All of our retreats are in English unless clearly stated otherwise. We occasionally offer some in German, Dutch and other languages and they will be clearly stated on the retreat page. We do not offer translation during our retreats.
In Mandali we accept payments in cash or any type of debit or credit card except American Express. Please note for airport/station transfers, our drivers only accept cash in Euro currency
Mandali is a non-profit organization therefore once you decide to book a retreat with us, we hope you can commit to it.
Our retreats are not refundable. In case you need to reschedule due to serious health problems, we are able to offer a voucher for an alternative date in the future
You are welcome to check in from 14:00 onwards. If you would like to arrive earlier let us know and we will do our best to arrange for your room to be ready.
Please note that reception is open every day from 9.00 to 17.30. If you’re arriving after 19:00 please let us know in advance so we can make sure that someone is available to welcome you.
Check-out is by 10.00 on the last day of your retreat, usually followed by a closing meeting and lunch at 12.30.
Your room will be ready at 14.00. Upon arrival, you may enjoy some free time settling in until your welcome meeting in the afternoon. Our body care centre is our guests’ favourite way to ‘land’, we have an outdoor jacuzzi with epic views, an indoor swimming pool, steam room and a sauna to enjoy. You may enjoy the expansive views from the silent terrace, go for a walk or simply nap!
We don’t provide Wi-Fi connections in the rooms because we’d love to encourage our guests to disconnect as much as possible. Free Wi-Fi is available in the library all day.
Besides our own facilities – our cosy library, relaxing body care centre, growing permaculture garden and silent terrace, you may enjoy some hikes around the property or visit the lake. Our front desk can assist you with some of their favourite trails and activities.
Of course! We are happy to provide alternative menu options for vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free needs. Please inform us of your dietary requirements upon booking your retreat.
Each group room is fully equipped with yoga mats, belts, bolsters, blankets, meditation chairs and cushions. You don’t need to bring any props from home.
As we’re located at 900mt above sea level, the weather is quite cold during winter times, and very warm in the summertime. Evenings can be quite chilly during summer as well! You might like to check the weather forecast for Quarna Sopra here – www.3bmeteo.com.
We strongly recommend bringing your own medication. There’s a pharmacy within walking distance from the centre but no doctor is available in the village. In case of emergency, the nearest hospital is in Omegna (approximately 20 min drive).
No, Mandali is a dedicated retreat centre. This means that only people participating in a Mandali Experience or other retreat programme are able to stay at Mandali. Come and join us for a retreat, beloved traveller!
Yes! We have dorms exactly for that purpose. If you’re travelling alone and would like to share a room, you’ll be combined with someone of the same gender attending your retreat.
No. Mandali doesn’t belong to any particular religion or tradition. Inclusivity is of utmost importance to us and we welcome guests and teachers from all lineages and backgrounds.
Anyone on a quest for mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Wherever you are on your journey, and no matter how much or how little experience you have with yoga and meditation, we look forward to welcoming you.
If you’d like to pay us a visit, please make an appointment in advance by contacting the front desk, this is so that may avoid disturbing the retreats in progress.
