UMBRIA, ITALY
Serenità Wellness is honoured to host our groups at an enchanting 15th century medieval property, secluded in the high hills of Umbria, the 'green heart of Italy.' Think of it as the more lush, less touristy version of it's bordering region, Tuscany. This magical estate has been our home for all of our retreats since 2018! The property itself spans approximately 100 hectares, including a vineyard and olive grove, as well as organic gardens and forests. It is also home to farm animals, horses, and four dogs who are the heart and soul of the retreat (they love to be pampered!)
The estate has been lovingly restored, retaining all of the original charm and whose custodians proudly engage in self-sustainable practices. The ultimate beauty of this land is the community that presides over it - the family that pours love into its vineyards, olive groves, gardens, and the home itself.
We have been so grateful to feel like we, too, are part of the family - each and every woman who passes through their doors is welcomed into the and community as if they have always been a part of it. Get ready to be welcomed home!

YOUR RETREAT HOME
We acknowledge that travelling solo or sharing a room may feel daunting at first, but we promise that the experience is uplifting and allows for deeper connections and a sense of community. We strive to create a safe space where all women are welcome, and where sisterhood is our common ground.
Each bedroom has views of the surrounding hills and is part of one of two apartments, each with its own living area and kitchen. The property itself is home a salt water pool with a view of the mountains, a dedicated yoga studio, hammocks, and laundering. While we do encourage guests to engage in mindful presence without technology, we do acknowledge that keeping connected to family is important - as such, we do have accessible WiFi around the property.
Guests will be able to choose from a selection of three different eco-lux rooms - all of which are beautifully decorated in a traditional and luxurious rustic Italian style.
