- Team Sports Training Camp in Cascia, Umbria — 4 days
- Wildfitness Retreat at Forte San Giorgio, Elba — 7 days
Italy is a wonderful place to put your health first, and the programmes on this page make the most of very different corners of the country. You can choose between an island setting off the Tuscan coast and the hills of Umbria, with each retreat built around a clear daily rhythm of training, good food and rest. There are two live listings here, so it is easy to compare them side by side and find the one that fits your goals. On Elba, the Wildfitness Retreat at Forte San Giorgio runs for 7 days. Your day begins with movement before breakfast, often a hike or a session on the ground at the base of the fortress walls. Wildfitness coaches lead every session, and the emphasis is on using the landscape around you rather than relying on equipment, which gives the week a natural, outdoor feel. In Cascia, Umbria, the Team Sports Training Camp is a shorter, more structured option at 4 days. Each day is built around two 90-minute training blocks, one in the morning and one in the afternoon or early evening, with lunch and a rest in between. You stay at the hotel on a full-board basis, so breakfast and dinner are taken care of. If you want a longer stay shaped by nature and coached outdoor movement, Elba will suit you well. If you prefer a compact, focused block of twice-daily training, Cascia is a strong choice.
