Italy’s Retreat at Podere Macchione
South of Siena, past a gravel road that has probably been there longer than most countries, there’s a farmhouse where nobody is asking you to optimize anything. Here, you get to move at the speed of joy, not the speed of your inbox.
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 guided meditative sound baths—including a floating sound bath 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 pizza-making night and hands-on pasta workshop. We’ll also spend an evening in the medieval streets of Siena — aperitivo in hand, la dolce vita in full effect. Between 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 isn’t a getaway. It’s five days of remembering what your own laugh sounds like, catching joy on purpose instead of catching everything else.
The Experience Includes:
✦ Round-trip transportation from Florence, so you can stop thinking the second you land
✦ Hours of nothing on the calendar, on purpose
✦ A Rollga foam roller shipped home, so the joy doesn’t stop when the trip does
✦ A small group of women who get it, without you having to explain
There’s also a private chef making every meal, so the only decision you have to make each day is which chair to sit in. One night we’re making pizza, badly and joyfully. Another we’re up to our elbows in pasta dough. And one evening we trade the villa for the medieval streets of Siena, aperitivo in hand, doing absolutely nothing productive with our evening.
Experience what it feels like to exhale, laugh a little louder, and remember that joy doesn’t need an occasion
The Macchione Property
Tucked into the rolling hills just south of Siena, Villa Macchione is a beautifully restored farmhouse estate — 8 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms — that feels both grounded and luxurious. Original brickwork, travertine stone, and exposed wooden beams create a sense of calm from the moment you walk in.
Eight private en-suite bedrooms. Multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. A pool. Grounds that feel like they belong to another century. It is spacious enough to have privacy. Intimate enough to feel like home.
The nearest town is 7 minutes away. Siena is 30 minutes. Florence Airport pickup is included for all guests.
Between sessions, the villa is yours — to wander, to journal by the pool, to sit in the sun and do absolutely nothing.
***We already have two women joining who DID NOT know each other before this. Now they are roommates for the week. That is the kind of connection this retreat creates.
