About Tuscan Fitness

Mission & Vision

Tuscan Fitness is located just outside a town called Cavriglia, located in the Upper Valdarno in the province of Arezzo and is often considered the center of the triangle that joins the cities of Florence, Arezzo and Siena, making it ideal for visiting the area. Nestled between the left bank of the river Arno and the hills of Chianti, it is also called the “Porta del Chianti”, or the door of Chianti, as it sits on the doorstep of this beautiful region, famous worldwide for its delicious wines.

The area around where the retreat is located is typically Tuscan, complete with rolling green hills, olive groves and vineyards. This part of Tuscany has a great deal to see and we do our utmost to work with local producers and businesses to show the best of the region.

The hotel is also conveniently located for those interested in making day trips to the famous towns and cities in the area, including Florence (45 minute drive), Arezzo (30 minutes), Siena (30 minutes) and Orvieto (45 minutes).

Amazing Place and amazing people
It was my second (and for sure not last!) stay at Tuscan Fitness and I loved it. They offer a lot of activities, for which you choose to participate or not, everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, the views are stunning and the food delicious.
All I can say is thanks a lot & see you again!

Girls Trip To Tuscany
We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Tuscan Fitness. Four of us girls (retired) came to Tuscany from United States, Indianapolis, IN. We enjoy yoga but also wanted to experience the beauty of Tuscany. It was beyond our expectations. We did yoga classes, meditated, hiked, rode horses and ate incredible food. The most treasured experience was meeting many other men and women from all over Europe. We shared stories, laughed and truly enjoyed each other's company. We'd love to go back.

Please keep us posted of your future retreats. Unfortunately, I can't make the Costa Rica trip in March 2027 but would love to experience this again.

Thank you, Alix, for creating this special place.

Perfect way to unwind and reset
Alix, Elska and Olaf are excellent yoga teachers, they notice personal differences, and adapt practice to suit everyone. The Tuscan setting is glorious, and the optional activities allow you to be as active or relaxed as you want. I can’t recommend Tuscan fitness highly enough and look forward to returning next year.

Wonderful week at Tuscan Fitness
I stayed at La Forra for one week with Tuscan Fitness in mid June with my friend. We shared a two bed accommodation. We were there for yoga and hiking mostly, and to enjoy the beautiful rolling hills and Tuscan experience.
The hotel is lovely, rustic, and as they are original buildings, they don’t all have air conditioning, (ours didn’t) but the rooms are spacious and clean and the beds comfortable.
The restaurant food was good and plentiful, especially breakfast, with a wide selection to choose from. You could buy snacks and wine/beers/ice cream from reception and drinks including wine from the restaurant as well. We had a fridge in our apartment, so we were able to buy a bottle of wine and enjoy a glass on our beautiful terrace or in the shady area below before dinner.

The Tuscan Fitness aspect, including yoga and Hiking was of an excellent standard and the resident teachers Elske, Olaf and
Alex made it a fantastic experience.. I definitely learnt so much from them! I had a massage and reiki with Olaf which was definitely up there as one of the best ever!

I hiked four out of seven days, including a fabulous hilly hike to an Abbey which was stunning. The hikes were challenging in the heat, but was a lovely experience, time to chat and get to know others in the group. People came and went which meant for lots of variety!

The swimming pool and allocated sun beds/shaded area was beautiful and so refreshing after a yoga class or hike. We watched the sunrise early one morning from The Big Bench, just below the pool.

I thoroughly enjoyed our week and would return in the future, maybe even try out one of the yoga retreats in another location that Tuscan Fitness run??
