"Just magical ✨️"
Wow, I was so relaxed here, I felt like I was floating & still do a week later.
What an absolutely stunning place, it reminded me of First Dates Abroad! Beautiful buildings, views, people & animals.
The accommodation was perfect, we woke to the sunrise every morning. Very clean, good space & everything we needed (3 sharing a room).
The two daily yoga sessions were incredible, what a view from the deck with music from the birds, it was perfect.
Stephanie, the yoga instructor, was so calming, very kind, easy to talk to, accommodating to all our needs & guided us through some lovely flows. She was very clear & helped us to get into positions correctly.
The hikes with Olaf were interesting & fun, he has a great character & good energy. His massage & reiki were super.
Alex instructed the hiit, we loved it! Such high energy, out in the sunshine, pushing ourselves to the max. We really felt it afterwards, which is always a bonus!
I didn't realise there would be so many horses with lessons & rides available. I went for one ride & really enjoyed it, very knowledgeable & a beautiful horse.
Wine tasting & olive oil tasting great trips & very interesting.
The food was sooooo good & we felt very looked after by the restaurant staff, with a gorgeous view of the valley.
Overall, it was an amazing experience & I would highly recommend it to everyone. Thankyou ⭐️

Location is stunningly beautiful. Instructors were extremely friendly, welcoming and competent (Elske - yoga and fitness, Erin and Annette - yoga, Olaf - massage). Food was amazing.

Heerlijk was het om een paar dagen volledig verzorgd en omringd door het Toscaanse landschap door te brengen. Samen met dochterlief hebben we deelgenomen aan alle activiteiten en vooral de yoga-sessies vonden we fijn, een nieuwe ervaring die ik in NL voort ga zetten. Ik hoop zeker een keer terug te kunnen komen. Groetjes Jessica

"Varied workouts, remote and scenic location, great people"
This is a very high quality fitness retreat with the right amount of active yoga, hiking, riding, stretching, pool-time and down-time. I appreciated the Iyengar alignment class, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin and HIIT training. I also loved the grounds, the people and the rustic cool atmosphere that made this the perfect solo holiday. I highly recommend it and feel I will keep returning here for the yoga and riding especially. Thank you to everyone at Tuscan Fitness and La Forra.

The accommodation and its location is superb and feels very peaceful.
The food was delicious and the service always attentive.
The yoga/fitness instructors were kind, knowledgeable and responsive to the needs of the participants.
I really liked the range of activities on offer from yoga, HIIT, hiking, horse back riding plus the wine and olive oil tasting with local makers.
The ability to pick and choose your days rather than having a set intake day is great. However, its means there's a coming and going of people day-to-day, which has pro's and con's.

Location is second to none, beautiful Valley, beautiful people, beautiful facilities and accommodations. and everyone there is genuinely kind. All the activities from Yoga practice to hiking, to wine and olive tasting are all nicely planned out. And there are always extra activities you can add on, which the retreat manager is always happy to arrange for you (Patrizia is simply amazing, she can make anything happen, I signed up for the cooking class last min, but she made it happen, and it was amazing experience); and not to mention the best massages ever ( thank you Elske , thank you Olaf, thank you Megan and Kim and Dave you all are amazing human beings, thank you for sharing your love of Yoga and its craftmanship, adnd your incredible energies) .

Excellent mix of yoga, fitness, hiking and tasting. You can pick and choose and create the holiday fit for you. Surroundings are magnificent - typically Toscany. Food is excellent, delicious Italien. As people come and go depending on the days they have booked - it creates the opportunity for meeting many from all over the world - truly international. I can recommend the message both by Elske and Oluf.

"Just what I needed "
The pictures don’t do the scenery and surroundings justice. You feel grounded immediately upon arriving. As soon as I arrived I took my first yoga class and met people at social hour and dinner from several other countries. Very cool to make these connections with so many great people throughout my week. I enjoyed the healthy and locally made food and couldn’t help but have daily bread dipped in their olive oil from their own olive groves , the hills/ countryside views, and outdoor yoga was amazing, the horses hanging beside us during one of the morning classes was surreal! As you can indulge as well when you are there (you can also have wine with dinners and have dessert), I’m sure I burned it all off with the daily hikes and classes as there wasn’t much I didn’t participate in (although note, not mandatory). We all looked forward to choosing our meals daily as we all enjoyed what we ate. It’s a very chill environment and it is quiet on the grounds after dinner which I appreciated. Staff were great, and thank Megan and Elske for improving my yoga practice and Dave for all his knowledge shared on his guided hikes. Patricia at reception no questions asked helped me to rearrange my trains when my flight schedule changed - she was a gem. All in all, very enjoyable!

Location is stunning - peaceful, incredible views and lots of room. Lovely pool, a gym and many walks in immediate vicinity. Yoga was fantastic, not too intense but still suitable for all levels. Walks are great, the countryside is lovely. Other people there were super-friendly and the wine and olive oil tasting really helped to gel the group. But you can do as much or as little as you like. I felt so refreshed after 5 days there, thanks to all the team.

The location alone is just fantastic and makes you relax right away.
The whole atmosphere and group sentiment is really nice and familiar.
Yoga Sessions were of very good intensity, the teachers were always giving options for different levels and including the group.
The activities were great and informative, also supporting local producers. The hikes (1,5-2hrs) were easy to do without any outdoor experience and also very informative.
The menu was very balanced out to have healthy food but also indulge with vegan and vegetarian options.

The location was beautiful, cozy rooms with a pool and yoga area overlooking Tuscany was perfection. The yoga/hike/fitness instructors were very welcoming, sweet, helpful and so knowledgeable. And great mix of all activities and outings! It brought me to a real place of zen and inner peace. The food was incredible as well and the staff! I had such a great group when I went for the week. Would definitely do another retreat with Tuscan fitness and a week was just what I needed! Perfectly organized with the best yoga instructors (Annette, Elska, Lucy) to learn and practice from! Also Elska does fitness and she’s a warrior! Loved it all! Also, the massage with Olaf was phenomenal!

"Had a wonderful, fun and action packed time!"
Couple of bits of info - I spent 7 days here and I travelled alone - I travelled by train from Florence to Montevarchi to take advantage of the daily shuttle - this was super easy and the time spent here was perfect for me.
I loved the variety of yoga, fitness, hiking to wine and olive oil tasting and pool time. I didn’t expect to have the energy to cover it all off, but I did and I loved it! My yoga has definitely improved, I now enjoy a circuit class and the hikes were brilliant for getting you out into nature. I also took advantage of the massage options choosing energising and Thai to help the aching muscles!
The flexibility of when you can attend, makes booking really flexible and helpful, and you meet a really broad range of people from all over the world, all on slightly different schedules.
Everyone I met running the hotel and programme were really lovely - I mostly spent time with the teachers - Kim, Laurie, Elske who were fantastic. They made you feel welcome, looked out for you and were great fun! They will also push you outside your comfort zone - but you’ll leave feeling better for it !
I have visited retreats before where it was a fixed group and time with fairly strict food and drink - Tuscan fitness was more relaxed than that, with different schedules and coffee and wine available etc - I love both types of retreat, and this style and set up was perfect for my needs at this time. I would definitely return and would highly recommend !!

The setting is magnificent, high up in the Tuscan hills. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and relaxed. I loved the before breakfast yoga session and the more relaxed session at the end of the day. There was lots to do -but no pressure. I took part in the daily hikes, wine and olive oil tastings, but not the HIIT fitness sessions (bad knees). Our accommodation was spacious, which we particularly appreciated after tiny hotel rooms in Rome and Florence. I was there with my daughter and the experience was great for both of us, at very different stages of life.

"Simply paradise"
Tuscan Fitness truly exceeded every expectation. You are taken care of from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. It was as if all the staff couldn’t do enough for us - they were so accommodating! The agriturismo (La Forra) where it is held is one of the best and most beautiful I have ever seen, and I live in Italy, so I’ve seen quite a few of them. There really isn’t a single spot on the entire property that doesn’t have a breathtaking view. The rooms are gorgeous and newly (and very tastefully) renovated. The food is to die for! Two extremely abundant courses of healthy, delicious food, served on a covered terrace with a gentle breeze and (again) a view to die for. I should mention that the menu you choose from is extremely varied- you can go vegan but you can also enjoy traditional Tuscan dishes, which tend to be more meaty. There were around 6-7 starters to choose from, another 6-7 pastas, 8-9 entrees with different types of meat, and 7-8 vegan selections. There are two pools - a huge one (again with a stunning view) that sometimes has a lot of children, and a quiet one just for adults. There are tons of activities every day - two yoga sessions, a fitness (usually HIIT) session, and daily hikes. Rachel is an amazing instructor- so enthusiastic and funny - though your glutes will feel it later! Really, I can’t say enough good things about this place!!

Such a wonderful time here. The location is stunning, the accommodation is fantastic, the food was fabulous and in plentiful supply. The yoga of course was lovely, situated on a deck in the Chianti hills, we had 3 different instructors during my time and they were all great, patient, uplifting.
I went solo, but was quickly introduced to everyone on the retreat and everyone was warm and friendly, many others were solo too. The hikes were short but engaging, to olive oil farms and wineries. The fitness is optional (as is everything), but although I'm terribly unfit, it did push me but the instructors didn't mind if you took some time out to catch your breath.
I would really recommend it here. It may be a bit pricier than other places I've gone, but that's because the quality of the accommodation and food is so high, and go on, treat yourself!

The pool!
Award winning Olive Oil farm down the road, wine tasting in different vineyards close by. Great Italian wine available in the Restaurant every night. Prada head office, factory and outlet shop 25 minutes away!

"Amazing experience in the heart of Tuscany "
My best friend and I attended the retreat, mainly because we wanted to stay in Tuscany and yoga sounded nice. The experience, however, exceeded all our expectations: first, the location was marvelous, we were astonished by the room view, the olive trees, the yoga deck on the top of the hill, the sounds of the birds, and the amazing pool; the services were equally amazing, Patrizia and her friendly staff showed flexibility for almost everyone of our "special" needs; the food was great as well. Second, Alix managed to put together a special fitness and yoga routine, balancing tough workouts and relaxing yoga & meditations sessions with Simone or Deborah. The music, the hikes, the walks, the dinners, the wine tasting - all enriched our experience on the top of the Tuscan hills. Last but not least, the people whom we met there truly enhanced our journey, the memories created there and the laughs we had will stay with us for a long time. We are definitely planning to come back! Cris & Diana

Elske war einfach herausragend! Ich habe noch keinen einzelnen Yogalehrer kennengelernt, der es versteht, die Anweisungen so genau zu formulieren, dass ich ihnen mit geschlossenen Augen folgen kann. Sie hatte immer den Überblick, ging auf jeden Einzelnen ein, bot immer Optionen an, wenn einzelne Übungen wegen individueller Einschränkungen nicht umzusetzen waren. Das Gleiche auch beim HIIT Training. Und was die gesamte Organisation oder auch einzelne Wünsche anging, war sie einfach eine absolut "caring person". Und das "La Ferra" ist einfach traumhaft schön, ein toller Rückzugsort!

However, it is all your choice what you join and what you don’t. We did not have much experience in yoga yet, but the classes were good to follow. The instructors were very nice and open to suggestions. The food was very nice.

The yoga retrait of Tuscany Fitness is so wonderful. I loved the yoga classes with Elske and Robin, the hikes, the food, the very warm waiters Alessandro and Andrea, everything. The location is magical, surrounded by Tuscany hills, a beautiful view and a nice pool, perfect to cool down. The whole stay felt like a ‘warm bath’, with so much love and nice people around you.

The view is stunning, with beautiful hills all around. Hiking each day in the fresh air was amazing. The yoga classes were very good and I really enjoyed the HIIT classes outside on the decking. If you’re looking for a mix of yoga with other activities, this is the perfect retreat for you!

Everything!
-Fresh and delicious restaurant breakfast, lunch, and dinner shared with the other participants.
-Instructors who know your name and care about your experience.
-The program of approx 4 hours worth of yoga/fitness classes/hiking/cultural activities spread throughout the day. There’s lots of relaxation time in between, and you get the flexibility to participate in as much or as little as you like.
-Gorgeous scenery everywhere you look with comfy chairs/hammocks/etc to enjoy it from.
-Cozy, clean, and quiet private room that feels like a bed and breakfast.

This was the most relaxing, enjoyable and rejuvenating break I have ever taken! Staff are very professional, talented, work as a team, it is very clear that the goal of all of the staff is the relaxation, care and enjoyment of their guests.
The yoga classes were amazing and suit all level of yogis. Kielley was an excellent yoga instructor and an absolute delight to hang out with! Kelly’s restorative was great, and I even really enjoyed Milo’s (Mino?) more advanced style.
Really enjoyed the food ,it was fresh and amazing. Thank you Patrizio and Stephano!
I also enjoyed sharing meals and experiences with other people who were attending the retreat, I was there with my daughter and friend, but we all still met lots of other wonderful like minded travellers.
David led wonderful hikes, and had a great sense of humor and lots of knowledge to share. Patrizia ,who greeted us, was basically a superwoman! Organizing so many things, and just making things happen, with ease and always a smile!

I liked the variety of yoga and fitness teachers, so you can experience different styles, from slow flow to intensive workout. The day was very nicely scheduled, I liked that sometimes you can choose the hike instead of the class and see the surrounding area. And the food was so so good every time! Perfect holiday in Italy

"wonderful escape from home to another home"
every thing was amazing on this journey. It was my first experiance to be on a retreat and I was alone but never felt alone. starting from the communication with organizers before the joining, to the friendly staff and amazing instructors. the view from the top of the mountain where the hotel is located can not get any prettier. there was a full day program not to much and not too little where you can be active and still have your own time to chill and the best part is the flexibility so that you can join as much or as little as i you want. there main goal that their guests feel relaxed energized and simply do what they like. food was tasty as well. every day three meals prepared by two wonderful chefs served with friendly waiters. we the guests of the retreat and the instructors sat like a family on 1 table during the meals every day which i did not expect but loved the idea very much. by the end of this trip not only was satisfied and energized and also relaxed, but the chance to make new friends from different nations . to sum up. i wen to a new place but it felt like home

"Wish I had booked for longer!"
The location - you’re up in the hills/mountains and the views are stunning; the different activities on offer (I did hiit, hiking, swimming, running, horse riding, lots of yoga, wine tasting); the food - there was so much and the local olive oil was beautiful; the instructors - who are all very different in their style so you learnt new things from all of them; the owners who are so knowledgable of the area, always willing to help and so friendly and welcoming; the staff; the other guests who I will definitely keep in touch with; each room has their own space by the pool so you don’t have to rush to get an area each day. This retreat is much more about balance - good food, healthy activities that are about enjoyment for the body and mind rather than about punishing yourself, some alcohol, lots of local homemade food (and carbs!), and great company. This is a much healthier outlook on life than some detox/juicing retreats.

"So relaxed and satisfied - truly beautiful and amazing"
I found this place just amazing. The team from Tuscan Fitness was so dedicated to ensure me and everyone else a truly amazing and relaxing experience.The yoga teachers (Kylie, Kaylie, Simone) were all so dedicated and gave me beautiful yoga-experiences, and the shala (yoga deck) had the most fabulous breathtaking view. It often went very emotional in a very pleasant way, to me especially in Kylie's classes, which I found so gifting.
David, who hosts the hikes and the wine tastings, is such a nice person, and he knows really a lot about the area, the wine, the fauna and buildings in the area, which is really inspirational, and makes the hikes not just walking, but educational as well.
Patrizia, who is the receptionist at the hotel, is so dedicated and so kind. She acts as if she was born to do her job.
My room was spacy with a very grid big bed, spacious bathroom, clean and with a beautiful view. Nearly all rooms come with a personal terrace and all rooms have a personal "shelter" with sun beds in the pool area. There is even two pools, one dedicated to relaxation and quietness, which sadly was not respected by all guests, but it is very positive and thoughtful that it is there! The restaurant has an overwhelmingly beautiful view as well.
I met Alix one day, as she was otherwise having holidays with her family, but she was a very kind person too, and even more dedicated into making sure that we all enjoyed our stay.
And I need to mention the view once again!

"I highly recommend Tuscan Fitness!"
I loved the gorgeous setting, super-friendly company--staff and fellow guests--and the focus on being active, including hikes and yoga classes. The food was great, particularly since I had been traveling in Italy for awhile and really enjoyed some lighter food that was a bit of a break from heavier cuisine (like pizza). I also liked how you could opt in or opt out of class sessions and various activities. The olive oil tasting and wine tasting venues were a pleasant surprise, and it was nice to see some local artisans and their products.

Such a relaxing and welcoming retreat. A very accommodating place with the friendliest people, whether you're experienced with yoga/HIIT/barre/hiking there was no pressure to feel like you have to be perfect at everything. The routine throughout the day was perfect for me as there was always something to do! When I was there there were so many extra opportunities to do wine tasting, olive oil tasting and an amazing group meal out. Great place to go on your own as there was never a time where I felt lonely as the people on the retreat were all so lovely. Will definitely be coming here again next year, hopefully seeing Alix, Dave, Pam and Kylie still being amazing people and instructors!

The retreat was the most amazing little getaway in the Tuscan hillside. It exceeded my expectations completely and left feeling rejuvenated. I loved that you can choose what activities you’d like to participate in each day and there was no judgement if you just wanted time by the pool relaxing. The walks are a lovely way to see local areas with a bonus of incredible views around every corner.
Every staff member were so helpful and attentive and welcoming.
The property itself is absolutely stunning and my room was perfect. Photos don’t do this retreat justice and I couldn’t recommend this highly enough.

This is the full package for people want to relax, enjoy and also do healthy activities. The setting is stunning and comfortable. The people who run it are caring and very invested in you getting what you need/want from your time at the retreat. They understand that this can be different for each person. The food was delicious and fresh and the activities were fun, with no pressure to participate if you didn't feel like it. I went alone at the end of 3 intense week of travelling in Europe. I wanted some down time without feeling lonely and this was the perfect place. Even though I had an unfortunate fall while horse riding and injured myself on my last day, I still thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will definitely come back again with friends and family.

The exercise classes were taught by experienced instructors. I was particularly impressed by the quality and variety of the Yoga classes which were held outdoors with great views of the Tuscan country side. The thought of hearing church bells in savasana in the morning Yoga makes me want to go back.

"Yoga & fitness retreat: a great new experience "
I really loved the fact that this retreat is a combination of both yoga and healthy other sports activities such as hiking, HIIT sessions, barre sessions. As an extra you can even add horse riding and tennis to your schedule. Therefore it was a whole new experience for me, I only did ‘full yoga’ retreats before. For me this was just exactly right. I thought it was nice that the yoga sessions were ‘only’ 1 hour each (twice a day) with all the other optional sports activities on the schedule. The extra activities such as wine tasting, cocktail tasting, visiting a nearby little olive oil farm: loved it. My little apartment was great, it came with a mobile AC. All very clean and well kept. Nice little shady spots with loungers at the pool, enough for everyone. Great staff from Tuscan Fitness, always someone around to help you and super friendly.

Thank you for this beautiful vacation. The location is extraordinary, the food is delicious. The Yoga classes were wonderful, all the teachers adjusted every class for all the different levels of exercise the guests brought, they adjusted for injuries and gave the opportunity to go deeper for the people who want to. It was also a pleasure to experience various types of Yoga. I think everybody who attends the classes can learn something new. If you are really into a pure Yoga retreat, the classes might be too short, but you can read about the day structure before hand. So the vacation is not only a Yoga Retreat, but rather a combination of Yoga and (as the title inclines) Fitness. But also the other activities like the wine tasting or different hikes were wonderful. All the guests take their meals together (unless they don't want to), also sometimes the teachers would eat together with the guests. It really created a warm family vibe. Other comments I read, stated that the food was good but without a lot of change. I cannot agree, everyday had a different special food, and if you don't like either of the two options, you can always get Pasta. If you are looking for more than two hours of Yoga per day, or if you want to practice also some of the other limbs, such as Pranayama, there is always the possibility to practice during the day on your own on the beautiful Yoga deck, or ask for the possibily to incorporate the practice. Namaste

The people, the location, the classes, the food - it was all excellent!
From the moment my delayed flight landed, Alex & her team went out of their way to ensure my holiday was the best possible.Despite the late hour on a Sunday evening, they helped me decide how I could complete my journey and were there to greet me when I arrived.
Tuscan Fitness is based in a beautiful Agriturissimo hotel with stunning views over the countryside. The yoga classes were all excellent and varied in style with a five teachers providing guidance and others leading HIT classes, beautiful hikes and a bonus wine tasting! The Anukalana yoga with Julie is worth a special mention as it was so different.
Our 3 meals a day were eaten as a group and the other guests who I was lucky to spend time with added to this excellent trip. The food included lots of salads, pasta was always a dinner option and vegetarians, vegans and gluten free diets were all catered for while I was there.
This was my first yoga holiday travelling on my own and it really couldn't have been better.

The combination of both make it just a dream place to have a nice escape!
We would like to say a very special thanks to Paolo for being an amazing host and great yoga instructor, David - great host and we won't forget our hiking experience, Patrizio - for amazing food and cocktails, Patrizia - great welcome in reception.

"Highly recommended!!"
I loved the Tuscan Fitness retreat from start to finish. It is very accessible as its a 40 min train ride direct from Florence and Luca was there to collect me on arrival at the station to take me to the retreat. The retreat is in the most stunning location at the top of the Tuscan hills and the views from the top are amazing!!
The retreat offers just the right amount of activity with Yoga every morning and evening and an offer of a hike or a fitness class most days in between. The variety of Yoga teachers means you get to experience lots of different Yoga styles also. I was recovering from an injury during my trip and all of the teachers were excellent at helping me with adjustments during classes to ensure I could participate safely.
All of the Yoga teachers and staff are extremely friendly and make you feel very welcome and part of the group during the stay.
The food offered on this retreat is next to none. It is all prepared fresh in the adjoining restaurant and even the local Italians were blown away by the quality of the food! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all fantastic with excellent choices for each meal of vegetarian or meat dishes as well as a choice of multiple pasta dishes!
My 4 day 3 night stay also included a wine tasting where the whole group was taken to a local vineyard for a Tuscan wine tasting. An excellent addition!
The classes are fantastic, the people amazing, the location stunning, the food delicious! Highly recommended!!

Everything about this experience, from the moment my daughter and I arrived, was professional and thoroughly relaxing. The shuttle from the station was so easy. The views from the hotel and particularly the yoga deck are breathtaking. I’ve done Pilates before but this was my first taste of yoga and both Paolo and Julie were excellent tutors. Yoga on the deck as the sun came up is something I wil never forget. All the staff Paolo, David, Julie and Patrica were so welcoming and really added to the experience. The food was fresh and delicious and I strongly recommend chef’s fresh mint tea to finish off your evening meal. We loved every minute, came back feeling relaxed and revived and we are very keen to return. Thank you

This was all against the backdrop of beautiful Tuscan scenery, so it took me about 15 minutes to relax and I will carry my newfound zen with me forever!
The food was amazing - so healthy and tasty and so much too! I never felt hungry.

Really loved this retreat! The location and views was amazing, and the yoga and other other activities really made it a perfect combo of healthy and relaxing! Hikes were really great to get to take in the amazing views and great for learning a bit about the region, and the wine-tasting at a local vineyard was lovely. Food is really amazing, but very healthy, and they are really good with vegetarian/vegan options.
All the staff (administrative, instructors, restaurant +++) were really lovely! The instructors might vary, but the ones that were there during my stay gave us a good yoga workout - just what you need before lots of great italian food.
You can choose the lenght of your stay (perfect for me, I stayed 5 days), and if you want to participate in all the classes or just relax by the pool or in a hammock (I participated in all except one). This is not an exclusive retreat-place, there are other guests staying in the same hotel, but I really felt that was nice. I travelled on my one, and everyone that was there the same time as me also did - all lovely people.
Definately recomended!

Everyone who worked at the retreat in whatever capacity. They could not have been better. Plus the 'little things' like giving me a toothbrush because I had forgotten mine and the snacks which were available all day. The other guests at the beginning of our stay were great fun and it was good to be on a shared table.

"Excellent "
Location really beautiful. The staff could not have been more accommodating or helpful. Every need was catered to and they organised everything from transfers to special food requests , efficiently and always with a smile. The location was stunning , and the yoga studio perched atop a hill which caught the breeze and also afforded breathtaking views was fabulous. Great horse riding treks, wine tasting and trips to local towns, with regular hikes and hit classes , all contributing to a great stay. Loved it!

Alix and Dave are such amazing hosts! The facilities, staff, menus, classes, and transportation were excellent! The other guests and yoga teachers were
lovely and engaging. The wine tasting excursion was delightful. I really enjoyed myself after a year of intense work. I was able to revitalize at my own pace. Thank you Tuscan Fitness :-)

They took care of all our needs and answered all our queries- we felt that we were part of the Tuscan fitness family. Food was divine- very healthy and BIG portions. Location of the resort was so panoramic and breathtaking. Great yoga/ BARRE/ HIIT sessions. Thanks David/ Alix/ Kylie and Paulo for making our yoga retreat super fun and memorable.
Hope to make it back there next year

"WONDERFUL STAY AT TUSCAN FITNESS"
The place where Tuscan Fitness is located is absolutely incredible. It overlooks the Montegonzi Village and the valleys all around. It is a very peaceful and charming place where you can relax and enjoy every moment of the day.
The swimming pool where you will allow you to swim while admiring the beautifulTuscan landscape all around. All the premises are very clean.
Room is big and you feel like if you are staying in a lovely Tuscan House with also all the facilities.
The food is really good and tasty with local products and healthy at the same time . I had the possibility to choose between 2 or 3 choices of meal sometimes, which is appreciable.
Most of all, ALL THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL and make you feel very comfortable and part of a family.
@ David : I enjoyed the hiking with you in the surroundings and all the sories of the local civilisation you told the group and your knowledge about the nature and plants.
@Paolo : Great Fitness teacher and yoga as well. So easy to communicate with you and you made my stay so easy. Thanks a loooooot :)
@Kylie : Great Yoga teacher. It was my 1st experience of yoga for me and thanks to the way you teach yoga in such a wonderful way and grace. i will continue :)
@Patrizio : MERCI for your kindness everyday and the way you try to please the group during breakfast/lunch and dinner. Always smiling and doing your best and taking care of us. I will not forget our "Marseillaise" song together for Winning World Cup :)

"Peggy and Waz review "
This retreat is a wonderful experience, run by wonderful hosts, who are highly skilled yoga instructors, as well as being warm, fun and passionate about the area. In addition to yoga, the circuit/hit/barre classes were excellent and the hikes were beautiful and well organised. The wine tasting was fun and informative and our hosts could not do enough to tailor our stay to our needs. Nothing was too much trouble. The surrounds are magic, and the only thing that matched them was the warmth of the hospitality.

The surroundings were breathtaking , it was a hugely relaxing experience with great food and a lovely pace to the day. The yoga was lovely in the morning , with exercise option later in the day , with the afternoon hikes being particularly enjoyable as you get to see some of the local area and learn about the region. Food was delicious and to a very high standard.

The place is a wonderful, beautiful oasis of peace and quiet up on the hillside. Spectacular views, also from the outside yoga deck. Yoga and HIIT training were good, so was the hike. The instructors do their best to make the experience a good one for everyone. Everyone was very friendly and kind, and it truely feels like they are happy to have everyone there.

This experience was even better than expected. The location is stunning with the most amazing views. There is a purpose built yoga studio and all the yoga sessions were of excellent quality. I didn't take the HIIT sessions preferring to swim in the lovely outdoor pool. The hiking was great and included wine tasting. The indoor and outdoor eating areas both enjoyed the views of the Tuscany countryside and meat free wheat free diet was very well catered for - they couldn't do enough. Alix even made special breakfasts which were delicious. A great holiday alround and will definitely return. Thanks Alix, Dave, Paulo and Kate for making this such a fabulous holiday and to Patrick and team in the kitchen for looking after us so well.

The team was amazing, making sure I had everything I needed. All I had to do was ask and they got it for me. I loved the fact that people could order more food if they were hungry or ask for half portions if you wanted to keep the meal size down. One night I was even able to order a pasta dish from the main restaurant menu in addition to the "Tuscan Fitness" menu. The food was super tasty.
The activities and instructors were great and so helpful when I needed a little direction. The new yoga deck overlooking the Tuscan hills is incredible.
Definitely going back!

Loved the two yoga instructors Alix and Calli are really good and caring and Paolo was always making sure we felt good. Rooms are good (although I found a cockroach in my room the first day) and the place is a dream. David accompanied us for the hiking and he is really knowledgeable and kind. Food was also good but I felt hungry most of the times ( but this is the purpose I suppose)

The whole experience was amazing - such a great mixture of yoga, hiking and cultural experiences. So unlike any other yoga retreat and in the most beautiful and remote locations. The instructors and hotel/restaurant staff were amazingly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure you had the greatest experience. Being gluten free, they catered to my diet wonderfully and the food was delicious. The yoga itself was brilliant - at the right level based on all members in the group and still managed to work on advancing some asanas I have been struggling with with the help of Alix and Paulo. The hiking was such a great way to learn more about the area with the incredibly knowledgeable David, so easy to have a good chat with and learn a lot at the same time. Overall, incredibly happy with the experience, would 100% recommend and return myself

Everyone at Tuscan Fitness was super nice and very welcoming! We loved our yoga & HIIT classes with Alex and Paolo and the hikes in the lovely tuscan hills with David. Our 4 day retreat was a great mix between workouts, meditation, relaxation and special experiences such as wine and olive oil tasting. The food was delicious and everything was freshly made. The location of La Forra is perfect with incredible views over the tuscan hills. My two friends and I had a great time and would love to come back.

This retreat is not
a boot camp or overly busy.
It’s peaceful, restorative and nurturing.
Yoga is interspersed with hikes and visits but nothing is compulsory.
Meals are nourishing without being obsessively healthy. You can have wine. You can make friends. You can resolve to lead a healthier life and mean it this time.

"A wonderful week "
As a solo traveler, this was my first retreat so I was not sure what to expect. The staff were welcoming and the property was beautiful. The group changed over the week as people come and go over their stay; there is a perfect balance of group activities and meals to get to know everyone, and alone time to relax and unwind. The schedule is spaced out to allow rest, and the wifi worked great for me to do some work as well. Lunch and dinner are incredible, large portions of delicious food, and a great variety.

"A perfect combination of relaxation, fitness and nature!"
What I loved about this retreat was the opportunity to try a variety of activities: yoga, intense cardio workouts, peaceful walks in nature, olive oil tasting and wine tasting. The food served at lunch and dinner was perfect in every way. It was healthy, a variety of choices were offered and beautifully presented by the chef. Alix prepared the most gorgeous and healthy treats! Gemma was incredibly welcoming and made my stay comfortable and relaxed. Her Yin classes were amazing. David and Alberto who led the hikes are very well informed of the area and very pleasant to chat with during a long hike. There was an overall relaxed ambience at this retreat, where everyone could choose whether or not they would like to participate in the activities offered, or to relax by the pool or in their room.

I loved the location with breathtaking views over the valley. All the staff were wonderful and so approachable - I really felt like part of the Tiscan Fitness Family. I loved being challenged with the HIIT and Barre.
It was just the relaxing holiday I needed and combined my favourite exercise of yoga and hiking. The hikes were super and David was a very knowledgable leader.
I enjoyed the different styles of all the instructors which was perfect when spend a full week.
The food was delicious and I loved Alix's baking! Amazing what you can do with black beans
Oh and Ricky was very special!

This was, to me such a wonderful experience. The whole team was amazing! I loved the yin yang yoga Gemma gave, because of the effect on my lower back. During the hiking trips with David, we could enjoy the most beautiful views, while catching our breaths ;). I liked the new experience of the barre class with Alex and offcourse all the lovely healthy snacks she made. The lunch and diners were healthy and delicious! In short.. For me, it was amazing!

Tuscan fitness made this trip a positively memorable experience during which I enjoyed and engaged in a healthy and active lifestyle in the lovely surrounding of La Forra Hotel.
From the beginning of the trip, all of the staff and instructors were so helpful and ensured that we arrived safely at the retreat location, providing a means of transport from the train station and again when we left on the last day.
The instructors were really great and each yoga, HIIT or barre class were all different and interesting. All classes catered for varying capabilities within the group also, which was much appreciated.
The additional activities such as hikes and tours of olive farms and vineyards added an interesting dimension to the trip and contributed to the cultural experience. Again, the efforts of the instructors with organising and providing the opportunity here was much appreciated.
The food was fantastic! As someone who wouldn't normally choose a vegetarian option, the variety of healthy dishes available every day has converted me. Every meal was new, delicious and creative. The meat and fish options were also delicious and healthy. The extra snack provided by Alix (protein balls, breads etc.) were also delicious and appreciated.

"It was exactly what I needed plus so much more"
I think it's an understatement to say that I fell in love with the place, the program, the team, the food and the people I met in this retreat. The place is beautiful beyond the description and photos advertised. Practicing yoga or a fitness class on top of a castle's tower with a panoramic view of the valley, surrounded by vineyards and olive farms, was an unbelievable experience.
The yoga and fitness classes and hikes cater all fitness levels. The trainers are very good in ensuring that we individually approach the exercises based on our levels. I've been practicing vinyasa and poweryoga for the past 4 years and I was very happy with all the yoga classes. I also do a lot of circuit trainings and for me, the circuit classes were excellent. The hikes are also amazing. The wine tasting and dinner out were a nice break and it was good bonding activity for us.
Everyone in the team are very nice and attentive to everyone's needs. They are passionate on what they do and they are genuinely kind people.
The food were really good. The vegetables and fruits they serve are fresh from their own farm. They are very attentive to guests' food restrictions or dietary needs.
Lastly, I guess I was lucky to be in a group of lovely people. The scenes from lunches and dinners where we were all in a long table, talking, laughing, passing on bowls of food or bottles of water... no one would have believed we all just met.

Also alix helped me immediately solving a problem I had the first day, giving many options to me to solve the situation.
The place was nice and relaxing.

It was just a perfect combination of yoga, hiking in beautiful nature, relaxing and doing other optional activities like olive oil or wine tasting... the food was also deliciously healthy (and I'm saying this as a nutritionist as well as a "food snob" ;)
Having a quite busy life usually, this retreat really did wonders, even in just four days!
