Podere Felceto
A slower pace, a Tuscan setting
Some retreats are built around a named lineage; Podere Felceto’s public face is instead centered on relaxation and wellness, making it a gentler prospect for travelers who want room to pause without assuming a formal meditation curriculum. The property is in the Metropolitan City of Florence, a useful base for pairing a restorative stay with time in Tuscany. There is also a literary thread in its story: Roberto Del Mastio spent much of his childhood in the Chianti countryside near Tavarnelle, memories he later gathered in Drops of Memory. That connection lends the place a sense of lived attachment to the region. Podere Felceto is a paid retreat option; check its website for current offerings, rates, and practical details. Come with curiosity, and let the specific retreat shape your expectations.
