La Vita Bella || Tuscany

May 9th- 15th, 2025

Join Steph and Polina May 9th-15th, 2025, in the stunning Tuscan countryside, for an unforgettable 7-day retreat that will nourish your body, awaken your spirit and reignite your zest for life. 

Here in the heart of Italy awaits an experience like no other. Indulge your senses on this journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation, where time slows down. Every moment is infused with the essence of ‘La Dolce Vita”- the sweetness of life found in every smile, every shared meal and every moment of presence.

La Vita Bella represents the profound “beauty of life”. This retreat is an opportunity to celebrate life and celebrate yourself.

Immerse yourself in twice-daily practices including Vinyasa, Kundalini, Kriya Yoga, meditation, restore, chanting, yoga nidra, and more. These practices are designed to de-stress your nervous system, calm your mind, and connect you to your heart. Taking the time away from the busyness of life to immerse yourself in the ancient practice of yoga can help you to feel more radiant and vital in a lasting, impactful way.

You will have plenty of free time to relax by the pool, pamper yourself in the private spa, and bask in the breathtaking nature that surrounds you so that you feel truly replenished and renewed, inside and out.

This retreat also includes a guided day trip to explore the rich history and culture of Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lose yourself in the city’s charming streets, ancient landmarks, and vibrant atmosphere as you soak up the sights and sounds of this historic gem.

Our final evening together will be a celebratory dinner party under the Tuscan stars. Optional excursions to nearby towns or wine-tasting in one of the best regions of the world will be offered to those looking to further their cultural exploration.

OUR RETREAT HOME

Terzo di Danciano is a  beautifully restored medieval hamlet nestled in the breathtaking Tuscan landscape. Renovated to preserve its authenticity while offering modern comforts, it provides a unique blend of old-world atmosphere and contemporary “feel like home” experience and sustainable efficiency. Our group will have the property to ourselves, giving us the space to truly settle in.

Known since Roman times for its breathtaking panoramic position, it is surrounded by serene nature, overlooking  the border between Umbria and Tuscany near the beautiful city of Cortona. Here all the senses are immersed in an experience of lightness and great beauty.

  • The property has a terraced garden with a swimming pool overlooking pristine nature. It is oriented towards the rising sun, offering an awesome daily spectacle.

  • The private spa is designed to pamper you in exclusive privacy, offering you a hot water pool made of travertine stone with hydromassage, the detoxifying hot-stone hammam, the infrared sauna, a spacious shower to cool off surrounded by plants and a relaxation area overlooking the forest outside.

  • The garden has ancient mulberry and olive trees from which we harvest olives to produce our own cold-pressed virgin olive oil. The garden unfolds in 3 cultivated terraces with stone wall perimeters and enjoys a breathtaking view of the valley.

  • The yoga classes will be held in a beautiful theater - a stunning spacious seminar hall with its aged wooden floor and bare stone walls.
