THE RETREAT
Join us in the spectacular Tuscan countryside for a week of nature, architecture, art, history, culture, cuisine…and flora! Together, we’ll explore the UNESCO World Heritage Val d’Orcia, an off-the-beaten-path part of Tuscany that’s featured in movies like “Gladiator,” “The English Patient,” and Franco Zefferelli’s “Romeo and Juliet,” and the recent Netflix series, “Medici.” We’ll visit hidden gems like a nearby Romanesque abbey, tour a prestigious Montalcino winery, and enjoy the most charming, medieval and Renaissance-era towns of Tuscany like Siena and Pienza.
ACCOMMODATION
We’ll have the exclusive use of a gorgeous old country house villa located on a 900 hectare family-owned estate. An hour and a half from Florence, and fifteen minutes from Montalcino (renowned for its rich Brunello wine) the villa is nestled amid some of the world’s most inspiring landscapes. Surrounded by the family’s olive groves and vineyards, the villa has a pool and several panoramic sitting areas, the grounds are perfect for plenty of peace and quiet…a great place to dance like nobody’s watching.
The villa also has wifi, a washing machine, air-conditioning and we’ll have our own private chef.
