Top Retreat Venues in Italy
Our voyage through Italy’s retreat havens leads us to a few exceptional venues:
- Reschio: A stunning estate located between Tuscany and Umbria that is a venue like no other! The property includes a hotel (non-other than a 1000 year old castle that has been lovingly restored, and several luxury villas. Activities are many, including horse-riding, cooking classes, biking, enjoying the outdoor cinema, and even getting up close to local wildlife such a deer. There are a number of local villages nearby where you can soak up the pleasures of daily Italian life and culture (Assisi and Perugia, the capital of Umbria, to name just a couple). This really is a spectacular location for a women’s retreat.
- Hotel Miramonti: Modern, minimalist and striking are the words that come to mind when thinking of this luxe boutique hotel. MM Spa is outstanding – with an infinity AND onsen pool. Treatments include “forest therapy”, saunas, and so much more. This is a unique property located near to the Austrian border, and pays homage to both it’s neighbour and Italian culture.
- Locanda del Gallo, Umbria: This charming retreat showcases the heart of Italy, and is located in the center of the country, about halfway between Florence and and Rome. It’s more rustic and affordable than some of the higher end retreat venues, but wholesome and wonderful! Unwind in the peaceful countryside, practice yoga, and relish organic meals made from locally sourced ingredients.
- Il Borro, Tuscany: A luxurious hideaway set on a historic estate, this retreat offers wellness, mindfulness, and gourmet experiences. Discover rejuvenation amidst Tuscan splendour.
