A retreat for those who want to slow down

We're in the heart of Guardistallo, just a few minutes from the sea. Here we welcome guests who want to slow down, explore at their own pace, and feel at home from the very first day.

ABOUT US

Where time is meant to be savoured

We’re Sara and Giulio, originally from Brescia. We chose to change our lives and move to Tuscany in search of more time, cleaner air and a slower way of living.



We lovingly restored a historic building in the heart of Guardistallo, often with our own hands, creating warm, welcoming spaces to share with people who appreciate the same way of travelling, living and experiencing the world.
