Eleonora Lampis
Born near the Amalfi Coast and based in Rome, Eleonora is a passionate chef: the main ingredient in her recipes is love for food and for her guests.
She learned to cook at home: her first teachers were her grandfather and her mom. She has worked in several restaurants and run her own bistro, and six years ago she started working as a private chef, between Tuscany, Rome and the Amalfi Coast.
Eleonora fills our villa with incredible fresh, organic meals that we design together, and serves us daily with love and joy.
Antonella Pireda
Based in Montisi, Antonella is a rock-star private tour guide who is passionate about local tradition, art history, food and wine. She is even an official Cheese Taster!
Educated in Milan and having played host to hundreds of tourists over the years (including some well-known celebrities), Antonella will be your private Tour Guide during your customized excursions during the week.
Anna Lisa Tempestini
Anna Lisa was born in Chicago and moved to Italy with her family at age 4. She started practicing yoga in Florence when she was 19, and after many years of practicing various modalities, she became an instructor in 2012. She offers courses at her home studio, in Fattoria Resta, a 16th century former monastery just outside of Montalcino, and teaches yoga throughout Tuscany for private retreats and wellness centers.
Her practice incorporates Ashtanga, Hatha, and Anusara, putting special focus on the spine, breath and alignment, and guides us through morning yoga and meditation sessions during our retreat at the villa.
