The year-round retreats are meticulously curated to reflect the unique characteristics of each Tuscan season and align with RAKxa’s five interconnected pillars of wellness: Nutrition, Exercise, Stress Management, Rest, and Restorative Treatment. These retreats guide guests towards their health goals using RAKxa’s holistic and integrative approach, now brought to the heart of Tuscany.
Starting from 2nd October, RAKxa introduces its bespoke wellness packages at Castelfalfi, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the rich bounty of Tuscan nature. Each retreat draws inspiration from Castelfalfi’s rolling hills and natural healing energy, offering revitalising seasonal experiences, including nature hikes, truffle hunting, and wine or olive oil tastings, depending on the season. Guests will also enjoy wellness welcome amenities, such as essential oils to promote restful sleep and energising snacks to sustain them throughout the day.
Guests can choose from various retreat durations: a one-day experience to enhance an existing stay, a two-day retreat for deeper immersion, or a four-day rebalance journey for a full wellness experience. Each wellness experience has been designed to enhance guests’ existing stays at Castelfalfi.
Depending on the length of stay, the retreat programs include the following, in line with RAKxa’s Integrative Wellness Pillars to Wholeness:
- Nutrition: While traditional Italian cuisine is a highlight in Tuscany, guests have the option to complement their wellness experience with RAKxa’s anti-inflammatory wellness cuisine. This menu features seasonal, locally sourced produce, prepared by Castelfalfi’s executive chef, Davide De Simone.
- Exercise: A selection of customised workout sessions to support and elevate guests’ fitness journeys, crafted to meet specific goals.
- Stress Management: Engage in local activities such as truffle hunting and wine or olive oil tastings, all inspired by the season. These experiences provide a unique way to manage stress while connecting with Tuscany’s natural and cultural richness.
- Restorative Treatments: A selection of 90-minute wellness treatments at the RAKxa Wellness Spa, designed specifically to rebalance guests according to their health goals.
- Rest: Indulge in restful sleep with in-room wellness amenities. Essential oils and other thoughtful touches are provided to enhance relaxation and promote a serene sleep environment amidst the tranquil Tuscan landscape.
Personalised Wellness Itinerary: For those opting for the four-day retreat, a consultation with a RAKxa health and wellness adviser will be available. This personalised session will help tailor a wellness itinerary based on individual health goals, incorporating specific recommendations for food, exercise, and activities.
