During this retreat, you will be staying in Floripa Yoga & Kitesurf House. Their team believes in living a healthy life in harmony with nature and the rhythm of the sea, and you will see this reflected in your rooms, the gardens, meals, and the service to you. The bed and breakfast is run by Ettore, who runs the kitesurfing school, with the help of a team of friends who have been enjoying working together for several years.
Many guests have become friends and keep coming back every season, which creates a beautiful, familiar atmosphere. Do not worry if you will be traveling by yourself, because at Floripa, it is very easy to make friends with other guests and also with the staff and the dogs.
The bed and breakfast is located 30 meters away from the sandy dune beach of Santa Maria del Focallo. The stunning beach is 13 kilometers long and was awarded the Blue Flag for the cleanliness of its waters.
It is the ideal place to relax and have a deep contact with the sea and the elements. Accommodation can be in a private room, a shared room for two to five persons, or a suite room with a private veranda. The bed and breakfast is composed of three houses surrounded by a lush garden. All the rooms have been designed for your comfort and relaxation with modern simplicity and color.
With hot and cold air conditioning, a refrigerator, a private bathroom, and Wi-Fi, you will have all the benefits of a hotel with the warmth and freedom that only a bed and breakfast can give you.
The shared rooms can host four persons and they come with one ensuite bathroom. There is an extra bathroom on the ground floor that the guests can use, as well as hot outside showers. It’s a great alternative if you will be traveling on a tight budget and would love to be in the good company of other people who share the same passion for yoga and surf lifestyle!
If you know that you have a snoring problem or are a light sleeper, then Floripa Yoga & Kitesurf House would recommend a single room.
All guests will have access to Floripa’s yoga shalas, beach loungers, and community spaces, plus optional water sports, standup paddleboarding (SUP), or massage sessions.

Professeurs
Eva Drabkova
Eva (agréée YACEP et E-RYT 500h) est l'enseignante principale de Floripa.

La pratique se développe graduellement vers des poses difficiles, en respectant les besoins individuels. Ses formations des enseignants sont enrichies par des enseignements modernes et traditionnels sur l'esprit et la conscience (neurosciences, védas et tantras) et sont axées sur l'exploration de ses propres capacités physiques et mentales.
Lieu
Ragusa is one of the most picturesque towns in Sicily. The view from the upper town over Ragusa Ibla on its own separate hilltop is quite breathtaking. It is also one of the UNESCO-listed Baroque towns of southeastern Sicily. Ragusa is in the Monti Iblei, a large area of high ground, divided up by dry stone walls and incised with ravines.
The town was originally built on a small, steep-sided hill with deep valleys on three sides separating it from the high plateau. After the earthquake of 1693, which destroyed many of southeastern Sicily's buildings, it was decided to rebuild Ragusa on higher, more level ground nearby.
This new planned town was built, with straight streets and a rational layout, but local aristocrats did not want to move and instead built themselves new palazzi on the ruins of the old town.
Nowadays Ragusa has two parts: Ibla (or Ragusa Ibla), the older nucleus on its hilltop, and Ragusa Superiore, the more modern upper town which spreads from the post-earthquake streets into more recent developments. Like all Sicilian towns, Ragusa has its share of ugly modern sprawl, but this is well away from the historic center, which is remarkably unspoiled.

Floripa Yoga & Kitesurf House does not serve fish, and they serve meat usually once a week on Saturday during a barbecue. However, there will always be vegetarian options even on barbecue nights.
The breakfasts and dinners are buffet style, so you will find dishes that you can eat most of the time. When you sign up for meals, just write a remark with your eating style / special dietary requirements, and the cook will make sure to have something for you.

Activités et lieux à visiter

In addition, from Floripa Yoga & Kitesurf House, you can also rent a motorbike or a car and have a nice trip of the cities around, like Ragusa, Noto, Marzamemi, Scicli, and Modica. A range of other activities will be available during your holiday. Some of these options may include additional costs.
Be amazed by historic sites
The beach town of Santa Maria del Focallo is located only a few kilometers away from Scicli, Modica, Ragusa Ibla, and Noto, which are beautiful baroque cities designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and are easily reached by car.
Enjoy water sports
Go on an enjoyable banana boat excursion. Floripa Yoga & Kitesurf House also has a beautiful Lomac boat that can carry up to 18 people. It is great for diving and those days without wind when you can enjoy wakeboarding. The boat is offered to guests at affordable prices.
Go exploring on bikes
Take a bicycle ride around the sleepy beach town. Floripa Yoga & Kitesurf House has eight regular bikes (free to use) and two electric bikes (for rent) that guests can use every day to explore the Sicilian farms or local dairies. If you wish to adventure even further, you can also rent one of their electric bikes.
Behind the bed and breakfast lie miles of dirt roads in the countryside that you can visit freely and safely, away from traffic, enjoying the silence that only the countryside can offer.
Optional tours
A guided tour of the cities of Agrigento and Siracusa, or Catania and Ragusa, inclusive of car, driver, and local guide, depending on the route chosen, is also available at an extra cost.
Play beach sports
During the summer months, on the beach, you will find courts for beach volleyball and tennis. You can also organize a beach football game with your friends. These courts are available free of charge for guests.
Relax and enjoy lazy days
The bed and breakfast environment is designed to give you maximum comfort, relaxation, and fun for an unforgettable holiday. You can bask in the warm sun and take long walks on the beach, read a book while swaying in the hammocks, or spend some quiet time in the peaceful gardens.
Take kitesurfing lessons
You can learn how to surf, kitesurf, or SUP.
Workshop
During the week, you will be notified when special workshops on arm-balancing, inversions, handstand, backbends, SUP yoga, and more will be held. These vary depending on the teachers' availability and general requests.

If you will take the bus from Catania, please let Floripa Yoga & Kitesurf House know your arrival time and which one you think you will be taking.

All kinds of transportation need to be paid in cash.
Send the message to Floripa when you board the bus, not when you arrive in Pozzallo, to give the team some time to organize your shuttle (otherwise, you might have to wait for them at the bus station).
Please also note to make sure that you take the bus to Pozzallo and not Pollazzo (which does not exist but has been confused with Milazzo, on the other side of the island).
