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.

Flight Suggestions
The closest airport to our Yoga Eco Farm is Brindisi.
- Our recommendation is to buy a ticket from NYC to any major Italian or European airport (e.g. Milano Malpensa, or London), 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.
- For instance, you could check using ItaAirways, NeoasAir to fly into Milan. 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!
