I hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer.

Earlier this year, we made the decision to take a sabbatical from offering our Tuscan Girls’ Getaways in 2025 and concentrate on our Tuscan Classic Car Rallies. As we had been hosting the Girls Getaways since 2009, we thought that it was time for us to take a little breather.

We received so many messages of disappointment – we felt terrible. So we listened to you all and have now added three Tuscan Girls’ Getaways in 2025, with one already sold out.

These are extraordinary retreats that put women from all walks of life, different countries, and a variety of ages together. There is nothing quite like the camaraderie of women and when you add in the experts such as mindfulness and meditation teachers, nutritional therapists, yoga instructors and forest bathing, hiking and biking alongside superb fresh organic food from our local farms, copious amounts of delicious Tuscan wine and sumptuous luxury accommodation – well, magic happens under these Tuscan skies.

Oh, and a location that is so stunning that it is a UNESCO Heritage site.

The Villa Reniella estate is perched on its own hill below a 13th century medieval village and looks out over olive groves and vineyards, a view that has not changed in many centuries. Our little corner of paradise will not only revitalise the soul, but time spent here creates clarity for that next chapter and brings joy to all.

Our 100 acres of chestnut forest, olive groves and vineyards are yours to explore and to discover. You will find plenty of quiet places to rest, think and plan, go for walks on curated paths, or sit with new friends and enjoy a chat and drink while admiring the Tuscan sunset.

There is a wonderful story in Toronto Life magazine this month about life at Villa Reniella and our dream of taking on the challenge of renovating an ancient ruin. Here is a link to the story.

These are the new retreat dates for 2025 and more information can be found on our website www.tuscangetaway.com. Each retreat has a maximum of only18 participants and sells out quickly.
