Reconnect with yourself through nature immersion, art, food, and meditation...
Olive Grove Wellness invites you to a soul-nourishing retreat in the serene heart of Tuscany.
Slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with yourself, with nature, and with the rhythm of the Italian countryside. This is more than a vacation—it’s an invitation to savor life at its fullest.
Set during the magical olive harvest season, this fully guided retreat blends daily meditation, slow food, rich cultural experiences, and moments of deep rest under the Tuscan sun. You’ll stay in a charming farmhouse villa perched on a hillside, surrounded by olive orchards and sweeping views of Florence—with full access to the villa’s private botanical gardens throughout your stay.
Each day offers something to awaken the senses and feed the soul:
• Sunrise meditations to ground and energize
• Hands-on olive harvesting and pressing—connect to the land, the season, and tradition
• A relaxed, behind-the-scenes visit to Pisa from a local’s perspective
• Horseback rides along golden countryside trails
• Wine tasting at a local vineyard rooted in centuries of heritage
• A magical dinner overlooking the towers of San Gimignano
• An experiential cooking class using seasonal ingredients from nearby farms
• Ample time to explore the beauty and depth of Florence, with local insight and guidance every step of the way
You’ll be nourished with farm-fresh, homemade Italian meals: 7 curated lunches and dinners, and daily organic breakfasts prepared with love from local ingredients.
This is a fully guided journey, from start to finish. All activities are thoughtfully designed and optional—you’re free to shape your days with intention, presence, and joy.
