Slow Living in Puglia, Italy
10 – 14 November, 2025

A modern Masseria, an elegant environment, a retreat created for those seeking a peaceful atmosphere between nature, good food, design and beauty.


Pause, reset, and find joy

The perfect Italian escape. Set in the comfort of Masseria Moroseta, a modern country house with a sustainable sensibility and an eye for design.

Join Ruben and the Moroseta Team on an intimate journey to tranquility and peace. Combining Yoga, curated authentic flavours, and escapes to the sea, this retreat is a chance to pause and embrace the beauty of life.

Rest by the pool or visit the ceramic’s dream capital of Grottaglie. An escape to indulge in the pleasures of slow living.


Accomodation

The modern farmhouse sits in the Apulian countryside outside the hilltop town of Ostuni, overlooking five hectares of olive groves and the Adriatic sea. This white-stone sustainable Masseria is structured like a typical ‘Pugliese’ farmhouse, but with modern enhancements of solar power, green building techniques, and contemporary pieces.

This is — without a doubt — the most stylish Masseria Puglia has to offer.

Masseria Moroseta consists of six king-size double rooms with a large bathroom and a private garden allowing guests space for privacy, reflection, and silence.

Nutrition

Masseria Moroseta is authentic hospitality, combined with a project of a farm on a human scale. The kitchen plays a central role: food has the ability to unite people beyond all distinctions, exciting everyone with authentic flavours.

The cuisine is based on the knowledge of the Mediterranean tradition with a selection of the best raw materials, privileging fresh local, organic and seasonal products.

Expect traditional meals from Puglia with a contemporary twist inspired by grain-free, ayurvedic, raw vegan, or macrobiotic cooking.

Included are a daily brunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, and a cooking demonstration by the team at Moroseta Kitchen.

  • Ruben does a great job of planning the schedule for his retreats – the pace of the yoga practices and the space for rest mixed in with optional planned activities. I really appreciate Ruben's style of teaching, the way he structures his classes and flows. I highly recommend Ruben's retreats and look forward to the next one!

  • Ruben put together a great program! Every detail was taken care of and all we had to do was enjoy the experience. The villa was beautiful and the food was outstanding! We all had a great time.

    Bernie (US), 2024

  • I haven’t stopped telling all my friends about Ruben’s retreat. His experience in ballet gives him a unique understanding of the body, its ability and its limits. Most of all his sense of fun creates an ambiance which turns a random group of people into friends.

  • Highly recommend to anyone whether a beginner or more advanced student. Ruben's retreats are always beautifully curated; amazing location and lots of beautiful details to soothe your mind’s eye.

    — Doireann (UK), 2023

  • The Tuscany retreat was an amazing experience. The combination of yoga, amazing food and wine together with lovely activities such as pasta making, wine tasting, and ceramics was so good. Ruben is a fantastic yoga teacher, who’ll give you the confidence and the good feeling about your yoga practice.
