Join us for 5 nights and 6 days of creative movement, stunning nature, nourishing food and captivating workshops. Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, where the golden light dances across olive groves and vineyards, lies Torre a Cona, an 18th-century villa that will be your luxurious sanctuary for a transformative journey of mind, body, and soul. Imagine the soft Tuscan breeze awakening your senses as you begin your mornings with invigorating Pilates sessions under the open sky, accompanied by panoramic views of the sun-kissed countryside. In the evenings, as the sun dips below the horizon, unwind with restorative Pilates that harmonizes your body with the serene rhythm of Tuscany’s peaceful nights.
Every detail of this retreat has been thoughtfully designed to offer an unparalleled experience. Begin each day with a delectable breakfast featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients: warm, flaky pastries, ripe fruits bursting with sweetness, and rich Italian coffee that warms your hands and soul. Dinner is a feast of authentic Tuscan flavors—a celebration of rustic elegance prepared by master chefs.
The adventures extend far beyond the villa. Embark on a truffle-hunting excursion, guided by experts and their loyal dogs, to uncover the region’s coveted treasures. Savor the reward of your discovery in dishes prepared with the rare finds. Delve into Tuscany’s wine culture with exclusive tastings, where velvety reds and crisp whites tell the story of the land in every sip. And one magical evening, step into the villa’s kitchen for an intimate cooking class. Learn the art of Tuscan cuisine as you knead fresh pasta, drizzle olive oil pressed from local trees, and craft dishes steeped in tradition.
Relaxation and self-care are at the heart of your experience. Each guest will indulge in a personalized massage, expertly designed to melt away tension and leave you rejuvenated. Transportation to and from this oasis is fully arranged, allowing you to sink into the serenity of the retreat without a worry.
This retreat is more than a getaway—it's an immersion into the art of living well. Every movement, taste, and sensation invites you to embrace a slower pace, reconnect with yourself, and leave with not just memories but a renewed sense of vitality.
