5 Day Women's Wellness & Pilates Retreat in Tuscany, Italy

The retreat runs over five days and four nights, with daily Pilates and mobility work, a vineyard visit, guided yin yoga and meditation, and a pasta-making class at a local estate. The schedule leaves big gaps in the afternoons, so you can rest by the pool, walk into nearby villages, or just be still in the garden.

What makes this different is the scale and the host. Groups are kept intentionally small, and Gabrielle—a BASI Comprehensive-certified instructor with extra training in scoliosis, injuries, and pathologies—teaches every session herself. She came to Pilates through injury and later an autoimmune diagnosis, and the retreat reflects that experience: movement is framed as a way to listen to your body, not push it.

The food is another draw. Meals are built around seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, and the welcome dinner alone—long tables, good wine, conversation—sets the tone. A complimentary private Pilates session is included for guests who book through this listing, along with concierge flight help and post-retreat integration support.

The location is the third pillar. Being in a medieval hamlet rather than a purpose-built resort means you get genuine countryside quiet, a working landscape, and the chance to explore places like Pistoia or Florence if you want to. The estate itself has a pool, gardens, and plenty of corners to sit with a book.
