Italy is our favorite place on Earth and Tuscany is our favorite place in all of Italy. What makes this retreat and this particular place so special is the fact that we were divinely and mystically guided to La Selvella. Roger and Albina together with their 2 daughters just “randomly” walked into this place on their world travels a few years back. It turns out that La Selvella is owned by Albina’s cousin Marina, that she didn’t even know existed. See video below for the whole story.
Now you get to experience all the magic of this place on Earth surrounded by family, exquisite food and wine, breath-taking beauty, adventure and so much love.
Join Roger & Albina Rippy, experienced yoga teachers, serial entrepreneurs and world travelers for a 5-day adventure Under the Tuscan Sun on September 13-18 in the heart of the Italian wine region, Tuscany.
Savor exquisite farm-to-table homemade Tuscan food and wine grown right at Agriturismo La Selvella and see all the incredible things Marina and her family are doing at La Selvella: witness the daily life on the organic farm, feed the animals, take a stroll in the olive tree orchard, or chill by the swimming pool and breathe in the pleasure of simply being Under The Tuscan Sun.
You will have to pinch yourself to remind yourself that you are not in a dream.
Included: Lodging, all meals at La Selvella, transportation in the region of Tuscany, truffle hunting, e-bike tour & wine tasting, daily yoga and meditation, hikes, and cooking class/dinner.
Not included: meals outside of La Selvella, wine and drinks at La Selvella, transportation to La Selvella from/to the airport and airfare.
Every room at Agriturismo La Selvella is beautifully unique and special. Some accommodations include a kitchen and a living room. Others have a private patio. All are in an upgraded traditional Tuscan farm stay style. King rooms are great for couples or really good friends who share a king-size bed.
