Ristorante Agricola Samadhi

I had an incredible stay here, even in the cold winter months. The food was truly wonderful, and I loved the atmosphere: a very serious yoga practice combined with a fresh, warm, casual Italian flair. The winter season created a quiet, focused environment that made it especially conducive to deep practice.

We drove 100kms to go there and we weren't disappointed. The place is away from the busy city life. We were warmly welcomed. There is no menu and we were serves the course of that day which started with an excellent warm soup that was very tasty. Then we had so much food. From some little tarts that tasted like falafel but also vegetables dishes, delicious tempura with its creamy sauce, some chickpeas salads too. Portions are generous so i recommend to go there hungry

This place is stunning. A gorgeous secluded campus dedicated to good food and good yoga. The grounds and gardens are lush and beautifully landscaped with an eye for creating spaces made for relaxation and introspection. The staff are friendly, efficient, helpful and professional. There are several yoga spaces, from the small and intimate to a quite large hall that can accommodate 50 people or more, ideal for a yoga teacher training or other event. Did I already mention the delicious fresh and wholesome food? Every meal was well thought out, by an inspired chef and kitchen staff. There's also a very stylish large swimming pool and spacious sauna to enjoy on your free time between yoga sessions, plus, lots of winding trails that provide time and space for reflection in a quiet, natural and healing setting. I will definitely be back again!

I was very fortunate to spend several weeks at Agricola Samadhi from spring into summer, and really loved every minute of my stay. When one takes a spiritual retreat, whether it be a yoga retreat or yoga teacher training, it is important that the location gives enough support without being distracting, and is cozy enough to feel settled right away. This place really fits that description. It is quiet, comfortable, beautiful, and has a charm/character which is not over the top, yet encourages one to appreciate the little things. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL, there were soo many wildflowers. One of the highlights is the kindness of the staff, from the moment i was picked up at the airport, to arrival, to the food… they will really be aware of and support any special needs. The food is amazing, well balanced, and interesting, really prepared with love by a very gifted and enthusiastic vegan chef and his team. Many things prepared came straight from the onsite garden. The bedrooms are simple yet comfortable, affording just enough space for what you need. The yoga shalas/rooms (there are 3) are absolutely beautiful, as well as naturally beautifully lit, which for me is important. There are places to study, I spent a lot of time around the gorgeous pool. Many of my colleagues received massages and booked for a second and third time, so I imagine them to be wonderful. While I didn’t book myself, the spa is another highlight… you can relax and decompress in the beautiful sauna after a day of practice and study. Sizewise everything is close enough together that you can make a lot out of a 30 minute break… at another retreat center i spent a lot of time walking to and from and this was never an issue. I will remember fondly my time here, recommend to all, and can’t wait to come back! Thank you to all the team, and special thanks to the owner Francesca, who transformed this place into an oasis with apparent love from her heart. 🤩🌿❣️🇮🇹

We went there only for dinning. A menu prices was 35€, which included wine and water and lots of vegan dishes, probably most of them was produced locally. Some of them was great, most them was nothing special, and waaay too much, i think 7-8 dishes, including foccaccia and the pasta. Why do they serve bad tomato pasta in Italy? I know it is vegan but this is a vegan dish anyhow? Or at least they could buy fresh pasta… Overall even I liked the concept and the service, I would not recommend this place only if you doing a yoga camp there.

We spent a week for an astanga retreat with Lauren and Cathy at this idyllic location in Zollino, Puglia (near Lecce). The yoga was amazing with self practice in the morning and workshops in the early evenings, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the swimming pool and sight seeing in the area. Trips Otranto and Lecce were amazing. The Thai massage was also delightful. The staff was helpful. The food from Gianfranco and the lovely Anna was surpassed our expectation. I would definitely come back.

A magical place! The whole team is wonderful and at all times I felt at home! In Agricola Samadhi you breathe fresh air and you are surrounded by nature all time! We couldn't get out of there for a month due to the covid while we did our training but none of us missed going out as we were doing great there! By the way the food is amazing!!! Thank you Francesca and the whole team, hope to see you soon.
