A Pilates/ Yoga Retreat with The View Studio doesn’t involve a week-long wine ban or a strict fermented food only diet. Our first ever retreat is the very best of The View Studio, only with better weather, delicious food, great views and idyllic surroundings thrown in for good measure. A million miles from the real world, and just twenty minutes from St Tropez, Villa de la Verne is a six bedroom ‘barefoot luxury’ retreat in the vineyard draped hills west of St Tropez. This is the an excellent opportunity for you to get healthy or recharge on holiday together with fun, like-minded people.
