Seven nights at a centuries-old stone farmhouse folded into the olive-covered hills above the Val di Cecina, gathered with a small circle of women for slow mornings, long tables, and the kind of golden light Tuscany keeps for itself.
Villa Fonteintanata sits quietly above the Val di Cecina, a seventeenth-century farmhouse with stone archways, wide terraces, and a working olive grove all its own. For eight days, up to eighteen women will make it home — trading itineraries for instinct, and busyness for the particular rhythm of Tuscan life.
Co-hosted by Becky Peters of Moments in Bloom and Aimee Scott of Vacations with Aimee, the week is held by two advisors who know exactly how to take care of a group of women — down to the smallest detail.
Every excursion, every meal, every long dinner under the pergola is already taken care of. All you have to do is show up and let the week unfold — the pool, the garden, a glass of local wine at golden hour, and the company of women who came ready to slow down and savor la vita toscana.
Villa Fonteintanata isn't just where you'll sleep — it's a working regenerative farm. Over 500 centenarian olive trees shade the property, a vegetable garden supplies the kitchen with what's ripe that morning, and the villa's own chickens and bees round out a pantry that barely has to leave the grounds.
Every meal of the week — breakfast, lunch, and dinner, right down to the wood-fired pizza nights — is prepared from that same soil, often by hands that tend it. It's the difference between a meal that was delivered to Tuscany, and one that could only have come from here.
A gentle frame, not a fixed script — mornings and evenings left open on purpose. All excursions and meals below are included in your stay, and may flex slightly by weather and group energy.
Group transfer departs Florence for arrivals before 2pm. Settle into the villa through the afternoon, then as the sun drops behind the olive terraces, gather for a welcome aperitivo on the loggia followed by our first long table dinner together.
Florence Transfer by 2pmA morning spent hand-rolling pasta in the villa's own kitchen with our chef, followed by a relaxed afternoon at the villa to enjoy what you've made.
Included · Pasta Making ClassA full day away from the villa in the hilltop Etruscan town of Volterra — alabaster workshops, quiet piazzas, and lunch tucked into a medieval side street.
Included · Volterra Day TripAn unhurried e-bike tour winds through vineyards, woodlands, and stone villages in the cool of the morning. In the afternoon, we head to a nearby vineyard for a guided tour and tasting under the pergola.
Included · E-Bike Tour (AM) + Wine Tasting (PM)A full day exploring the Gothic heart of Siena — the shell-shaped Piazza del Campo, the striped marble Duomo, and quiet backstreets perfect for wandering and a long lunch.
Included · Siena Day TripA full afternoon at a nearby thermal spa — mineral pools, steam, and stillness. The rest of the day is unscheduled, on purpose.
Included · Thermal Bath & SpaA day to wander a nearby town, linger at the villa, or simply do nothing at all. As evening falls, we'll gather for a closing dinner under the stars — details to come.
Closing Dinner Under the StarsFarewells over one final espresso, and a group transfer back to Florence. If you are choosing to fly out on this day, please do not book a flight out of Florence before noon to accommodate transfer time.

A guided day exploring Volterra's alabaster workshops, Etruscan history, and hilltop piazzas some 3,000 years in the making.

A group gratuity fund will be collected in cash during the retreat and distributed to the villa staff, chef, and excursion guides on your behalf.
