Brindisi, maybe planning a layover of a day or two - if you have that luxury - to get over the jet lag and visit a beautiful city.
You can also fly into Bari and then take a train all the way to Otranto.
- For instance, you could check using ItaAirways, NeoasAir to fly into Milan o Bari. Then there are low-cost airlines such as RyanAir and EasyJet with affordable flights to Brindisi. Note that they are so inexpensive only if you travel with a small luggage, otherwise they get pricier.
- Airport transfers: we can help coordinate with drivers and other participants.
- Don't wait too long: the prices are raising!

Reservations & Cancellation Policy

- In order to book your participation in the retreat we require a $300 non refundable deposit. Please let us know your lodging preferences, and we'll do our best to honor them but they're not guaranteed due to the limited accommodation options.
- The balance is due no later than 2 weeks prior to departure.
- If you can't attend the retreat for personal reasons, we won't offer any refunds, and the deposit will be lost.
- In case of unforeseen exceptional events forcing us to cancel the retreat, we'll fully refund any amount that was paid up to that point.

Local Cuisine

We'll offer organic farm-to-table vegetarian food, harvested either at our farm or at local producers. 
​We can accommodate gluten-free and vegan dietary restrictions, as well as allergies. Please give us advanced notice!
