Casa Fuzetta is an exceptional private home in the heart of the authentic fishing town of Olhão, in the unspoilt eastern Algarve.
The house sleeps up to 24 in style and comfort, and is located within a fifteen minute drive of Faro airport, which itself is less than 3 hours away from London and other major European cities
Travel & Leisure (US) has listed Casa Fuzetta in their top 10 best yoga retreats worldwide for two years in a row.
Olhão dates back to Roman times, when it enjoyed its first boom, courtesy of the rich fishing seas just off its coast. These areas remain vibrant and continue to sustain the local community.
The daily fish market (designed some say by Gustave Eiffel) and the Saturday market that runs along the adjoining waterfront are without question some of the best in the world and heaven for all foodies!
I WAS VERY DRAWN TO ALGARVE FOR THE 2022 MARIPOSA YOGA RETREAT LAST SEPTEMBER. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL AND SCORED A 10+ IN EVERY CATAGORY
“Better than expected and was thrilled by how much I got out of it”
“My first experience with you as a yoga teacher, I give you an A+”
“This was a once in a lifetime experience for me - I am so grateful”
I love being at the coast and the Algarve coast is awesome but it was more than that, the Portuguese people were kind, helpful, dignified and so open and willing. This 2023 retreat is actually on the Eastern Algarve, so quite different and we are also, as you have read, in a working fishing village but close to beaches, islands and a fabulous national park.
The time of year is also very different. November is towards the end of Autumn and the evenings and mornings are chilly but the days are warm and bright and comfortable for hikes and exploring.
If you want to explore Lisbon, Porto or other parts of the Algarve, I suggest you do it prior to coming to the retreat and closing your trip on this very high note.
I will curate 5 days of yoga practice as a pathway for awakening, wholeness and wellbeing. We will focus on functional movement, joy and resilience. Together we will find guidance to respond to life’s stresses through embodiment, breath, self awareness and self compassion.
As a side bar, I would like to say that largely the success of the 2022 retreat was the combination of people. I take great care when inviting people to the retreat, to ensure as much as possible that there are like minded souls and compassionate, interesting people with whom to share stories and experiences.
“The group were so positive and upbeat. Such great energy”
