24-31
Family Week
£695
(with discounts for children)
We used to do just one family week. By popular demand, we’re doing two consecutive weeks this year. And, following a feature in The Times in September, the weeks currently have just a few spaces left.
This is a rare chance to have a holistic holiday
as a family.
Drag along the less keen members of the family with the promise of the pool
and pizza. Then get stuck into yoga classes for the parents in the morning,
whilst the children are taught yoga or entertained separately. Spend some
time together during the day, and then wave the kids off to an afternoon
yoga session whilst you have some time for yourselves.
There’s a unique atmosphere on The Hill during Family Week (and very
different to other weeks). It’s a little like going away with friends
and their families and renting a house together. Only you’ve hired
a top Italian chef and some international yoga teachers to keep you all
happy.
You’ll enjoy the organic wine and delicious vegetarian food, looking
out over the Italian hills as the children scream around, looking after
one another, and popping back for some pasta and, yes, chips and ketchup
and ice cream. They’ll swing in the hammocks, bounce on the trampoline
and play table football as you sit and read a book.
And, of course, you’ll go away feeling more relaxed, more supple and
with children that know that ‘the tree’ isn’t just something
to climb.
Guest comment: “An inspiring, moving, sense-awakening time. Having the time to myself in the mornings to do Yoga with the other grown-ups was an essential and beautiful counterbalance to the liveliness of being families. I loved the atmosphere you have created. The divine fresh food. The pool amidst the trees. The dome was enormous fun being there with children dancing, hurling pillows, being exuberant.” Lisa
The price for adults is £695, with a 30% discount for children aged 4-11 and a 20% discount for children aged 12-16.
