We don’t want to show you Tuscany, we want to invite you into it.

Tuscany in the springtime—the soft green hills, wild poppies blooming in the fields, the scent of lemon blossoms in the air, and the slow rhythm of life that somehow makes you breathe a little deeper. It’s a place that has captured our hearts again and again. A place that feels, in so many ways, like home.

And we want to invite you into it. To gather with you in this special place and with our friends here.

This isn’t a trip where we rush from one place to another or tick off a list of landmarks. It’s slower. More soulful. More deeply rooted.

A villegiatura—an extended stay in one beautiful region, where we settle in, let our shoulders drop, and allow the beauty around us to soak into our bones. We’ll gather together as a creative community—men, women, couples, solo travelers—enjoying connection, wonder, beauty, and something more meaningful than a vacation.

You will wind through the Tuscan countryside to a place we absolutely love—our home for the week. A beautiful, ancient, medieval Borgo on a quiet hillside with valley views that make you pause mid-sentence. This Tuscan haven becomes sacred ground during our time there. There’s something about it—maybe the golden light, maybe the stillness, maybe the laughter echoing off the stone walls, or the beauty in every corner. It's a beautiful haven deep in the Tuscan countryside that feels like a little piece of heaven on earth.

We'll spend a day in Florence, and step into a private creative workshop tucked into a hidden garden, inside an ancient limonaia—a lemon house filled with history and light — with our friend, Betty Soldi, for a special morning ink workshop in her beautiful studio. You’ll hear birdsong through the open windows as we gather around tables to create, share, and exhale. We'll spend the rest of the day exploring our favorite parts of Florence—the neighborhoods, cafes, and shops.

We’ll spend time in some of the most beautiful hill towns—San Gimignano, Siena, and Volterra—not as hurried tourists, but as welcome guests paying attention, and meeting our friends in each of these special places that hold such a special place in our heart.

We’ll truffle hunt with the borgo truffle hunters, linger over handmade pasta and dinners where the conversation is just as delicious as the food. Strangers will become friends.

This is a special time that doesn’t just show you a place. It invites you into it. It's for those who want to chase beauty, to be fully immersed in the richness of the culture, and to find space to breathe, reflect, and create in community.

This is a small, boutique retreat with very limited spots. If this speaks to you—slow, soulful, soaked in place and people—calls to something inside you, be sure to join our first-to-know list. You'll be the first to get all the details when we send them out, and the first to be able to register before the public.

Come with us next spring. Tuscany is calling, and we’d love nothing more than to show you our Tuscany and why the place and people are so very special to us.

Our retreats are for women/men/couples/singles.
