Tuscany Travel Retreats
For Lovers of Cuisine, Tradition, and Culture.
Imagine
waking up in the heart of Tuscany. Looking out your window and excited to see Italy with someone who has actually lived there!
Visualize being able to travel to gorgeous places all over Tuscany with a former resident of Florence. You'll be introduced to my personal friends who share their love of their country through their passion.
It's not like any other retreat, you are being welcomed into my Italian family.
Are you...
-
itching to travel to Italy?
-
an adventure-seeking person?
-
a first time traveler to Italy?
-
a free-spirit who wants to explore culture, language, and history?
-
wanting to visit places that bring you into the present moment?

someone who wants to feel like being part of a Tuscan family?
When you come on a week-long retreat with Truly Italy, you’ll learn about Italian culture, traditions, language, and my favorite: cuisine and wine. On our women's retreats, we'll explore meditation and yoga with a focus on self!
What to expect
Your guide, Katie, has lived in Florence as a resident for over 11 years. Our intention is to show you the hidden gems of the most gorgeous country. Katie's husband, Stefano, (a Florentine) will be your driver throughout the week. Katie's mother-in-law, Fernanda, will be our chef for the week. She makes each meal with her heart and it shows.
Each morning you'll enjoy an Italian style breakfast, we'll visit a town nearby to learn about culture and have lunch either in town or at a nearby vineyard. You'll have plenty of downtime to walk around the villa and explore nature.
You can sit poolside and read your book with a glass of red in hand, feeling the sun set behind the cypress trees. Uninterrupted.
The point is to take your time at each stop, each moment of your trip.
This is a cultural experience, not just a vacation.
We'll be present amongst delectable wines, splendid views, and simple recipes. Come and reignite yourself with experiences of pasta, wine and many other treasures Italy has to offer.
After a week in Italy, you’ll feel refreshed, grounded, and recharged. You go home with stories of everything you've seen, eaten and experienced.
Best part, you'll become a part of my family.
