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
My stay at La Forra with Tuscan Fitness was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The accommodation was clean, spacious, and comfortable.

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.

A piece of paradise
Just came back from a 3 night stay with Tuscan fitness and can honestly say that every part of the experience has exceeded my expectations. The property is situated in a beautiful location with stunning views all around. The service and hospitality was warm. The rooms were modest but clean and comfortable. The food was so fresh and delicious with lots of choices. Finally the fitness retreat was so well organized and catered to every level of fitness. The yoga was so relaxing and you have a fitness class to get a proper sweat. One of my favourite activities was the daily hike which David led with a nice touch of history. I the wine tasting was also a highlight.

Fantastic Retreat in the beautiful Tuscan hills
I cannot recommend the retreat at La Forra with Tuscan Fitness highly enough. The location and accommodation was superb, with stunning scenery all around and comfortable, clean rooms. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had to change from a double to a twin room and this was arranged for us with the minimum of fuss. The food was tasty and delicious and the restaurant we are in was comfortable with amazing views. The yoga instructors (Elske, Olaf and guest instructor Sunny from Canada) were all amazing, as were the guided hikes and we also enjoyed the wine tasting, olive oil tasting . the service was complete with the pick up and drop off at the train station. Excellent value for money and a huge treat all round. Thank you to everyone at Tuscan Fitness, we had a wonderful time. My only suggestion for improvement would be a few more vegan options with protein as this was a bit lacking from the vegan menu, but otherwise I am a very satisfied customer.
