LUXURY PILATES RETREAT
Lot, France
19-24 SEPTEMBER 2026
INTRODUCTION
Step into the sunlit hills of South-West France, near to the picturesque medieval town of Castelnau-Montratier. Where elegance feels effortless; a 19th-century château, surrounded by 75 acres of private landscaped grounds - secluded, refined, and quietly luxurious.
Here, every detail has been considered: movement in the open air, exquisite seasonal dining, spacious en-suite rooms, and long, unhurried afternoons beside the heated pool.
Amidst rolling vineyards, ancient trees and the soft hum of rural life, our Pilates Retreat invites you to experience deep restoration in surroundings designed for total ease — where wellness meets the art of French living.
YOUR PILATES RETREAT
The perfect backdrop for powerful physical reset, your five day Pilates Retreat blends luxurious surroundings with a programme that will help you build strength, flexibility, and endurance in your core, as well as improving mobility and posture – all while enjoying the kind of slow, spacious living that France does best.
-
You’ll begin each day with Pilates surrounded by open countryside, and close it with restorative evening sessions as the sun melts into the horizon. In between, indulge in chef-prepared seasonal meals, dip into the heated pool, enjoy some of the property’s outstanding facilities and magnificent living areas, or simply unwind with a book on the terrace – all within a setting that feels truly a world away.
Our retreat blends movement, exceptional hospitality, and the understated luxury of rural France; an opportunity to rest, relax, unwind, and most importantly, come home with a lasting sense of physical and mental renewal.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Your home is this exquisite French chateâu set on a vast private estate, with beautiful interiors that balance contemporary comfort and timeless character.
All of the property’s luxurious en-suite bedrooms are elegantly furnished with a harmonious mix of classic French style and modern comfort.

YOUR PILATES CLASSES
Meet Stacey Beattie, your expert Pilates instructor for the week.
Stacey is our longest-serving Pilates instructor and a STOTT-accredited Pilates teacher trainer. Stacey is also one of the UK’s most in-demand sports and holistic therapists.
Morning classes energise and ignite your core, improving alignment, posture and mobility. Evening sessions slow the pace, releasing tension and creating a deep sense of balance within the body. The effect is profound: you move differently, you feel different, and you reconnect with a version of yourself you may have forgotten.
All classes are suitable for all levels.
Whether you’re new to Pilates or an experienced practitioner, you will feel supported, inspired, and part of a welcoming community.
