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.
How you spend your days here is entirely up to you. Some guests love immersing themselves in the rhythms of the land, learning the art of winemaking, olive oil pressing, or seasonal cooking. Others are drawn to exploring nearby villages, wandering forest trails, or simply sitting in stillness to soak in the mountain air. Many find their sweet spot somewhere in between, a gentle balance of learning, wandering, and resting, all at their own pace.
Children of all ages are welcome, so bring the whole family to enjoy the magic of the mountains together!
Every retreat is a custom-tailored experience, where you choose what you desire and shape your own dream vacation, without all the hassle of researching hotels, experiences, and activities, on your own. Leave it up to us!
A stay in a family home in the mountains, with private rooms designed for comfort and quiet.

Your only job is to arrive, relax, and enjoy. The hustle and hassle of daily life melt away here — all that’s left is presence, adventure, and being fully held by the slowness of the Italian countryside.
An experience you won’t find anywhere else!
What’s included in your retreat experience?
Every season brings its own beauty and traditions!
-
Seeds are planted and gardens come alive. Fields burst with wildflowers, and the first sprouts of tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini begin to show. It’s a season of freshness, color, and renewal.
Just minutes away, the beaches invite you with their sparkling beauty, the perfect complement to the life of spring in the mountains.
-
The gardens overflow with abundance. Family meals are filled with ripe tomatoes, eggplant, onions, and squash, and the air carries the aroma of fresh tomato sauce simmering. Long days and warm nights make it a season of celebration and savoring — with afternoons at the nearby beaches offering the perfect balance of sun, sea, and relaxation.
-
Olive and grape harvests fill the countryside with energy. Golden olive oil flows from the press, vineyards glow in rich colors, and the first wines of the season are freshly made — young, vibrant, and full of life. It’s a time of gathering, gratitude, and savoring the gifts of the land!
-
A quieter time in the mountains. Warm, hearty meals, local wine, and cozy evenings by the fire create space for deep rest and reflection. For those who love adventure, ski slopes are just minutes away — spend the day on the mountain, then return to the farmhouse to unwind and be nourished.
