Extra Activities in Wellness Retreat in Italy

Message from Elisa to our guest

We have a wide range of exciting activities among which there are also some new ones!

Any of these activities can be booked by contacting me, however they are all subject to availability and we recommend booking them well in advance. Payment will be collected prior to the beginning of the retreat. If you decide to book an extra activity after your arrival, we will do our best but it very well might not be possible. The schedule is very full so we advise not to book more than two extra activities. 

Please feel free to ask me about any details you may need regarding any of the activities listed above.

I'm looking forward to welcome and meeting everyone in Italy!
