Umbria, Italy

Dolce Sosta

A Sweet Reset in the Italian Countryside

our countryside retreat

A quiet week held in a stone farmhouse above the Umbrian valley. Mornings begin slow, with terrace coffee and the sound of church bells drifting up from the village below. Days unfold between olive groves and vineyard tables, long lunches that run into evening, and the kind of stillness that only comes from putting your phone away. This is not a tour. It's a place to arrive, and stay a while.

your retreat includes
  • 5 nights at a restored 17th-century monastery, perched in the hillside

  • Freedom to wander, mingle with the horses and farm animals, explore the nearby trails

  • Access to the grounds, the olive terraces, and the pool overlooking the valley

  • Daily meals

  • Wine and non-alcoholic beverages

  • Activities and Excursions

    • A morning in the garden picking what's ripe, followed by a fresh pasta making class with an Italian mamma

    • A day trip to Arezzo's famed antiques market.
      One of Italy's oldest and largest vintage fairs, spilling through the piazzas and side streets of the old town.

    • A truffle hunt through the rich truffle woods of the Torre Certalda’ with a local forager and his dog, followed by a truffle lunch

    • Our final night: six courses under the stars, cooked just for us

      • Chef Delfo leaves his Michelin restaurant in the north for one evening — candlelight, wine poured course by course, everyone at one long table, laughing long after dessert.

  • Daily gentle movement, for those who'd like to begin that way

  • A welcome gift, waiting for you on arrival

  • Photos taken throughout the week so you can enjoy your stay

  • All transport during the retreat

  • Our team on-site. Unwind while we take care of everything.

what's not included
  • Transport to Umbria, Italy

  • Travel insurance (recommended)

  • Optional extras (horseback riding, wine tasting, biking, etc.)

Our Monastery in Umbria

High in the hills above Umbertide, Il Posto is a restored stone farmhouse where the days move slow. Float in the pool as it looks out over the valley, wander the ancient olive groves, and watch the hillside turn gold at sunset. Goats, chickens, and horses roam the grounds, happy to make friends, while trails just beyond the gate lead through vineyards and truffle woods. It's a place built for lingering — long lunches, wine on the terrace, and the kind of stillness you don't find just anywhere.
