Tuscan Fitness

Tuscan Fitness is a luxury wellness retreat in Montegonzi, Italy. It sits among the vineyards and olive groves of the Tuscan hills. Each stay balances movement, food, and rest.

Key Facts and Achievements

The retreat has 203 reviews on Retreat Guru. The season runs from March 7 to October. Groups stay small, at 10–18 people, so every session remains personal.

The team includes Elske Klasen, Alexandra Sturgess, and Olaf De Boer. Staff range from yoga instructors to retreat coordinators.

Specialties and Wellness Programs

Programs combine yoga, fitness, guided hikes, and locally sourced meals. The signature Yoga & Fitness Retreat comes in stays of different lengths, so guests can pick what suits them.

Yoga and Mindfulness

Expert teachers lead yoga every morning and evening. Sunrise practice starts at 7:30. Sessions focus on mindful movement. In the afternoon, guests can join an alignment workshop to deepen their practice.

Fitness and Physical Conditioning

Strength sessions and guided countryside hikes fill the days. Guests who prefer a slower pace can rest by the view instead. The team tailors each stay to the individual guest.

Specialized Wellness Retreats

The clinic offers the following focused programs:

• Yoga & Horse Riding: Calming morning yoga paired with rides through the open Tuscan countryside.
• Yoga & Pamper: Restorative yoga combined with hands-on massage therapy.
• New Year Rejuvenation: A fixed-date program.

Workshops, tastings, and outings are part of the schedule. It varies slightly by retreat and season.

Nutritional Support and Facilities

Food is central to the stay. Dinners follow a farm-to-table approach, and ingredients from the estate's own farm are local and organic. Estate products include:

• Organic extra virgin olive oil
• The estate's own red wine, "Rosso Galeffi"
• Meat from Maremmano cattle that graze on the estate's 50 hectares of hills

Fresh fruit and vegetables come from local "0 Km" producers and are picked in season. Traceability matters here, since the team knows its suppliers, producers, and farmers by name.

Travel support services include:

• Airport Transfer Coordination: Help arranging transfers from Florence (FLR) and Pisa (PSA) airports.
