Since 2018, Sicilian-born Giovanna has been a cherished part of the kitchen team, bringing warmth, dedication, and plenty of early-morning energy to every day. Rising before dawn, she prepares delicious breakfast treats designed to help guests recharge after an invigorating yoga class and start the day feeling nourished and ready for more. Her presence adds a personal, family-style touch to the retreat atmosphere, making each morning feel welcoming and cared for.
Beyond her talent in the kitchen, Giovanna is also part of the wider story of the Floripa family. Her son is founder Ettore’s best friend, a fun detail that reflects the close-knit spirit behind the experience. With her long-standing role and genuine connection to the community, Giovanna helps create the kind of calm, comforting environment that guests remember long after their stay.
