ACCOMMODATIONS:
Villa Tramonte retreat center offers the warmth & intimacy of an elegant Tuscan villa in a secluded setting. The fully restored 18th Century estate is surrounded by natural woodlands and overlooks a panorama of olive groves and fruit trees. With 10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms our retreat center is ideal for retreat groups of up to 20 people.
The property has been decorated elegantly in classic Tuscan style. With plenty of outdoor tables to eat al fresco, the villa boasts beautiful, landscaped gardens, a swimming pool, a dedicated yoga studio and an outdoor grassed area for practicing yoga. The estate produces its own fine quality cold pressed oil and seasonal fruit and vegetables.
There is a lovely swimming pool located away from the villa where retreat guests can cool down after long hikes or simply relax whilst soaking up the tranquility.
Ideally located 15 minutes from Lucca, 45 minutes from Pisa, 1.5 hrs from Florence and 1.5 hrs from the breathtaking Cinque Terre region, Villa Tramonte offers an opportunity to truly relax and unwind in a unique location whilst offering the perfect base to explore Tuscany and Liguria.
MEALS:
Our retreat menu is vegetarian and we have a wonderful local cook who prepares deliciously fresh dishes based on what is in season and the region’s specialties. As we are in Tuscany, we do indulge in local cheeses, pasta, breads, wines and other delights, so although our menu is not a strict cleanse, we do offer plenty of healthy choices with nuts, seeds, legumes, plenty of vegetables and salads, rice, amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, fresh fruit and yogurt.
We source our food from local producers and wherever possible, we use organic grains, fruit and vegetables. We also make our own fresh fruit and vegetable juices every morning and offer cleansing herbal teas. Organic wine, olive oil and honey are produced in the surrounding agricultural area and served during our retreats.
Guests are free to help themselves to fresh fruit, water and herbal teas every day.
ACTIVITIES:
We have two day-trips and one evening outing planned. However, everything is optional giving you the flexibility to adapt the week to your own individual needs. We have a bike and walking tour of charming nearby Lucca early in the week, guided by an equally charming guide who has a deep family history in Lucca. We will tour a local winery and have a tasting. Mid-week we have an all-day excursion to sensational Cinque Terre (the Five Lands), beautiful, vividly colored villages located on cliffs overlooking the Ligurian Sea. And on our night out we will enjoy sunset aperitivo in the Apuan Alps and then stop in Pietrasanta for a few hours to enjoy wandering the streets of this colourful artists village.
There will also be plenty of free time to explore or relax “Under the Tuscan Sun,” poolside at the Villa, or on a hike.
