SLOW LIVING TUSCAN RETREAT

April 23 - April 29, 2026

A most gently restorative Tuscan Reset in collaboration with Nourish Travel.


‘Slow Living' is a reset, a return to self, and the kind of journey that nourishes body, heart, mind and soul.


This is Macchione at its best; combining the gifts of mindfulness with 'la-dolce-vita'.

the total reset for body, mind, heart & soul

The Art & Science of Slow

A journey into the peace we inhabit when we intentionally slow down, when we take constructive rest and when we shift our focus from productivity into presence.


Enveloped in the sanctuary space of Macchione, we take our cues from nature, amidst the iconic backdrop of rolling hills.

'A deeply restorative and uplifting retreat experience'

Where mindful living meets a taste of Tuscany; soulful practices, long lunches, seasonal living and the pursuit of simple pleasures. 


We blend the teachings of mindfulness; breath-centred movement, guided meditation and insightful workshops, with the tranquil pace of Tuscan life and set it all against a backdrop of rolling hills and unparalleled views.


This six-night mindful journey is designed for those who wish to live with more presence, in greater connection with nature and one-another, enjoying authentic flavours, hands-on experiences, and the kind of long conversations that only happen around a shared table. 


You will evaluate your life in a way that feels like taking a fresh perspective, you will gain understanding on your sense of well-being and you will learn how and why to prioritise your precious resources; time, energy and presence.

'LOVED it'

Meet Your RETREAT HOSTS, CALLY & MANDI

Cally Albrecht is your retreat co-host, owner of Antico Macchione, yoga & meditation teacher.


‘I am passionate about creating inclusive spaces for us to heal, learn and grow together.’


Cally created the healing sanctuary that is Macchione because she had experienced the transformational and healing power of retreats for herself. 


With a lifelong passion for the philosophy of yoga among other wisdom traditions, she blends these teachings with movement and meditation to offer her own unique style of body-mind-self-healing. 


Mandi Gunsberger is the founder of Nourish Travel and passionate believer in the power of pressing pause.


The idea for Nourish Travel first took root in Tuscany, back in 2018, after selling her media company, when Mandi spent a life-changing year living in the heart of the Italian countryside. 


That one magical year became a mission: to design retreats that nourish not just the body, but the mind and soul. 


Today, Nourish Travel hosts exclusive boutique retreats all across the globe.
