What your Tuscany retreat will look like…
Take what you need from this week’s schedule. This is all about you and your needs. Rest, relax and reset. No judgement if you prefer to sleep in, instead of joining a yoga class. Take what you need!
The meals will be mostly organic and home-cooked to nourish you deeply. Lunches are not included. Monte San Savino is a 20 minutes walk away, and offers a small grocery store and several restaurants. We promise you won’t go hungry.
The Tuscany Retreat is the perfect change to reset and renew. Join mindful meditations, enjoy lazy days by the pool or join excursions to discover the area. This is your change to indulge life and form life-lasting friendships.
We encourage you to embrace the slower pace of life by disconnecting from your phone and to-do list. Life happens all around you.
When you’re ready for some extra splurging, join the pre-retreat in Rome. Spend 2-4 nights together and get to know each other while exploring the city. It gives you the opportunity to travel as a group instead of traveling solo.
Whatever you decide, I’m happy to help you with your bookings as a certified travel agent.
Arrival and welcome day:
A glass of wine is waiting for you when you arrive, after which you’ll have time to settle into your room and freshen up. Maybe have a dip into the pool!
Depending on the time of your flight arrival (hopefully in the morning) you will enjoy a yin class in the early evening followed by a welcome feast.
Please note there might be small changes to the itinerary due to on-site logistics.

Your Tuscany Retreat hostess
Your hostess for this beautiful retreat is Sabijn Linssen, founder of Retreat Here. San was born in the southern-most part of The Netherlands and has lived all over the world, ending up in Australia. If I would describe Sabijn, she’s laid-back, easy going and down to earth.
Many of her previous guests have stayed in touch over the years and keep coming back to the retreats, which shows the deep connection you’ll find at one of the retreats.
Join this beautiful community of openminded and welcoming women, who love good food wine, traveling and of course yoga, pilates and meditation.
Types of yoga & pilates classes:
Yoga is for every body and available for all levels of fitness. We do recommend joining a few classes prior to your retreat, but you don’t have to be a yoga-pro who does handstands for breakfast.
Sabijn will give adjustments to grow in your practice and challenge yourself!
Expect flowing pilates classes, followed by soothing stretches. Strengthen your body and grow your confidence, which will help you in your yoga practice but also in life.
The yoga classes are vinyasa based and expect to flow trough sequence that are creatively put together while likening your breath with each movement. In the evening we’ll slow down and practice yin yoga or yoga nidra.
The Location
The Tuscany retreat is located near the charming village of Monte San Savino, in the province Arezzo, Tuscany. Have a sneak peak at Maraviglia.
With an infinity pool, outdoor yoga deck, yoga props, organic garden, clamping site and 5 bedrooms, this is the perfect destination for a relaxing week filled with yoga, wine and fresh food.
“Quick to respond, very knowledgeable and did a great job of pointing us in the right travel direction - no pun intended. We stayed at some amazing laid-back luxury places, and we couldn't have wished for a better holiday. It was so nice having a personal travel advisor, and the fact that Jo is truly passionate about only working with eco-conscious hotels and other suppliers is a bonus!”
Covid has curbed all our adventures and especially for myself as an Australian living overseas. What an amazing trip Jo has helped me and my partner plan to Thailand, my childhood stomping area and then Australia my birth place and home of my large extended family and then onto Indonesia. It was just what we needed and it was wonderful to have someone able to help us with all the intricacies of planning and overseas trip after Covid and knowing someone was there to help you if things were difficult or unclear. We were able to contact her at all times during our trip. I highly recommend Jo for all your future adventures!"
Jo organised four accommodation locations for me across Greece and Italy. I’m in Australia and was struggling to find what I was looking for. After a WhatsApp call, a few messages and in just one week she found the perfect places. I’m so excited for my sustainable farm stay and eco hotels over three weeks in August. Jo understood me really quickly, and it’s great to have a Europe based contact. I’ll be sure to use her services again.”
About Sab & Jo
Sab (founder Retreat Here) and Jo (founder Barefoot Luxury Travellers) go back nearly 20 years. They met in the South of France both working at the AMEX business travel office. Both share a healthy lust for life, adventures, travel, fine dining, nature and of course a good glass of wine.
Both are convinced that life is all about balance, yoga & wine, yes you can! Sab ended up in Australia and Jo is still living in the South of France, both running businesses they are passionate and knowledgeable about.
Over time (and wine) the idea was born that yoga, wine and sustainable luxury would make a great combination and their collaboration was a fact.
This obvious synergy between the two brands led to a succesful and permanent collaboration between Retreat Here and Barefoot Luxury Travellers.
