The Details

Where: Umbria, Italy

Dates: October 19-26, 2024

Accommodations: Locanda del Gallo

This luxury, boutique hotel accommodation is immersed in nature. Enjoy the green hills, gardens, the silence, extreme relaxation in the wellness centre with salt water swimming pool, jacuzzi spa and massage facilities. Let chef spoil you with healthy and organic cuisine.

Stroll at leisure through the olive grove, inhale the scent of roses and herbs, or simply curl up with a book under the shade of the old elm tree. The gardens hold many hidden gems and secret corners for you to discover. In one, an ecological chlorine-free swimming pool, encircled by comfortable sun loungers and close by the sybaritic delight of an outdoor Jacuzzi whirlpool spa.

Or descend a few steps and enter the small Moorish style spa, let your tensions slip away in the Turkish bath and then immerse yourself in a cloud of cool, refreshing, mint scented water, before heading for the peace of the salon overlooking the verdant landscape to sip a tisane, or read a book, or revive yourself under the hands of our masseuse.

  • Only a passport is required. No visa application is required to travel to Italy. You will simply receive a “tourist visa” at customs when getting your passport stamped upon entering the EU.

And to do something that pushes you past your comfort zone, if it will encourage healthy and safe growth!

    That said, every piece of participation is fully your choice!

  • Awesome! The prices of the packages - including for the double occupancy room options - are per person.
