A farm to table three courses dinner will be served every night 8 - 10 pm.

We offer meat, vegetarian, and vegan menu options.

On advanced request, we offer a gluten free and lactose intolerant menu.

Allergies and intolerances

Please let us know of any allergies a month before the retreat so we can plan accordingly with the

staff in a timely manner. If guests book directly with us we will ask their food choice and allergies/

intolerances.

We will let you see the menu in advance so that you may suggest us if it is good for your group's

needs and in case we will adjust it with anything you think is important for them.

Lunches

Two light lunches are included in the package in two of the town tours. Over time, we discovered

lunch is not needed in the schedule. Our guests never go hungry with filling breakfasts, dinners, and

eating lunches on the city tours. Guests may also buy food at the supermarket and cook in their

apartment if they would like.

If you would like to add lunches to the schedule please let us know and we will send a quote.

Dinner at local restaurant

If your group would like, you may have the last dinner of the retreat at one of our delicious local

restaurants. This option will be an extra cost, the price depends on the number of guests. This

option has to be requested one month from the arrival.

different with their own authentic Italian style and outside a garden area.

In the package, there are 3 town tours included. One tour is alway in a nearby town around 20

minutes from us. The other two towns are around 45 minutes away from us. Tuscan and Umbrian

On the town tours which are farther away from the venue, there are light lunches scheduled. One

lunch is a wine tasting with food and the other is a light lunch in a surprise location. On the tour

close to the venue, we will visit our olive oil mill and have an olive oil tasting.  Our experiences always feature local farmers and their food products.
