Your Retreat to Tuscany Women's Sample Itinerary
“So much space, such silence, so much time. To drift. To think. To let your mind roam anywhere it pleases. To dream. Perhaps the true luxury of our age is not the piles of goods we endlessly accumulate, but time. And perhaps the truest freedom is to be left alone.”
This is a sample itinerary
of a previous retreat.
Your adventure will take place in your own private villa nestled in the hills of Tuscany.
