Tom provided a perfectly curated experience of some of the gems Tuscany and the surrounding areas. The people were absolutely amazing. This was a life changing trip for my family and I.

This retreat was wonderful. The villa is beautiful and the surrounding countryside is spectacular. Our on-site host, Tom, was welcoming and attentive: he connected easily and genuinely with every participant and was instrumental in helping foster the good energy of the group. The overall focus on wellness, the opportunity to travel by way of several excellent day trips, and the genuine human connection made this retreat something truly memorable. Highly recommend!
