Wake up to rolling hills, relax by the infinity pool, discover nearby mideival towns and casles, and unwind under a star - filled sky.
The Property: Main farmhouse has 4 bedrooms, plus a separate Casina cottage, and a beautiful glamping site, all on 8 acres of olive groves and open fields.
Highlights:
• Home-cooked meals with local ingredients
• Infinity pool overlooking the Tuscan valley
• Open air Yoga platform
• Nearby hot springs, local markets, castles, and more
This will be our 3rd annual year returning, and I cannot wait to share this experience with you !
Monte San Savino
a small charming town in the heart of Tuscany
Maraviglia is located near the charming village of Monte San Savino in the province of Arezzo, one of Tuscany’s earliest urban settlements with deep
medieval roots.
Wander stone-paved streets lined with ancient churches and 16th-century cisterns. Explore locally owned shops, cozy cafés, and traditional trattorias, all set against a backdrop of rolling vineyards and olive groves.
A scenic 25-minute walk from the villa brings you into town, where we’ll visit the vibrant Wednesday morning market, hike to nearby ruins and castles, and soak in the rich history and beauty of the region.
Yoga & Mindful Movement
This is a Paragraph. Click on "Edit Text" or double click on the text box to start editing the content and make sure to add any relevant details or information that you want to share with your visitors.
Daily practices will take place in the beautiful open-air shala, looking out to the Tuscan farmland. Fully equipped with Yoga mats and a wide selection of props, the space offers everything needed to support and deepen your practice. The retreat includes a diverse class schedule, with 1-2 sessions a day.
Mornings will focus on energizing Vinyasa flows and strengthbased Mindful Movement or Pilates. Expect to build heat through repetition, explore inversions and arm balances, and connect to your breath through guided Pranayama techniques.
Afternoon and evening sessions will offer a softer landing—featuring gentle Hatha, Yin, and Restorative Yoga, along with guided meditation, and Yoga Nidra practices.
Every class is thoughtfully woven into the retreat’s overarching theme, inviting inspiration, introspection, and inner clarity. This retreat is open to all levels—whether you're just beginning your journey or looking to expand and deepen your practice.
Food
One of the top highlights of staying at Maraviglia is for sure the incredibly delicious food! Everything is seasonal, fresh, and sourced from nearby producers, offering a true farm-to-table experience. Meals are vegetarian, home-cooked, and designed to feel both nourishing and satisfying.
Each day includes a generous brunch with fresh cakes, cheeses, fruit, yogurt, salads, fresh espresso, and more. In the afternoon, a light merenda snack is served to keep you fueled. And, dinner is a beautiful three-course experience—starting with dishes like risotto or soup, followed by fresh salads, vegetables, and legumes, and ending with something sweet like tiramisu or biscotti.
Everything is finished with their signature extra virgin olive oil, made on-site, along with house-fermented miso and shoyu. We’ll also enjoy an Olive Oil Experience, where you’ll taste and learn what makes it so special.

Meet Your Host
- Madison -
I've been teaching Yoga for over 10 years and leading retreats for the past 7. Before fully stepping into this path, I worked as a television producer— an experience that honed my skills in curating seamless, intentional experiences. Today, I bring that same storytelling instinct into the heart of every retreat I lead, weaving together movement, philosophy, mindfulness, and meaningful connection.
What sets my retreats apart is the balance I intentionally create: they are as much about rest, exploration, and travel as they are about deepening your Yoga practice. Each retreat is anchored by a thoughtfully chosen theme—one that invites personal growth, reflection, and a deeper connection to self. These themes guide our time together, from the mat to mealtime to evening games to moments of stillness.
Born and raised in Toronto, I continue to teach Yoga, Pilates, and other mindful movement modalities with a focus on linking breath, body, and mind. My classes blend creative sequencing, curated playlists, and playful energy with hands-on support, modifications, and space to honor your individual journey.
To me, Yoga is a way to calm the mind, regulate the nervous system, and return to the present moment. My hope is that what we practice on retreat becomes something you carry home: a sense of clarity, strength, and connection that supports you in your everyday life.

GETTING TO THE RETREAT CENTER:
The Closest Airport = Florence (FLR) – Second closest = Rome (FCO)
Optional ways to get to Maraviglia:
• Train: Traveling by train is one of the easiest, most affordable, and most scenic ways to reach the retreat. From Florence or Rome, take a Trenitalia train to the beautiful city of Arezzo (approximately 2–3.5 hours by train, depending on your departure point and train selection).
NOTE: Arezzo is well worth exploring and makes a wonderful place to spend a night or two before or after the retreat if you'd like to extend your Italian holiday.
From Arezzo, you'll take a charming 40-minute local train through the countryside to Monte San Savino. Our hosts will meet you at the station and provide a short 5-minute transfer to the farm.
• Self Drive: you could choose to rent a vehicle and have it during the retreat to explore the countryside. Driving distance from Maraviglia to nearby towns is: Arezzo (25 min) Siena (30 min) Perugia and Florence (50 minutes) Pisa and Rome (2-3 hours depending on traffic)
• Hired Driver: alternatively, we can help arrange a shuttle from Rome or Florence (or other nearby towns) at an additional cost.
