Italy · 7 days
Caseverdi Villa San Lorenzo is a gated estate in Central Italy, restored to include modern conveniences inside an older villa. The main house has eight bedrooms, all ensuite, across three storeys, and sleeps up to 16 (18 with two rollaway beds). A separate two-bedroom Piccola Villa San Lorenzo can be opened to the main house or closed off for privacy, bringing the total to ten bedrooms and eleven bathrooms for up to 24 guests.
The Catch Your Breath week runs 18–24 October 2026 and is led by John Sahakian with Caseverdi. The programme centres on breathwork, with yoga on the view patio mentioned on the property's own pages. The rest of the day is left open: swim in the large pool, walk the orchard and gardens, or take the short trip into town.
The property has a fully stocked commercial kitchen plus a second full kitchen in the Piccola Villa, three living rooms and dining areas, and outdoor seating with views over the pool, orchard, gardens, hillsides and Lake Trasimeno. The estate also runs green initiatives.
What separates this from a hotel-based retreat is that the group takes over a private house. There is no lobby, no other guests, and the kitchen and dining rooms are yours for the week. The same property runs a separate Sommelier Certification & Culinary Retreat from 25–31 October 2026, so this is one of two autumn weeks rather than a year-round programme.
Florence is a short distance away for a day trip, and the local area has bars and food shops within easy reach. The villa's own posts mention olive harvesting on the estate and tastings of local wine and prosciutto.
