Vacation Retreats & Getaways

Wake up in the mountains of Abruzzo with the sun rising over vineyards, the scent of espresso brewing, and a table set with fresh bread, fruit, and honey from the farm. Life here moves at a slower rhythm, giving you the space to restore, reflect, and reconnect with yourself while being cared for like family.

Every season brings its own beauty and traditions:

  • Spring (March–May): Seeds are planted and gardens come alive. You’ll see the fields bursting with wildflowers and take part in tending the first sprouts of tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini.

  • Summer (June–August): The gardens are overflowing. Spend your mornings harvesting tomatoes, eggplant, onions, and squash, then join in the family tradition of making fresh tomato sauce to savor at dinner.

  • Fall (September–November): The olive and grape harvests fill the air with excitement. Press olives into golden oil, walk through the vineyards, and taste wine made just steps away from where the grapes grew.

  • Winter (December–February): A quieter time in the mountains. Warm, hearty meals, local wine, and cozy evenings by the fire create the perfect setting for deep rest and reflection.

How you spend your days here depends on what you’re seeking. Some guests dive into the farming traditions, learning the art of winemaking, olive oil pressing, or seasonal cooking. Others prefer exploring nearby villages, hiking forest trails, or sitting in stillness to soak in the mountain air. For many, it’s a mix of both — learning, wandering, and resting in equal measure.

Your retreat includes:

  • A stay in a family home in the mountains, with private rooms designed for comfort and quiet.

  • Daily meals prepared with love by Piero’s family, made from produce grown on their land.

  • Seasonal activities and excursions, from farm walks to mountain hikes, cultural visits, or afternoons at the Mediterranean coast, we curate the perfect experience for you.

This is an invitation to live gently, eat well, and reconnect with what matters most. When you return home, it won’t just be with photographs, but with the taste of a sweet life still lingering.

Transformational & Mindfulness Retreats

Sometimes, stepping away from daily life is what allows us to hear ourselves again. In the quiet of the Abruzzo mountains, with nourishing meals prepared for you and days curated with care, you’ll have the space to restore your energy and reconnect with what truly matters.

These retreats are designed for those craving more than a vacation. They are for the dreamers, the doers, the seekers who want to slow down long enough to listen to their heart. Between walks through vineyards, dips in the Mediterranean, and evenings gathered around the table with Piero’s family, you’ll find the balance of rest, inspiration, and transformation that only a place like this can offer.

What’s included:

  • A beautiful stay in the mountains with private rooms for comfort and rest.

  • Daily farm-to-table meals, sourced from the land and prepared with love.

  • Guided activities and excursions, blending cultural immersion with spacious time for reflection and self-connection workshops

  • A safe space of support, by professional transformation coaches, to release old patterns, recharge your energy, and step back into life with clarity.
