"I spent 4 days at the Tuscan Fitness retreat and I've already recomended it to all of my friends. Huge shoutout to the organizers but in particular to our amazing yoga teacher Stephanie, who had the most beautiful energy and made us all feel very comfortable and welcome. The morning and evening sights at the hotel and yoga deck are incredible, it was like a painting that changed every day! The food was also really good! I will definitely come back!"

"I really enjoyed my time at Tuscan Fitness. The property was gorgeous, the staff was friendly, the food was delicious and I really enjoyed socializing with the other guests. The yoga classes were a good, as well as the training sessions. Each day there were different activities planned. I only wish I had planned to stay longer. It was a great combination of wellness and relaxation, but also with some good food and wine ;)"
"A Truly Memorable Experience!
From the moment we were picked up at the station, everything was perfectly organised. We were welcomed with lunch on arrival, and our hotel accommodation was spacious, spotlessly clean, and offered breathtaking views. The buffet meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—were delicious with a wide variety of choices.
The daily yoga sessions were absolutely fabulous, and the fitness workouts were both fun and challenging. A highlight for us was the amazing hikes, wine tastings, and olive oil tastings, all of which were well-planned and ran seamlessly on schedule.
We were lucky to share this experience with a fantastic group of like-minded people from around the world. We had the most perfect 4 days and only wished we could have stayed longer!
A special shoutout to our wonderful yoga instructors, Sonny and Steff—they were truly amazing! Alix put us through our paces in fitness sessions with a great balance of determination and humor while her husband Levi and her brother David guided us through hikes and tours, both were engaging and full of interesting insights. The staff at the hotel are pleasant and help but not intrusive.
Traveling was a breeze! We flew into Pisa, took the train to Montevarchi, and even made a visit to Siena. The hotel arranged a smooth taxi ride to Siena for 120 euros, and our driver, Roberto, was incredibly warm and friendly.
Overall, we had the best time and can't wait to return!"
"Wonderful way to recharge and bond with friends!
Many options for different interests.
Hope to come back again. "
"The daily programme was very good and the setting for the outdoor classes was beautiful.
The food was excellent and with the added options of doing wine tasting and olive oil tasting it made for a really nice mix of daily activities. "
"My time at Tuscan Fitness was amazing! I experienced such a warm welcome and the staff and other yogi's were so incredibly fun and kind. The program was nicely scheduled and I enjoyed the different activities. I will definitely come back again and I can imagine to stay even longer.
Thank you Tuscan Fitness! "

"Tuscan Fitness was thoroughly enjoyable. Many activities were offered but you could choose what you want to participate in or just relax at the pool. There was a nice variety of food for each meal. Instructors made each yoga class enjoyable for all levels. I will definitely come again!"
"Was in Tuscan Fitness for 3 nights,
the staff was wonderful, the food was delicious.
I especially enjoyed the horse riding and the hiking around the hotel.
I'm sure i'll come back in the future!"
"This was the first yoga retreat I've been to and Tuscan Fitness have set a very high bar. The Tuscan countryside location is absolutely gorgeous and it was so lovely practising yoga outside surrounded by such beautiful views.
All of the staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble and they provided lovely extra touches such as a bottle of bubbly in our room to celebrate our anniversary! The instructors were brilliant and the yoga sessions and workouts were suitable for all abilities, without a competitive feel to it, just nice vibes.
It's very well organised from the schedule of activities, ordering of meals at the meal before, and the option of shuttles to and from the train station. I really liked the flexibility provided - you didn't have to do all of the activities and there was no pressure either way, but yet there was plenty available to do throughout each day, with the option for extras such as massages and horse riding (and I had the best massage I've ever had from Olaf!). The food was delicious, the accommodation was great, decorated in the Tuscan style, and the pool was perfect for cooling off in the July heat.
The biggest surprise of the trip was the connections made with the other retreat guests - eating all of our meals and doing activities together really allowed us to get to know people from different places and elevated the experience for me.
I left the retreat feeling better in my mind and body, truly reset. It has made me want to continue to be more active in day to day life, and that I should make this an annual trip!"
"I participated a 7-day yoga & fitness-retreat in July 2024 and absolutely loved this retreat in beautiful Tuscany. I cannot imagine what I wouldve hoped to be different: the yoga was really good, horse riding was amazing - I especially loved how well the horses were treated, HIIT-classes and hiking as well. And on top of that high quality wine and olive oil tasting near by, great food, lovely facilities and more. And above all, just the nicest staff. If you are looking to enjoy beautiful Tuscany with lovely people and be active as well (if you want to),
this should be your choice."
"I went to this retreat with my daughter and we both had the most amazing time! Everything was perfect from the communication at booking stage to the daily yoga classes, the hikes through the mountains, the visits of the wineries, etc. We were immediately integrated in to the group and met lovely people from all over the world! The meals were all freshly prepared with delicious local produce. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable - a home from home. We also had massages by Elske and Olaf which were great. It couldn’t have been better there was literally nothing we didn’t like. We will definitely be back next year! "
"Amazing location, great staff. The perfect way to unwind and relax. "
"I’m already thinking of redoing this experience soon. I’m so glad I picked this one. Every single detail authentic and professional. I loved all of it. Food, hikes, the unreal scenery. Most of all I loved the people behind it all. I certainly enjoyed and left a part of my heart in Tuscany ❤️
Hope I can come again. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. "
"My experience was positive from the moment I arrived. The staff were warm, friendly and made my stay special. The morning and evening yoga, held in a beautiful space, filled me with peace and the spiritual renewal I much needed. In addition to yoga, there are opportunities to trek, horse ride and participate in keep fit classes. Furthermore, the schedule has wine and olive oil tasting for those who would like to participate. All visitors can participate in as many activities as they choose. I opted for a reiki session which was really beneficial.
The accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The food was excellent and care was taken to provide for the various dietary needs of the visitors.
I highly recommend this experience and hope to return next year. "
"Our stay at Tuscan Fitness was a special birthday treat organised by my girl friends. They decided that I would just love to do some yoga in Italy!
What we didn’t know was how beautiful the area was, everything was superbly organised and everyone was very helpful and kind. There was a wine tasting experience, visits to where the local olive oil is produced and hiking in the area as well, all of which was expertly organised and very enjoyable.
Thank you Tuscan Fitness, it was a special few days away with friends and a birthday treat to remember.

"This was a really great experience:
the yoga sessions had the best intensity, with the teachers always giving options to make it easier or a bit more challenging. very nice food also with veggie and vegan options. very nice atmosphere in the group, everyone being very open and sweet.
the hikes were easy to do without outdoor experience, also very informative. "
"I had an amazing experience during our fitness retreat. The retreat offered a nice mix of relaxation, high intensity and nice scenery. Every morning we woke up the mind and body with a yoga session, before enjoying some breakfast and a hike (the hikes were very beginner friendly I'd say). In the afternoons we did HIIT sessions before another yoga session. Other than that, the retreat offered a really lovely stay, with a swimming pool and horses walking around the area.
I was also very lucky as the whole group of people that were there at the same time as me were super friendly, and so we had a great time! And most importantly, all the fitness instructors and people working there were super friendly and they ensured I was given vegetarian options for all meals as I don't eat meat. Would definitely recommend this place! "
"Felt great at ASHA from the time of arrival to leaving. It's a beautiful, spacious, quiet environment with excellent facilities. The attention to detail in every aspect (workshop spaces, pool, gardens, dining/ relaxing areas and accommodations) was apparent, and all the staff and volunteers I met there were kind and. helpful.
I attended a different kind of event there than their 'breath work' offerings, so can't comment on them. But I really appreciated that many of the staff/volunteers participated in what we were doing in an open and positive way. They were a diverse and delightful group of people with a clear commitment to honesty and caring in interpersonal relations.
The vegan food is prepared with care and beautifully presented. Those of us attending who wanted some 'additions' such as egg or cheeses were allowed to store them in a separate fridge in a separate 24 hr 'cafe' area where we could also make hot drinks as we wanted. "
"My recent stay at the Tuscan Fitness villa was a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat. I truly appreciated the beauty and amenities of the resort as well as the yoga and hikes. All of the instructors and guides were great at what they do and you can tell their love for La Forra. I also chose to get a massage and that was pure perfection leaving me on another level of bliss. Whether you do all of the activities or just a few you can't go wrong. The additional options of wine and oil tastings is a great bonus and obviously the food is superb! My experience was cut short by a virus but Alix and her team were very accommodating. I see why people go back again and again!"
"My stay at La Forra was amazing, Patrizia took care of everything and worked hard to ensure my stay was perfect.
The yoga instructors’ Elske and Meghan gave so much attention & genuine care , and ensured everyone felt comfortable in the class. I enjoyed the classes immensely thank you so much. Elske and Meghan had the ability to connect and create an environment conducive to safe and welcoming practice.
I had a massage from Olaf, that was blissful, I was so relaxed after such an outstanding massage.
The setting at La Forro is idyllic setting to practice yoga and hike. To top it all the food was lovely.
Overall my stay at La Forra was special and unique experience, friendliness of the host was second to none. I met lots of lovely people share an amazing time in this beautiful setting.
A very special mention to Tim from Wisconsin, what a gentleman, he travelled back into Florence Pertrola Airport. He assisted to navigate the journey and wouldn’t let me lift my case. A true gentleman, thank you so very much

"Place is very nice, beautiful landscape and good room and bed, but you share the hotel with other people, children ... sometimes noisy around the pool.
yoga classes with Elska are very good and respectfull of your needs.
In restaurant, you have to eat "with the group" at the same table, and wait for everybody to be there, what can be quite late (dessert at 8, 8.30PM). It's ok if you like to eat and talk with a lot of people (sometimes 16) but not if you want a piecefull moment. Unfortunately few vegan or vegetarian options (most of the dishes are with meat and a few vegetables available) even in the morning,especially if you stay for 1 week, what I didn't expect for a "yoga retreat""
"What a wonderful stay we had with Tuscan Fitness. The setting is simply stunning - early morning yoga on the deck overlooking the Tuscan hills with the soundscape of local birds is beautiful. All the staff, especially the yoga instructors, are so welcoming and go out of their way to give the best, most affirming experience. An excellent mix of different activities are on offer, but still a good opportunity to relax and refresh. I feel very grateful to have been able to experience the joy that is Tuscan Fitness. "
"Thank you for such a fabulous time spent at Tuscan Fitness. This is our second year returning and again it has been a fun, relaxing and the most enjoyable seven days. The yoga & fitness sessions have been wonderful & challenging as the instructors had a huge depth of knowledge & experience. I loved the hikes led by Dave who was incredibly knowledgeable about the Tuscan countryside & wildlife. Everybody at Tuscan Fitness were excellent - nothing i felt was too much trouble - as they all wanted everybody to get as much out of the experience as possible. Food, accommodation, reception & hotel staff were also superb. Olive & wine tasting and the trip the chianti country was also excellent. I came away feeling rejuvenated, happy and looking forward to next year’s Tuscan Fitness experience. Thank you all for a magical time enjoyed every single day. Jill "
"This retreat is indescribable but I will try and throw a few words together to capture its elegance. If you need healing, looking for peace, searching for a calm mind, and enjoy being entrenched in an absolute fairytale landscape then you will thoroughly enjoy Tuscan fitness ! I can’t wait to hopefully come back one day.. my heart and soul are forever embedded on the yoga deck. Thank you so very much for this beautiful space !"
"The team at Tuscan Fitness made my stay really special. Beautiful location, delicious food and fun activities including hiking and wine tasting. The outdoor yoga space and guidance was a treat. "
"It’s my 3rd time with the Tuscan Fitness guys. I have made many yoga retreats around the world and by far this is the best… staff is incredible, classes are great and food is amazing. What to add? Looking forward to come for my 4th retreat ❤️"
"You don't need to be a Yogi to enjoy it. The place is incredible, the staff is welcoming and friendly, and the food is amazing.
You have several activities you can pick and enjoy. I would definitely go back."
"I moved from Sydney to Abu Dhabi in Sept 23 and when I got an unexpected week of national holidays for EID in April, I decided to book a trip. Tuscan Fitness was the bom!! I'm so delighted that I picked this one. The right combination of yoga (twice a day) wine tasting, olive oil tasing, local markets visit: each day is curated by Alix and the Tuscan fitness team to give you a variety of thing to do, or you can stay in the beautiful accommodation and soak up the Tuscan sunshine. I did all of the activities on offer each of the day I was there but it's totally optional. The food was outstanding as was the dinner conversation over a vino with the other guests and our fabulous yoga instructor from California.
On the last day we made a dash for my train (I caught it by the way thanks to Alix's husband dropping me off, thank you). Everything went perfectly from the pick up at the train station to the oil tasting with Alix's brother. Thank you Alix & the Tuscan Fitness family."
