We're preparing small digital detox retreats in nature: a weekend or a few days with your phone off, in the corners of Italy we love most. The first dates aren't out yet. Leave your email and we'll tell you when they are.
Join the waiting list →two Italians based in Padova, both coming from jobs where the screen never really turns off.
Some years ago we started slowing down on purpose: yoga, meditation, long sabbaticals in India and Nepal with a backpack and barely any signal. Being offline for days did us more good than any holiday before it. Alice took it further and became a coach.
That's what we want to share now. We're building retreats where you leave your phone aside for a weekend or longer, in quiet places in nature here in Italy. We've spent the last ten years finding those places, so we know exactly where to take you.
Small villages, valleys and islands far from the busy routes. The kind of places where your phone loses signal and you don't mind.
Woods, mountains, water. Being outside is most of the program.
Long meals with things grown nearby. Eating slowly is part of switching off.
Face-to-face conversations that wouldn't fit in a chat. No networking, we promise.
We're choosing the places and shaping the days right now. No dates or prices yet: we'd rather get it right than rush it. If a few days offline sounds like something you need, leave your email or write to us, and we'll let you know as soon as there are dates and experiences you can book.
Two or three days offline in nature: enough to notice how different you feel by Sunday.

More days to properly slow down, for when a weekend isn't enough.

Add a line about what you're looking for, if you like.
When there are dates and places, you hear it from us first.
If it sounds right, you book. If not, no hard feelings.
We've spent ten years finding the quiet corners of this country. The first retreats will happen in places like these:
High meadows and small rifugi, far from the famous peaks and their crowds.
Fishing villages and slow islands, an hour from Venice and a world away.
Woods, rivers and villages in Italy's best-kept corner. Nothing here asks anything of you.
Vineyard hills where the days follow the light, not a schedule.
A high plateau of pastures and silence, malghe included.
Most of these places you can reach by train and bus. The detox starts on the way.
Nothing is booked yet. If one of these speaks to you, tell us in the form: it helps us choose.
We're still shaping the retreats, so we won't promise a schedule. But some things will be there for sure, because they're the things that helped us:
Trails and paths away from the busy routes, where the only notification is a cowbell.
Working farms and family-run places, with hosts who know the land by name.
Dinners that take a whole evening, with wine from the hill you walked in the morning.
A bike ride, a swim in a river, an afternoon with a book. Nothing to check off.
Hi, Alice & Cesare here. We spent years in front of screens, and then a few more learning to put them down. Now we're building digital detox retreats in Italy to share what helped us.
