4 Night New Year retreat

My plan was to visit Florence, enjoy the food culture and maybe take a ride through the rolling tuscan hills. Doing a yoga retreat was a last minute thought but turned out to be the highlight of my trip. Its setting is on a hill top over looking the valley below and the small town of Montegonzi.
Wake up for the sunrise...Stunning!

In between the yoga classes, I really enjoyed the hikes. David our guide talked us through the natural plants native to the Chianti landscape and a bit of history surrounding the areas. The olive oil and wine tasting was a real bonus.

I came to Italy to see the tuscan hills and enjoy the food culture, I got all of that and a lot more in one place...

I was extremely tired from very long year and I only had 2 nights available to recharge. The smile on people faces from the paradise connected with nature was special and exactly what I needed to tune, recharge, gain strength and experience delicious wine tasting and oil tasting.
From the trekking with Dave, to the yoga with Alix and Dina, to the team at the reception and at the restaurant, everyone was super welcoming. The food was delicious too!

~Ik was hier nu voor de 3e keer en het blijft een heerlijke bestemming om te ontspannen en tegelijkertijd te genieten van het Toscaanse landschap gecombineerd met yoga, fitness, hiken en andere activiteiten. Waarbij het motto is: alles kan, niets hoeft..
David en Alix zijn geweldige fijne mensen, die hun liefde voor Toscane vol passie overdragen aan elke gast.
Zoals altijd voelde ik mij omarmd door vriendelijkheid en schoonheid.
Met recht een happy place.
Ik kom zeker weer terug.

Tuscan fitness have perfected this retreat. The location is beautiful, doing yoga sessions every morning and afternoon with a fantastic view was very relaxing. Thank you to Alix and Elske for being such attentive instructors. Alix also hosted a fitness class which was great.
Having the opportunity to see the Tuscan countryside through daily hikes was great too, thank you also to David.
The food was so fresh and cooked to perfection. There was also the opportunity to do other activities like wine tasting which was lovely.
The timetable is carefully thought out and there’s care for each guest attending. Thank you also to Levi for driving us to and from the station and wine tasting.
The team have a great energy and I thoroughly recommend this. I will definitely be returning for a future retreat they run!

The 4day/3night itinerary was well planned with a nice variety of activities. The hikes around the area were lead by a sensational guide (David) who was knowledgeable about the floral, fauna, geography and history of the area. The resort was gorgeous and far my exceeded my expectations. It's a bespoke yoga experience run by genuine, knowledge, caring professionals. The swimming pools and food were delightful. I definitely plan to return again and for a longer stay.
