WHAT’S INCLUDED:

May 12th-17th 2025

– 6 days, 5 nights stay in a beautiful private Tuscan Villa situated right between Rome and Florence, Italy.

-One transfer to the villa and back to Rome included, so that you can arrive worry-free. It is about 2 hours to our location from Rome.

-Hands-on local pizza making day. Together with the pizzaiolo (professional Italian pizza maker) you work your own dough and create a pizza with your favorite toppings in the on-site pizza oven.

-Hands-on pasta making class with an Italian mamma. We will begin with collecting the ingredients ourselves from the nearby farms or markets then enjoy what we’ve cooked together, paired with local wines, water, and coffee. The recipes are designed to be easily replicated in your own kitchen at home.

-Other dinners include a full-service local farm bbq & family style dinners.

-Beautiful pool on property.

-A Local wine tasting day & day trip to a historical town.

-Personalized mini photo session with professional photographer Kristian Irey (This can be used for any shoot of self love, for your business, can incorporate yoga or we can even embrace boudoir. We have the entire villa and the interior/exterior is stunning). I am ALL about photographing yourself through stages of your life. You shouldn’t need a special reason to celebrate yourself and all that your body has done for you.

-15 minute pre-retreat assessment with Haley Hughes MS, RD, CDCES. Registered Dietitian, Intuitive Eating Counselor, Owner of Haley Hughes Wellness. This includes personalized nutrition history review, and brief individualized recommendations and goal setting. Topics of nutrition interest will be incorporated into meals during the retreat.

*There are no hidden extra costs. We have intentionally made this to be an all-inclusive retreat once you land in Italy, so that you can fully relax. The only thing you are responsible for after purchasing this ticket, is getting your passport and yourself to our shuttle in Rome & one light lunch if you’d like additional food on our excursion day. If picking flights & traveling alone scares you, Kristian can help with that. Be sure to check out our FAQS below.*
