UMBRIA, ITALY

The Serenità Wellness Retreat for women offers an opportunity to give back to the one who matters most- yourself. With a focus on self-care and rest, you can prioritize your well-being, all while inviting in a newfound sense of rejuvenation as you sink into the natural and cultural pleasures of the lush Italian countryside.

At our week-long retreat, you will reconnect to yourself, nature, and the like-minded women joining you on your journey. Whether you're at a crossroads in life, looking to step into a new adventure, or just needing time to deeply relax and enjoy the quintessential countryside life, you'll find what you're looking for. Above all, you will embody "il dolce far niente", the sweetness of doing nothing.

As the founder of the retreat, I invite you to share in my passion for Italy and its traditions, and the joy that comes from self-discovery, presence in nature, and joining a lasting community. Click here to learn more about my journey.

With love, Olivia

From the Serenità Community -

The Serenità Retreat has changed my life for the better. I was fearful at first. Fearful of travelling solo for the first time. Fearful of leaving my world and day to day obligations but something inside me was calling me to do this retreat. I am so thankful I did. Olivia and the Monestevole crew have truly created the most beautiful unique experience of a lifetime. I could never have imagined that a group of 12 women from different parts of the world, different ages and life experiences could have bonded this hard in such a short amount of time. I call these women my forever friends. The retreat is so balanced with a mixture of everything from group sessions, yoga, hiking, dancing, cooking, creating and much more. I can't thank Olivia enough for this opportunity. I took the leap of faith and learned so much about myself and what I am willing to accomplish on my own. A forever Thank you.

We believe that women should be seen, and cared for, in the holistic, free-flowing way that allows women to naturally blossom. The raw and untamed nature of the land we'll call home creates the container for body, mind, and soul to thrive -

Awaken the body with mindful movement, yoga, salt-water swims, and mountain hikes.

Nourish the body and soul with local culinary delights, home-cooked meals made from recipes passed down through the generations, and use your own hands to make the food that you adopt into your own family tradition.

Open the heart with laughter and stories shared over meals and wine, and group workshops designed to foster ease of connection, story-telling, reflection, and creativity.

Stir the soul with meditative practice, intentional connection to the land and animals, feeling in awe of the landscape and beauty of the smallest details, leaning into your artistic side, and opening to possibility.

Community and Connection

We believe in the power of community. Our retreats are designed to create a space where women can connect deeply, share their stories, and build lasting friendships. We'll have a group chat going long before the retreat begins, and community forums that will extend the retreat experience, allowing for continued support and connection long after the retreat ends.

Our Retreat Home

Located on an enchanting 15th-century medieval property far from town, our retreat spans approximately 100 hectares of forest, vineyards, olive groves, and organic gardens. The lovingly restored estate offers breathtaking views and a serene environment, perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature.
