TI AMO TUSCANY

A yoga and chanting retreat in bella Lucca

September 15-19, 2025

You are invited on an immersive yoga journey to the enchanting city of Lucca — an ancient Tuscan gem where history, culture and serenity intertwine like the vines of a sun-kissed vineyard.

The Estate

Nestled between the majestic Apuan Alps and the rolling Pisan Mountains, our retreat is a celebration of Tuscany in its purest form. Awaken your senses with daily yoga, harmonium chanting, and hypnotic soundscapes, all while indulging in the rich traditions, vibrant flavors, and effortless beauty that make Italy one of the most passionate places in the world.

Just a short ten-minute drive from Lucca lies the breathtaking Orfea Estate, a 15th-century villa where time slows down and luxury meets tranquility.

Lovingly restored to blend old-world charm with modern elegance, this serene haven offers:

  • Manicured Italian gardens with a storybook pergola

  • A saltwater pool for blissful dips under the Tuscan sun

  • Hidden al fresco nooks and quintessential sitting areas perfect for journaling, meditation or quiet connection

  • A state-of-the-art wellness facility with a Turkish bath, sauna, emotional shower, salt room and meditation sanctuary, available at select times

Between yoga sessions, explore at your own pace—stroll through the cobblestone streets of Lucca, marvel at its Versailles-inspired gardens, or simply embrace la dolce far niente…the sweetness of doing nothing.

Getting There

It is recommended to fly into Pisa (closest) or Florence (second closest) airport. From there, you have several options:

  • Rent a car and drive like an Italian! Given our more rural location, this is the most recommended option.

  • Take the train to Lucca (both Pisa and Florence airports offer direct service) and utilize a local taxi service. There is a taxi stand outside of the train station or you can use the AppTaxi app to book a ride to the estate. Expect 40-50 Euros for taxi service.

  • Hire a driver from Pisa, Florence or the Lucca train station.

Andiamo!
