Getting there:Casanuova is located just 25km south of Florence, outside of Figline Valdarno. The nearest airports are the Florence-Peretola Airport and the Pisa Airport. The villa staff suggest renting a car on arrival as it makes it much easier to enjoy the surrounding villages and regions. If you are interested in car-pooling with another participant, please let us know as we’d be happy to facilitate a match. Click here for driving directions to Casanuova.
A taxi from Florence to Casanuova costs around €100 and will take a maximum of 8 passengers. Better yet, is the Rome/Arezzo train (€3.5), about a half hour trip to Figline Valdaro (should you decide on this option, please contact the staff at Casanuova to arrange a taxi from town to the villa).
Remember: you must have a valid passport to enter the country!
Meals: Our hosts pride themselves on the fresh, delicious cuisine supplied largely from their organic gardens. An energizing breakfast including fresh fruits, cheeses, nuts, cereals and homemade breads, plus Italian coffee and herbal teas will be on offer beginning at 8:30 every morning and can be enjoyed, weather permitting, on the terrace overlooking the garden and hills.
The menus for dinner are posted on the chalkboard each day. You are invited to linger over this multi-course experience served in the dining room at 7:30pm each night. Local wines can be purchased by the glass or bottle to compliment your meal.
The price of both meals is included in the retreat. Because guests are often out exploring through the day, lunch is not included. However, picnics, lunches and snacks can be arranged for an additional charge.
Please let us know if you have any specific dietary needs as Casanuova are happy to accommodate them.
Yoga: Our morning yoga session will be held before breakfast from 7:00-8:30 am. A second gentle session to ease the wear of walking through hillside villages will be on offer from 5:00- 6:15pm.
After dinner, optional evening activities such as dance and guided meditation will be available and depend on participant preference.
With a strong focus on individual needs, the classes are designed to be restorative, supporting wellness, strength, balance, flexibility and alignment. They are designed to alleviate pain and are appropriate for any level of experience.
