Focused on culture + creativity, this week-long retreat is hosted in the hills of coastal Tuscany and features artisan workshops, a cooking class, meditation, and immersion into la dolce vita of Italy!

In the Tuscan hills of Maremma, Italy, near Grosseto, this retreat location overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea and offers private cottages at this charming agriturismo*. This is a place to unwind as you look out at the endless beautiful views, try an artisan workshop, and day-trip to undiscovered sights in Southern Tuscany. 

*In English, an agriturismo translates to a farm stay, but in Italy, an agriturismo delivers so much more! These working farms cater to guests, offering meals, overnight stays and unforgettable experiences.
