YOGA & HIKING in TUSCANY

Limited to 6 people, this semi-private 7-night luxury yoga and wellness retreat will include daily meditation and yoga with panoramic views, hiking with coastal and mountain views, visits to picturesque villages, ample free time and delicious Mediterranean cuisine (mostly gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, only natural sugars). We're happy to accommodate special dietary needs and requests.

Each evening will be a special occasion to dine together in our beautiful villa with the setting sun, or at a nearby restaurant.

Our home for the week will be a beautiful, spacious, light-filled, private, modern-minimalist villa perched in the hills of Versilia among woods and olive groves with views of the surrounding forest and crystalline waters of the Ligurian Sea (an arm of the Mediterranean Sea) in the distance. This elegant home is designed to maximize comfort and relaxation and features beautiful indoor and outdoor areas, various sun terraces, an inviting pool and a new sauna and steam room.

The location is quiet and feels remote but is only a few minutes' drive beyond the Tuscan town Camaiore, and a 15-minute drive to the Italian Riveriera and beaches. It's ideally situated for exploring both the Tuscan coast and hinterland. Cinque Terre, Pisa, Lucca, Pietrasanta, Viareggio, Versilia and Florence are all possible day trips.

Similar to the hills of Santa Barbara and Montecito, this south-west facing Mediterranean setting offers plenty of sunshine, a pleasant and mild climate and fragrant, fresh air.

Menu: Fresh, delicious, organic, wholesome, locally sourced, primarily plant-based cuisine highlighting local flavors and produce. The menu will be mostly gluten-free, dairy-free, low salt, using only natural/low glycemic sugars and personalized according to dietary preferences of those in attendance. For protein, we enjoy incorporating beans, legumes and seasoned tofu. Eggs, chicken and/or fish will also be available.

All activities will be optional. All levels and ages welcome.

An optional two-night post-retreat add-on in Florence is available!
