Ayurvedic Wellness Retreats in Italy

Discover your Ayurvedic constitution and learn how to obtain optimum health and happiness in beautiful Tuscany.

Our retreats in Italy are held at La Pianore, a beautiful country estate in Maremma Toscana near Grosseto. The peaceful and relaxed atmosphere of the Maremma Toscana makes the agriturismo Le Pianore the perfect place to relax, rejuvenate and re-discover health and happiness. The Agritourism Le Pianore is not far from the old medieval village of Monticello Amiata which rises between hills and trees, the silence of the chestnut groves, wild paths and the Tirreno sea.

Ayurveda is traditionally taught in places of natural beauty and serenity in order to calm the mind and senses as well as to rest the body. This beautiful estate in Tuscany certainly provides this peace for all our guests. The magnificence of the landscape and the harmony between man and nature which is a very important aspect of Ayurveda are all characteristics of the Maremma Toscana. The atmosphere is unique and is the ideal place to escape the frenetic rhythm of modern life.

A typical day at Le Pianore includes the following:

7.00	Group yoga
8.30 – 9.30 am	Breakfast
