Cielo Retreats

Not everyone enjoys to play favorite, but we do… And I have to say, the Surfstead wins our favorite retreat offering this year. It might be because of the animal presence everywhere, the land connection, or Julia’s cooking. It was just magical - just like the light in the first video of Alex and Jiao. Just letting you know for next year. 😉

FOOD.

During our Italian retreats in the Eolie Islands and Toscana, we talk about the Italian feel for luxury and romanticism. But we also talk a lot about food, from morning to night. Cravings. Morning caffè. Lunch. Granita for an afternoon snack. Arancini.

A special mention to granita during our Eolie retreat: a traditional Sicilian semi-frozen dessert made with water, sugar, and flavourings. It has a grainy, icy texture, somewhere between sorbet and shaved ice.

And a special mention to mandorla (almond). 🤌🏼

Feeling blue 💙🌀🩵 Eolie Retreat • Last opportunity to sail this year in December in Gwad before a seasonal break until the Summer with Sails & Souls ⛵

On aime avoir une ligne directrice, un alignement et une histoire qui s’écrit et qui se raconte. Un visionnement d’une grande traversée en boutique, une sortie sur l’eau et ensuite les maillots qui nous accompagnent jusqu’en Italie. Un beau partenariat avec Othersea

A prelude, a glimpse of what awaited us before sailing off to the Eolie Isole. We could observe each of the 7 Isola from Sicilia. A live painting in motion, shifting with the light and the colors.

Welcome to Sicilia. In Canada, cozy season is here, and Japan is welcoming its first snow, but in the Mediterranean, summer is still very much alive. Tomorrow, we set sail towards the Aeolian Islands for seven nights.
