I’m not a huge wine drinker these days, to be honest. I love it, but my body often rebels. Yet somehow, in Italy, everything shifts. It’s a culture that naturally balances itself with connection, family, and adventure. We walk everywhere, and the food and vineyards aren’t saturated with toxins—by law, they’re simply grown differently.

The contrast between these two ways of living has always been challenging for me. But when I’m in Italy, my nervous system resets. I hug more. I laugh more. I wander through cobblestone streets and end up walking 30,000 steps a day without even trying. And yes—a single glass of wine in the afternoon somehow helps me sleep.

I’m convinced it’s the community, the culture, and the seamless simplicity of how life is lived there.

You should come—if you want to explore, practice yoga, enjoy wine (or not), savor incredible food, and feel what it’s like when life begins to balance itself again.

Italy feels like home to me.

There’s a slower rhythm to life there—one that, in my view, reflects how life should be lived: intentionally, reverently, and with full attention. We've visited twice already, and we’re going back again. The hills of Tuscany keep calling me—to love, to joy, to adventure, to incredible food, and to the warmth of its people.

This retreat is an invitation to:

  • Deeply reset—into love, joy, and abundance

  • Reconnect with the Earth and with one another

  • Embrace the beauty of life through cultural exploration in a land that celebrates connection, presence, and delight

  • Recalibrate your life to a higher frequency of living

  • Return to the truest, most centered version of yourself

Three options to stay … in the large Campostefani Villa, the Paglietella, and the Yurt. Each equipped with bedroom, most with ensuite bathrooms and all with access to the Italian countryside. Peaceful and quiet.

The farmhouse dates back to the 1100s. Inside are seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, a sitting room with kitchenette, a dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. The rooms have terracotta floors, delightfully cool in summer, and almost all have private bathrooms and direct access to the gardens.

Converted into a cottage with a private bathroom and breathtaking views from the bedroom balcony, it is a two-story detached living unit with a private kitchenette and sitting room.

La Pagliatella is our small manifesto of sustainability: built of wood and straw according to the most advanced principles of green building, finished with natural materials, it is completely energy self-sufficient. Surrounded by olive groves, it houses two double rooms, each with a private bathroom, and a communal sitting room with open views of the valley.

Perfect for those seeking intimacy, comfort and a deep connection with their surroundings.

Tucked away in the woods, the Yurt is a circular, modern and surprisingly bright space. The central skylight lets the sky in, while the large windows open the view to the greenery around.

With its two single beds and one double bed, it is ideal for small groups, one-on-one sessions or simply for those seeking an intimate, out-of-time retreat. The private bathroom with shower is located a few steps away from the facility, surrounded by nature.
