A Women's Retreat on
the Ligurian Coast
Eight days for women in a seafront villa with its own private beach, at the edge of one of Italy's prettiest fishing villages.
Tellaro is a tiny fishing village built into the rocks above the sea, on the far end of the Gulf of La Spezia. Our villa sits right on the water at the edge of the village, a short walk from its lanes, restaurants and hiking trails.
We'll spend two days exploring: one along the cliffside villages of Cinque Terre, and one inside the walls of Lucca. Back at the villa there's a jewelry-making class, a cooking class, and massages.
A private chef cooks every meal, and I'll have you collected from Pisa or Florence airport, so there's nothing to arrange once you land. The rest of the time is yours to rest, swim off the private beach, and watch the light change over the Ligurian coast from the terrace.
