About Tuscan Fitness
Mission & Vision
Tuscan Fitness is located just outside a town called Cavriglia, located in the Upper Valdarno in the province of Arezzo and is often considered the center of the triangle that joins the cities of Florence, Arezzo and Siena, making it ideal for visiting the area. Nestled between the left bank of the river Arno and the hills of Chianti, it is also called the “Porta del Chianti”, or the door of Chianti, as it sits on the doorstep of this beautiful region, famous worldwide for its delicious wines.
The area around where the retreat is located is typically Tuscan, complete with rolling green hills, olive groves and vineyards. This part of Tuscany has a great deal to see and we do our utmost to work with local producers and businesses to show the best of the region.
The hotel is also conveniently located for those interested in making day trips to the famous towns and cities in the area, including Florence (45 minute drive), Arezzo (30 minutes), Siena (30 minutes) and Orvieto (45 minutes).

An Unforgettable Wellness Experience in the Heart of Tuscany
The food was fresh, healthy, plentiful and full of variety. Every meal felt nourishing, and satisfying, with plenty of options to choose from and generous servings.
The entire team at Tuscan Fitness deserves the highest praise. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. A special mention goes to Dave, whose guided walks were a highlight of the stay — his knowledge of the local history and plant life was fascinating, and his passion for the region truly shone through.
The yoga instructors, Elske and Sunny (guest instructor from Canada), were absolutely excellent. Their classes were beautifully guided and catered to all levels, combining daily yoga and meditation sessions that left me feeling grounded, calm, and refreshed each day.
I also loved the sense of community that naturally developed among guests. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere made it so easy to connect, socialise, and share experiences — I met some truly wonderful people and made friendships that will last well beyond the trip.
The daily rhythm of yoga, scenic walks, and the freedom to choose from other activities — whether it was joining a local tour, indulging in a massage, going horse riding, or simply relaxing by the pool — offered the perfect balance of structure and flexibility. Each day could be as active or restful as I wished.
The setting at La Forra is pure serenity — breathtaking views, peaceful stillness, and the gentle soundtrack of birdsong throughout the day. It’s the kind of place that instantly rejuvenates your soul and spirit.
If it weren’t so far from Australia, I’d be a regular visitor! I can’t recommend Tuscan Fitness enough — it’s a perfect blend of wellness, nature, culture and authentic Tuscan hospitality.
