Frequently Asked Questions
Is this retreat right for me?
This retreat is designed for women who value movement, curiosity, good food, and meaningful experiences. You don’t need to be an experienced traveler, athlete, or “wellness person.” If you’re open, curious, and excited by the idea of exploring Italy slowly and intentionally, you’ll feel very at home here.
How physically demanding is the retreat?
Movement is a supportive part of the experience, not the focus. Morning strength sessions are accessible and adaptable, and the e-bike day is designed to be enjoyable for all levels. Nothing is mandatory — you’re always invited to participate in a way that feels good in your body..
Why Umbria?
Umbria is often called Italy's green heart. Here, medieval hill towns, olive groves, vineyards, and family-run businesses create a slower, more authentic pace of life. It's a place where traditions are still part of everyday living, making it the perfect setting for a retreat centered on connection, culture, and simple pleasures.
How do meals work during the retreat?
Meals are designed to be one of the highlights of the retreat. At the villa, we'll enjoy leisurely breakfasts, abundant local ingredients, and several shared dinners featuring fresh, seasonal foods from the region. We'll shop in local markets, prepare some meals together, and even enjoy a wood-fired pizza night at the villa.
While we're exploring Umbria's hill towns, lunches and some dinners are enjoyed at local cafés and trattorias and are paid for individually. This gives you the freedom to order whatever appeals to you while experiencing the wonderful variety of Umbrian cuisine.
The balance of shared meals at the villa and dining out creates a relaxed, authentic, and flexible rhythm throughout the week.
What is the group size and overall vibe?
The retreat is intentionally small (5 women) to create ease, connection, and a sense of community. The vibe is warm, grounded, and welcoming — no forced bonding, no rigid schedules. Just a group of women sharing meaningful experiences in a beautiful setting.
