FAQs

We will be picking up all guests at the Florence Airport at 4 pm (15 minutes outside Florence). Then you will be taken to La Dogana (a 1.5 hour drive).
What time does the retreat end?
Checkout is at 9:30 am on October 11th, and then we will drive you back to Florence airport.
What is the cost? $2,600
This price includes everything except for your airfare to and from Italy, shopping during the city/town tours, and any snacks you may want to purchase to have on hand at your Villa. We will be stopping at a little Italian grocery on our way from Florence Airport to La Dogana as some guests like to have light snacks available in their villas, but all past guests have agreed that the provided meals during the retreat are abundant, filling, and absolutely delicious! There is fresh fruit available each morning at breakfast that you may take back to your room as well. Each villa has a full kitchen including a fridge. Water and wine are always available on site at the venue, and in the facility house you will also find coffee, sugar and salt.
There is a deposit of 30% to reserve your spot. Monthly payment options are available for the remaining balance. Balance is due 1 month before the retreat start date of October 5th. All payments will be handled directly through La Dogana.
Are there any private accommodations, or are all apartments shared?
There are multiple villa options. Each villa has 2-4 rooms and we do expect guests to share with others. If you are traveling with someone you will request to share your villa with them. However, if traveling solo a private villa may be requested for an additional $1,000 fee.
Which airport should I book my flight to and from?
Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR). Pick up will be at 4pm on October 5th to bring guests to La Dogana.
