Pilates, quality accommodation, private catering and a whole programme of activities. While you relax, we look after all the details so that all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your trip.
Why come on a Pilates holiday?
A week of Italian sunshine, set amidst olive and lemon trees in the stunning gardens of our hand picked villas, Pilates everyday improving your technique,(optional cooking lessons) great wine
and wonderful food, beautiful pool and jacuzzi. Time for sightseeing, wine tasting, shopping, relaxing, and sunbathing. All wrapped up in a bundle of fun and friendship! You can do everything
or you can do very little, we are very aware that this is YOUR time, so you get to choose! You may arrive knowing no one, but you will leave with a wealth of friends and lifetime memories. Our guests
keep returning (we must be doing something right!) and sometimes twice a year!
Our Pilates holidays are suitable for all levels. We will contact you prior to your holidays to discuss all your relevant requirements and medical history. This allows for your Pilates experience to
be totally personalised.
The Benefit - "Pilates is the single most efficient and effective exercise you can do"
Pilates has become the ultimate in fitness techniques. It lengthens, strengthens and tones the body, working on the deep postural muscles through slow controlled exercises and correct body posture.
Suitable for first time exercisers, very safe for those with back problems - Pilates is fully supported by medical professionals, yet it can challenge the top athlete!
The Itinerary here is purely a sample and will depend on which venue and activity you choose.

Afternoon relaxing by the pool. An early evening Pilates lesson at the villa followed by dinner
at Da Vittorio’s stunning beach side restaurant as the sun begins to set. Giorgio Locatelli
recently said .... My favourite place is Da Vittorio Ristorante, a fish restaurant on the beach in Porto Palo di Menfi. There's no menu, but the antipasti might include red prawns, octopus in oil and
lemon juice or marinaded anchovies - whatever the fishermen have caught that day - and the mains might be pasta with sea urchins, pasta with mixed seafood, or catch of the day grilled on the
barbecue.Daily Telegraph 2015
Friday
Pilates before breakfast. Departure for Marsala and optional wine tasting. Marsala is a lovely
Baroque town famous for the dessert wine of the same name, which was actually created by a
