Retreat Highlights
Livin’ la dolce vita
Soak in Ancient Roman Baths
To the ancient Romans, wellness was not a luxury, but a lifestyle. And perhaps it’s time we took a page out of their book. Let the warm mineral waters envelope your body as you marvel at the beautiful Roman architecture surrounding you. As the steam rises, softens your skin, and calms your mind—let your spirit remember what it means to simply be.
Tour a Local Winery
At Bindella-Tenuta Vallocaia, nestled in the heart of Montepulciano, you’ll be welcomed into a centuries-old wine sanctuary where the walls whisper history and every pour tells a story.
Your tour comes with a delicious lunch where you’ll get to taste the authentic flavors of the region. Because what’s a journey to Tuscany without an evening of fine wine, ancient stories, and unforgettable flavors?
Take an Italian Cooking Class
Indulge in an exclusive culinary experience with an intimate hands-on cooking class that brings the flavors of the Val d'Orcia Region to life. Under the guidance of a master chef, you’ll prepare authentic regional dishes using the freshest local ingredients. With every stir, every sprinkle of herbs, and every shared smile across the table, you’ll experience the magic of Italian cuisine and the joy of creating something beautiful together.
Meet Your Guides
Dr. Amy White
Acupuncture Physician, Founder of Hello Holistic Retreats, and Lead Nurturer
Hi there!
My name is Amy White. I’m an Acupuncture Physician, certified Holistic Health Coach, and Aromatherapist with over 18 years of experience in natural healing and integrative wellness.
Long before I became an Acupuncture Physician, I’ve dreamed of hosting soul-nourishing wellness retreats in beautiful places around the world.
As a very sensitive empath and avid traveler, awakening my senses in places of beauty works wonders for my soul. And it’s my deepest joy to offer that same experience to others.
I’m a natural nurturer and I love creating safe spaces where people can truly unwind, rejuvenate, and reconnect with themselves.
My intention for this retreat is simple: that you leave feeling completely refreshed and restored—like you hit the reset button.
Kind Words from Amy’s Clients
"Amy is the most intuitive & talented acupuncturist I have ever experienced. So grateful she is in my life." Deedra B. "I am a young and extremely active individual who struggled with IBS symptoms and excess body fat when I first came in contact with Amy. Despite the fact that no doctors had been able to pin point what was wrong with my digestive system, and no workout regimes had been able to get rid of my belly fat; Amy had me free of symptoms and in the best shape of my life within 3 months of her guidance and support. Thank you Amy!" - Sophie
"Amy was recommended to me by my best friend and I'm so grateful! She is very thorough and thoughtful in her patient evaluation. I value my twice a month sessions and would recommend it to anyone looking to heal and improve their health in a natural way." - Allison P.

Guided excursions
Let the journey be just as restful as the destination. With our private tour guide leading the way, you can relax and take in the stunning Tuscan landscape as you're transported to some of the region’s most charming and historic locations.
From ancient hilltop villages to quiet countryside estates, each curated stop invites you to slow down and savor the beauty around you—without worrying about directions, logistics, or planning. All you have to do is show up, be present, and enjoy the ride.
Here is the list of the towns we are visiting
Montepulciano—A hilltop town known for its Renaissance beauty and one of Italy’s most prestigious wines, Montepulciano offers sweeping valley views and cobblestone charm at every turn.
Pienza—Often called the “Ideal City of the Renaissance,” Pienza is a picturesque village famous for its pecorino cheese, romantic streets, and harmonious architecture.
San Quirico—A quiet medieval village adorned with walled gardens, ancient chapels, and sun-drenched piazzas—a peaceful stop in the heart of the Val d’Orcia.
Montalcino—Home of the legendary Brunello wine, Montalcino is a fortified town surrounded by vineyards, offering a blend of rustic warmth and sophisticated flavor.
Bagno Vignoni—A thermal spa village where steaming waters flow through an ancient Roman bath in the main square—offering rest, healing, and a glimpse into timeless wellness.
Monticchiello—A tiny, storybook village nestled in the hills, known for its stone houses, winding streets, and views so beautiful they feel like a painting.
Orvieto—Dramatically perched on a volcanic cliff in Umbria, Orvieto stuns with its Gothic cathedral, underground caves, and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Area of Val di Chiana & Val D'Orcia—These rolling valleys are the heart of Tuscany’s natural beauty—where golden fields, ancient farmhouses, and winding cypress-lined roads create a landscape that feels both cinematic and sacred.
Royal Treatment from Head to Toe
Choose from a selection of restorative treatments throughout your trip that will leave you feeling rested, renewed, and rejuvenated. After a day of soaking in the sights and strolling through charming villages, these experiences will feel like pure bliss.
Reflexology
Activate your body’s natural healing through a deeply calming foot therapy designed to relax the nervous system, improve circulation, and ground your energy.
Facial Gua Sha
Stimulate circulation and soften facial tension through the gentle practice of facial gua sha. This is an ancient Chinese healing technique that uses a smooth stone tool to glide across the face in slow, intentional strokes. It reduces puffiness and inflammation, improves skin tone, and glow, and encourages a lifted, relaxed, and refreshed appearance.
Acupuncture
Experience a healing ancient practice that gently stimulates specific points on the body to restore balance, relieve tension, and support your body’s natural flow of energy.
Essential Oils
Harness the power of plants through essential oils—concentrated botanical extracts that support emotional balance, physical well-being, and natural healing. Used thoughtfully, these potent essences can calm the nervous system, uplift the mood, and create a sacred space for rest and restoration.
Ear Seeds
Receive custom ear seeds placed on pressure points designed to support rest, renewal, and emotional balance.
Gentle Movement and Peaceful Practices
You’ll have the option of participating in guided meditation walks through acres of olive groves or free classes like Yoga and Qi Gong.
Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese practice that combines gentle movement, mindful breathing, and meditation to help cultivate and balance the body’s energy.
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong is often called “meditation in motion” and is used to reduce stress, restore vitality, and promote overall health and spiritual awareness.This practice helps ground the nervous system and invites stillness within.

Of course! Although we encourage everyone to engage in these gentle practices during the retreat, they are optional, and you can choose to participate in all, some, or none. It’s all up to you!

We’re keeping this retreat intentionally intimate, with space for just 14 guests. This allows for deeper connection, personalized experiences, and a peaceful atmosphere where everyone feels seen, supported, and cared for.
10. What will the weather be like?
Spring in Tuscany is absolutely beautiful! Think blooming hillsides, golden light, and crisp, refreshing air. The average temperature ranges from 50–65°F, so you’ll want to dress in layers. Mornings and evenings can feel cool, while the afternoons are often sunny and mild. We recommend bringing a light sweater or layers for those cozy moments—especially if you're enjoying dinner outdoors or taking a quiet walk through the olive groves.
11. Will there be any downtime during the retreat?
Absolutely. While each day is thoughtfully curated with meaningful experiences, how you spend your time is entirely up to you. You’ll have your own cozy apartment to retreat to whenever you need rest or reflection. Whether you want to join every activity or slip away for quiet solitude, there’s plenty of space for both connection and stillness.
12. How much walking will there be?
Tuscany is known for its charming hilltop towns and cobblestone streets, so there will be a fair amount of walking throughout the retreat. Some locations may include stairs or steeper paths. We’ll take our time and enjoy the journey, but this retreat is best suited for women who feel physically comfortable navigating hills, uneven paths, and longer strolls. Comfortable walking shoes are a must—and trust us, the views are worth every step!

Treat Yourself to An All-Inclusive Women’s Wellness Retreat in the Beautiful Countryside of Tuscany, Italy
Women's Spring Wellness Retreat - April 11-18, 2026
Only 14 spots available
Slip Away From Stress & Into a World of Serenity
Your body is carrying a lot these days. We all feel it in different ways. Maybe it’s the tension in your back or shoulders, the emotions swelling in your chest, or the tightness in your throat.
Between nonstop headlines, daily demands, and a culture that glorifies hustle, it’s no wonder so many of us feel stretched thin, disconnected, and depleted. And while stress may be invisible, its impact is not. It quietly drains our joy, peace, and physical well-being.
The worst part is that many of us don’t know just how much stress our bodies are carrying until we take an intentional pause to rest and relax.
Although we can’t control the chaos happening around us, we do have control over the state of our well-being, and it’s time we start paying attention to it.
Consider this your invitation to disconnect from the busyness, focus on your wellness, and enjoy a soulful getaway.
Experience the Ultimate Reset for Your Mind, Body, and Soul
Step into the heart of Tuscany this Spring, where rolling hills, blooming wildflowers and golden light invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.
Nestled in a charming countryside, our retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort, beauty, and tranquility.
Each day begins with gentle movement—yoga to awaken the body, mindful walks among the olive groves and vineyards, and quiet moments of meditation to settle the mind. Afternoons invite sightseeing and experiencing the flavors of Tuscany, while evenings are for nourishing meals, meaningful connection, and stillness under the stars.
Not only will you experience the land, but also the culture, traditions, and soul.
Our Dreamy Destination
The Val d’Orcia Region—A Hidden Gem and Irreplaceable Treasure
The Val d’Orcia Region is a World Heritage Site, which means it has been officially recognized by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) as having outstanding value to humanity. This region was chosen for its breathtaking landscapes and the way it reflects Renaissance ideals of harmony between humanity and nature. Even for the well-traveled, this area of Tuscany is often left undiscovered.
We’ll be staying in a 13th-century monastery turned country estate. Each guest gets their own private apartment complete with their own bedroom, bathroom, and seating area.
