Farfalla Viola is a counter-melodic sanctuary in Sardinia where we like to turn things upside down
Here, we invite you to un-learn what you’ve been taught - that life can be simpler. We host retreats, work one-on-one with clients, welcome volunteers, experiment with co-living and offer artist residencies. At the Viola we savor the rawness of life: adventure, pain, laughs, dance, tears, nature, commitment, transforming trauma, wilderness and diving deep..
Here, we value:
Silence alongside big ideas and conversations.
Interconnected learning between generations, elders from the young and vice versa.
Energy work with scientific principles.
Truth and humor.
Deep work & play, entrepreneurship, ice baths, nature swims, sauna
Movement and physical expression as a means of connection.
Owning emotions and direct communication.
Holding labels loosely.
Agriculture and animals: Farming, caring for donkeys, bees, and more.

Return to your true self
It’s easy to say, but simply relaxing on vacation often isn’t enough to truly reconnect with yourself. More often than not, it’s a tailor-made journey that leads you to experience what really transforms and empowers you. Sometimes that means rest, and sometimes it’s about action. Sometimes it’s learning something new, or perhaps it’s discovering something very old within yourself; inviting un-learning. We make it possible for you to walk your path with us. The place, the environment, and often the exact right people will be present to offer that missing piece you need to find peace, kindness, and strength to reconnect with yourself and the world around you.
