The park sits around the Ponte Nero, a striking bridge you cross on foot to enter. From the entrance it is a 10-minute walk along river trails, streams and wooden bridges to the heart of the forest, and that walk is treated as the start of the experience rather than a commute. Guests are dropped at the park entrance; secure parking is 10 minutes away. Equipment is carried in by backpack, and small items can come in over the zip-line on request.

There are four distinct spaces for practice. The Forest Retreat Deck is a 90 m² platform shaded by flowing canopies, used for yoga, meditation and workshops. The SUP Yoga Platform is a formation of 16 connected boards shaped like a flower, floating on emerald-green water, where groups practise on the river itself. The meadows, riverside areas and woodland trails are used for walking meditation and outdoor sessions. Several outdoor fire pits host fire rituals and group ceremonies after dark.

Meals are handled two ways. The Forest Kitchen is a field kitchen where groups cook together over open flames, described by the venue as an almost ancestral way of preparing food. For day meals there are "zip lunch" boxes built from local, zero-kilometre ingredients, with vegetarian and vegan options and recyclable packaging. The villa partner provides vegetarian and vegan menus built around fresh Tuscan produce, adjusted to each group's needs.

Optional extras are arranged with local partners: the canyon zip-line, which the venue describes as Italy's first and only aerial route over the canyon; a SUP descent along the canyon's calm water; hiking the historic Via dei Metati through forests and streams; forest massages among the trees; a night in the forest in tents or suspended hammocks; and a hands-on forest cooking class over open flames.

The venue was named Wellness Retreat of the Year – Italy in the Travel & Hospitality Awards 2026. Operations are deliberately low-impact: ecological toilets, waste sorting with designated collection points, minimal infrastructure, and a share of revenue going to local cultural, conservation and community projects through the ECOlab project.
