About Masseria della Zingara

Masseria della Zingara, the house of the gypsy, was built in 1710 and has been lovingly restored to suit all ages and tastes. The interior is stylish and comfortable and has been restored with the highest attention to detail.

Set in over 20 acres of land with olive, fig, cherry and almond trees, the views are stunning at all times of the year. The house has a swimming pool and wonderful sun terrace for soaking up the Italian sun and the calm of the countryside. You may choose to borrow the bicycles and explore the local region or just relax and unwind. Close to Polignano a Mare (also known as the ice cream capital of Italy) and Monopoli, this holiday offers not only yoga but the very best in Italian food.

Situated on a ridge of hills extending the length of Puglia, Masseria della Zingara, is close to a series of scattered white-walled medieval towns and villages each boasting their own culinary specialities. Heading down through the olive plains to the sea where there are many fabulous beaches to explore. This is the perfect place to restore and rejuvenate your soul.

The daily programme

Join Lisa for a week of revitalising yoga at the beautiful Masseria. A wonderful opportunity for you to relax your mind, rejuvenate your body and reawaken your spirit in beautiful Puglia, Italy. You will enjoy two yoga classes daily which focus on movement, breath and relaxation.

Client Reviews

The yoga retreat with Lisa Dunn and Jan, our host, at the Masseria was absolutely incredible! I could go on and on about yoga with Lisa, Jan, the food and the entire experience. Amazing!
Sheila
My experience at Masseria in Puglia with Lisa was more then I even imagined! From the second we got there we were treated like queens (and kings). Lisa’s yoga was top-notch I couldn’t get enough of her teachings and Jan at Masseria was THE sweetest lady I think I’ve ever met. So warm and welcoming. And the food! Momma Mia! I was in Italian coma bliss! It’s was an over the top beautiful experience. I loved it! I am hooked on yoga retreats now.

Kate
There are no words big enough to describe the most incredible time I've had. Feeling re-energised, re-vitalised and re-juvenated! Made many great friends and am so so sad today. Missing you all (and the meditation & yoga!). I've never had such an amazing experience. I think your holidays should be on prescription really!
Zoe
I had a wonderful holiday and I found everything perfectly organised! Not least the prompt and friendly email communication with you. The yoga, accommodation, food, pool, masseria, everything exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to book another yoga holiday with you again in future.
