Nestled in the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, near Siena, within the walls of a beautifully restored farmhouse, lies an invitation to pause, to breathe, and to return to yourself.

This exclusive women’s retreat is a carefully curated sanctuary, designed to harmonize vitality with deep tranquility. Each day unfolds as a gentle rhythm of nurturing practices: awakening the body with mindful mat pilates, journeying inward with immersive meditation and Sound Baths—including a magical session in the pool—and releasing the day with restorative myofascial rolling.

Beyond the mind and body connections, a private chef will craft exquisite, nourishing meals, and we will partake in a joyful pasta-making class. Between guided sessions, time becomes yours—to wander the villa’s ancient grounds, to reflect by the pool with journal in hand, or to simply be, lulled by the Italian sun.

This is more than a getaway; it is a reconnection. A rare opportunity to unwind, to restore, and to connect with a profound sense of inner ease amidst the timeless beauty of Italy.

· 3 Nights in a Luxuriously Restored Italian Farmhouse

· Daily Mat Pilates & Movement

· Daily Guided Meditation & Sound Baths (including a unique pool session)

· Evening Myofascial Release & Stretching

· Meals by a Private Chef

· A Hands-On Pasta and Pizza Making Class

The Macchione Property

This is an intimate experience designed for those who want real reset—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Tucked into the rolling hills just south of Siena, Villa Macchione is a beautifully restored 8-bedrooms, 8.5-bathrooms estate that feels both grounded and luxurious. Once an old farmhouse, it has been fully renovated into a bright, calming retreat home—designed for comfort, connection, and deep rest.

Inside, you’ll find airy open-plan living spaces, multiple areas to gather, and eight “sanctuary-style” bedrooms—each with its own private en-suite bathroom—making it ideal for an intimate retreat experience where privacy matters.

The Home

The villa blends authentic Tuscan character with modern ease: original brickwork, travertine stone, and exposed wooden beams create a peaceful atmosphere from the moment you walk in.

At the heart of the ground floor is a welcoming farmhouse kitchen, equipped to a very high standard with:

• a stainless-steel cooking island

• induction stove

• double oven

• American-style fridge freezer

• dishwasher

• separate glass-washer

The kitchen opens directly into two indoor dining areas:

• one seating up to 10

• another seating 14–16

There are also two relaxed seating areas for conversation, journaling, and integration.

Bedroom layout:

• One guest bedroom with en-suite is located right next to the main living area

• Three additional ground-floor guest bedrooms (each with en-suite) are accessed via their own external entrances along the side and back of the home

• Upstairs, you’ll find a large sitting room with a wood-burning stove, plus four more guest bedrooms and four en-suite bathrooms

Location & Getting Around

This is a peaceful countryside setting—quiet, spacious, and deeply restorative—yet still close to charming towns and iconic destinations.

• 7-minute drive to the local town

• About 30 minutes to the center of Siena

• Famous hilltop towns, including Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, and San Gimignano are all under an hour away

The villa sits on a large farm estate with scenic country roads (“Strada Bianca”). The final approach to the house is along a privately owned track, adding to the sense of privacy and seclusion.

Round-trip transportation between Florence Airport and the property will be provided for all retreat guests.
