RETREATS
The Tuscan Retreat
We welcome you to our specialist Retreat Centre located in Tuscany, Italy focusing on Psychological and Physical Wellness. Here we cater for individuals, couples and groups.
Situated north of Pisa in the mountains of the Garfagnana where the beautiful Serchio River meanders through the countryside. Close enough to the walled city of Lucca (30 minutes away from the retreat) and yet surrounded by hilltop villages, restaurants, farmlands, olive groves and vineyards. This area has magnificent views of the Apennines. There are parks, canyons, and caves as well as nature reserves with opportunities for walking and cycling through oak and chestnut groves and past picturesque medieval hamlets with churches and castles.
We welcome our guests to our home-from-home: a lovingly restored eighteen-century farmhouse overlooking the hills where you can relax, reflect and engage in a range of activities. We offer a personalized service that uses the most current evidenced based solutions that provide you with the power and potential to be the person you seek to become.
