About the villa
Molino Zegri is not a house, but a Home. It as been home to the same established Andalusia family for at least 3 generations. The home as been tastefully decorated and furnished with elegant antiques spanning the decades. Each generation complimenting the previous. The result is unique. Staying in this home is being granted an intimate experience, a glimpse of past present and future of this fabulous dwelling. Outside the building sits in an extensive Estate nestled against the hillside. Two natural springs issue from the front and side of the home. The grounds are cultivated with mature tree of all variety – fruit trees, pine trees. There is also kitchen Gardens growing produce for the home. Molino Zegri is idyllic, it has resonance of Tolkien’s “Last Homely Home”. This amazing dwelling is also approximately 20 minutes by car to the Historical City of Granada which is home to the Alhambra.

We cannot wait to be back in the sun doing what we do best. We (Symon and Sarah) began running retreats seven years ago in Spain. We have, over the years developed a passion for creating an environment where anyone can rest, recuperate, recharge and reconnect with their whole self. A space in which to experience authentic emotional connections with others, nature and oneself. To communally savour and enjoy lovingly prepared amazing food, share stories, laughter, friendship and to regain a sense of balance. Our team will support you to return to simple habits and rituals to enable you to forge a deeper connection with yourself.
What the retreat includes
Two yoga classes daily which are a mixture of hatha yoga, yoga Nidra, kundalini, breath work and meditation. The evening classes are slower and more restorative to help the body to wind down, release stress and prepare you for sleep.
Ayurveda self-care practices to cleanse mind and boost the immune system and strengthen emotional resilience.
Yoga Nidra is a special kind of yoga that helps you rest and restore through what’s called ‘yogic sleep’. It’s a deep relaxation technique done with lots of pillows to support no physical movement. While doing this practice the brain activity reduces and the body enters a healing state.
Restorative yoga deeply relaxes the body and stills the mind. Releases muscular tension, improving mobility, flexibility and helps soothes the nervous system and is gentle on the body.
Delicious fresh meals cooked each day by our chef Symon.
Massage, facials and various treatments available at an extra cost which is paid directly to the therapist.
Accommodation, and transfer to and from the airport.
No experience is necessary the sessions are suitable for total beginners or more experience yogis, we cater to all needs and capabilities. This retreat will nourish you and give you ideas to continue a healthy lifestyle when you’re home.
