What Authors Say About the Retreat
I got more done in six days at the villa than I had in the previous six months at home. The structure and the setting both did the work.
Being surrounded by other serious writers, with an editor available whenever I got stuck, changed how I think about my book.
A Retreat Designed to Actually Move Your Book Forward
A Small, Serious Group
Capped at eight authors so every writer gets real time with coaches and each other.
A Setting Built for Focus
A private villa in the Chianti hills, away from the distractions that stall a manuscript at home.
Structured, Not Just Scenic
Each day balances guided writing time, coaching, and workshops — this is a working retreat.
Fully Hosted
Accommodations, meals, and excursions are handled so you can focus entirely on your book.
Retreat FAQ
Do I need a finished draft to attend?
No. Retreats are built for authors at any stage — from a rough concept to a manuscript that needs restructuring.
What's included in the retreat fee?
Accommodations, meals, daily coaching and workshops, and excursions are included. Travel to and from the villa is arranged separately.
Can I bring a guest who isn't writing a book?
Retreats are focused on working authors, so we generally don't accommodate non-writing guests during the program itself.
What genres are welcome?
Memoir, business, fiction, self-help — any genre is welcome. Workshops are structured to be useful across genres, with 1:1 coaching tailored to your specific book.
How far in advance should I book?
Retreats are capped at eight authors and tend to fill months ahead, so we recommend reserving your seat as soon as dates are announced.
