Thoughtful retreats to nurture your adventurous and creative sides. Located in picturesque locations, Wanderful Retreats will help you artfully document your travels while we eat the local cuisine, explore the cobblestone streets and dive into all the wanderful things that make travel wonderful! We believe travel should be wanderful and filled exploration, creating and indulging in the local culin

ary treasures. So often when we visit a new place we're dependent on what information we can glean online, unsure of the merit behind the review. Imagine a week of guided visits to picturesque local towns with our own private driver with whisk us through the countryside. Visit historic churches and museums, and even the quieter ones that often get passed by. Follow us down quiet alleys to find the hidden gems that are overlooked by tourists.
​Capture the beauty of the scenery without your camera to really take in the view with one-on-one watercolor and sketching lessons on site. Know where to find the delicious treats and culinary delights that keep us coming back year after year after year. Enjoy lengthy meals in the company of new friends, paired with delicious wine that will leave you satisfied and loving life. And at the end of every day, we'll return to our quiet villa overlooking the valley to sip some prosecco by the pool and reflect on another wanderful day. With nearly a decade of experience traveling through Italy, we have curated a week long adventure that will leave you feeling relaxed, inspired and simply wanderful. By partnering with some of our beloved locals and gathering our favorite spots, you'll leave our retreats feeling like a local and longing for a return flight back! ​

Buona Festa delle Donne! ✨️ Happy International Women's Day!

I was so excited to come across this mimosa plant a few weeks ago in our neighborhood in LA.

These puffy little yellow blooms will always remind me of living at the study abroad center in Castiglion Fiorentino and all the delivery men bringing the kitchen ladies little bouquets of these flowers and chocolate 💛✨️

🐞🌻 Are you ready to seize the sunflower? Registration closes on our 2023 retreats soon, and there's just 1 spot left!

Quiet mornings in Lucca are magical ✨️ You have the streets to yourself, folks riding bikes to work and delivery drivers dropping off produce, milk and pasta. The other perk about an early morning in Lucca? Pastries fresh from the oven at the local pasticceria 🥐💕 We'll be staying about half a block away from this darling street and get to call this idyllic town home for a whole week!

Morning Monday zen watching Lucca with a birdseye view 😍

Yep, that is pretty 😍 We snapped this quick video during one of our evening strolls around the walls of Lucca. This little corner of Lucca is our closest ramp up on top of the walls that surround the historic center of town. It gives you a really pretty sunset watching spot, a look over the canal that runs through town and a peek into the Botanic Garden. It also just happens to be the perfect gelato munching spot 😘🍦

Just a little bit of the magic of Tuscany ✨️ There's only a few days left to reserve your room on 2023 and SAVE with our Early Bird Specials! Is one of the last rooms yours? We think so 😘

Mornings at the villa are pretty dang magical ✨️ Join us in May at our Retreats in Lucca (May 15-21) and Castiglion Fiorentino (May 23-29)! Today is the last day for our 2nd Early Bird Special window... save $175 on your retreat if you reserve your spot by tonight!
