Maraviglia Spring

Retreat

⟟ Monte San Savino, Tuscany

May 9 - 14, 2026

Spring at Maraviglia is when everything comes alive again: wildflowers color the fields, the garden is lush, and the countryside feels open and generous. We’ll gather at the farmhouse for six slow days together, moving with the rhythm of the season.

Agricola Maraviglia

Agricola Maraviglia

You’ll be staying at Maraviglia, a farm house nestled among olive groves. This 300-year-old building has been lovingly restored, preserving its original structure and timeless charm.

Outside, enjoy a spacious garden, peaceful outdoor areas, and a pool—perfect for soaking in the serene beauty of Tuscany's mornings.

Each morning begins with gentle yoga to awaken the body and settle into the day.

The rest flows naturally: cooking and sharing meals around long tables, wandering through the hills, learning about the land and its flavors, or simply taking time to rest.

Trip Highlights

  • Thermal Baths

    We’ll take a day trip to the natural outdoor hot springs in an ancient Tuscan town. The drive there winds through rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and old stone hamlets; for lunch, we’ll savor the typical flavors of Val d’Orcia

  • Yoga with Madison

    Morning classes awaken body & mind with uplifting flows, while afternoons invite you into restorative stillness. Open to all levels, with gentle guidance for each participant, you’ll leave feeling nourished, grounded, and inspired.

  • Wine Tasting

    We’ll visit a historic Tuscan winery where tradition includes safeguarding rare, centuries-old grape varieties. In its ancient cellars, we’ll taste a selection of distinctive wines that embody the heritage and spirit of the region.

  • A Traditional Tuscan Table

    Dive into one of Tuscany’s most undiscovered areas, Val di Chiana. We’ll gather at a traditional restaurant where the seasons shape the menu, savoring dishes that carry the flavors and stories of the Tuscan countryside.

  • Market Day

    We’ll wander through the small weekly market in Monte San Savino, exploring stalls filled with seasonal produce and local specialties, and tasting the town’s famous porchetta, a centuries-old tradition of Tuscan cuisine

  • Hike to Gargonza Castle

    Setting off on foot from Maraviglia, we’ll hike through woodland paths to Gargonza, a medieval walled village overlooking the Valdichiana Valley. There we’ll wander its narrow streets and explore the castle, among the best-preserved in Tuscany.

  • Olive Oil Tasting

    There’s no better way to discover authentic Extra Virgin Olive Oil than by meeting a local producer. Guided through tasting, you’ll learn to recognize its aromas and textures and uncover the stories carried in each drop.

  • Fresh Pasta Making Class

    Discover the joy of handmade pasta! In this fun & informal class, you’ll learn every step of the pasta-making process. The recipes are intentionally easy so everyone can recreate them at home and bring a taste of Italy back to their kitchen.
