We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable during our retreats, so here’s a little more detail about the accessibility of this villa: The property is a traditional building with multiple staircases throughout that requires just one step to enter. While many areas involve stairs, there are ground floor rooms available. Each bedroom of the villa has its own bathroom, so amenities are accessible no matter where you're staying. Some retreat activities—such as movie night—take place on the top floor of the villa, which is accessible via six flights of stairs. If you're unable to manage the stairs, alternative arrangements can be made to ensure you don’t miss out. All planned activities are technically accessible, but we do want to flag that our guided walk through the Medina involves extended periods of walking, including uneven terrain and cobbled streets, which may not be suitable for all mobility levels. If you have any accessibility concerns or would like to chat about your specific needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help make your retreat experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

What our guests are saying about their stay
Pure magic! From the moment we arrived at the most breathtaking villa nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills, Meagan made sure every detail felt like it had been curated straight out of an Italian dream.
I attended the February Caribbean reading retreat and wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars! This was the best vacation I could have imagined. Not only was the resort amazing, the conversation and the ladies could not have been better.
I had such a lovely time on my retreat to Sicily. Megan is an amazing host who really looked after all of the group and made the trip feel like a fab holiday with friends. I went alone and everyone was lovely - I will happily book again next year. Book! You won't regret it.
