Poppi · Casentino Valley, Tuscany
Tucked into the golden hills of Tuscany, our home for the week is a beautifully restored farmhouse surrounded by vineyards and forest and its beautiful Fall foliage.
When we're not enjoying the sauna or the hot tub or a nice glass of local wine by the pool at the villa, we'll learn ancient crafts, taste our way through the region, and wander a storybook hill town — all of it planned, booked, and looked after, so you can simply arrive and exhale.
Step outside to an outdoor pool, sauna, and hot tub framed by the valley. Inside, a cozy fireplace and a private movie room wait for slow evenings together.
Delicious meals cooked for us by a local chef; seasonal Tuscan dishes paired with local wine.
Learn the craft and history of ceramics in a beautiful centuries-old monastery setting.
Discover the history of wool and weaving, then make your own scarf to bring home.
Taste the unique wines from the region and see what sets them apart from other Tuscan area wines.
Visit and tour the storybook city of Arezzo — its piazzas, history, and golden light.
An easy walk through the forest, surrounded by all the color of the Tuscan autumn.
A visit to a local dairy farm for a guided cheese tasting followed by a long, relaxed farmhouse lunch.
Roll up your sleeves and learn to make fresh pasta from scratch with our chef and then sit down together to enjoy the meal you made, paired with Tuscan wine.
All-inclusive — only your flights to Florence are extra.
Optional add-on: extend your trip with a 2-day stay in Florence at the end of the retreat, available for an additional fee.
Spaces are limited — small group by design.
