About Tuscan Fitness

Mission & Vision

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).

What a Treat
Thank you so much for an amazing and beneficial time spent with you all last week. Such a welcome, from the moment I got there. Everyone so friendly and helpful. A lot of work must go in to creating such a space, but I felt as if they were all there just for me!

The estate is in a gorgeous location, and the yoga terrace overlooks a beautiful valley. My room was big and spacious (with the very important air conditioning!). Food plentiful, delicious and with a lot of choice. Myself and the other participants talked about the menus all the time :)

As for the yoga practice itself, I learned a lot of new tips for improving and even managed a supported headstand, which was a mighty achievement. Thank you to Elske for encouraging me to try. I felt completely safe trusting you to support me through this.

I was lucky to experience the challenging but fun Pilates with Marriegje, plus fitness and yoga with Alix.

A massive thank you to Elske, Marriegje, and Alix, for a wonderful, peaceful time. I found it all quite emotional in a really good way.

Finally, thank you to Levi for driving me to the station and carrying my bag right on to the train!

I highly recommend Tuscan Fitness to anyone who is looking for a relaxed retreat, in beautiful surroundings, with a professional team looking after you. There is no pressure to do anything if you just feel like chilling out, but there is opportunity for hiking, wine tasting and even horse riding if that is what the mood takes you.

See you all again next year!

Another great week at Tuscan Fitness
Every year I book a longer stay. The combination of good yoga sessions, hiit fitness classes with old school music, wine tasting and lazy afternoons at the pool is giving me lots of energy. Every year I have met the most interesting and nicest people from all over the world. Alix, Elske, Olav and Jazz thanks for bringing such energetic program. See you next year!

Pure Bliss in Tuscany (With a Team of Angels!)
Arriving at La Forra, I was immediately struck by how many fellow guests were on their second or third visit. In the travel world, that repeat clientele is the ultimate vote of confidence—and it didn't take long to understand why. Having participated in various wellness travel experiences for over 10 years, I can confidently say this program easily ranks at the very top of my list.

What makes La Forra stand out is its seamless combination of breathtaking Tuscan scenery, exceptional local cuisine, and brilliantly curated cultural activities. From exploring a local olive oil plant and visiting a historic abbey to enjoying exquisite wine tastings, every detail of the itinerary felt intentional and rewarding.

The yoga instruction was nothing short of world-class. Elska brought a beautiful, calm, and deeply grounded energy to the shala, while Jazz complemented it perfectly with an uplifting, vibrant energy. Together, they created the ideal environment to fully reset and recharge.Lastly, I want to express my deepest, most sincere gratitude to Alice and the entire team.

During a group hike, I unfortunately had a bad fall and broke a bone in my foot. The care, love, and emotional support Alice's team showered me with turned a stressful medical emergency into a moment of genuine human connection. While my trip was cut a bit short visually, I am absolutely planning to return to complete what was left unfinished. I highly recommend La Forra to anyone looking for the ultimate Italian summer escape.
