Picture this: As you gently awake in your luxurious bedroom, with the tuscan sun glistening through the shutters you realise: THIS is paradise.
You make your way down the old wooden staircase, your feet cool on the old stone floor. A stroll through the grass, to your Yoga mat. After taking in the stunning view, you close your eyes and take a few breaths. Can you feel it? The magic of Tuscany?
Join us for the first ever, I Am That – Studio retreat
Nestled on the top of a hill, our Tuscan Villa is located about 90 minutes out of Florence, in Poppi, Province d’Arezzo. A beautiful, 25-minute walk to the nearest village (or 5 minute bike ride) means convenience and access while at the same time, total immersion in nature.
It offers 360-degree views of the region. Our yoga shala is set as a lookout point – you will be breathing and moving while taking in the landscape of vineyards, farms and nature.
The main house is equipped with several luxurious, ensuite-rooms as well as 2 living areas, a fully equipped kitchen (that we will be stocking with treats and necessities for the duration of your stay) and a lookout terrace.
Additional accommodation is offered by the 2 separate flats that afford a little more privacy and the opportunity to join as a group.
The outside spaces include an al-fresco dining area, a large pool, the outdoor studio with views of the hills, plenty of access to walks and hikes, and ample space to lounge around and take in the beauty of it all!
