Ancora del Chianti Art & Yoga Retreat in Tuscany

Ancora del Chianti B&B & Art Yoga Retreat
A unique retreat experience in the heart of Tuscany

Nestled among the rolling hills of the iconic Chianti countryside, between the timeless cities of Florence and Siena, Ancora del Chianti B&B & Art Yoga Retreat Center is a place where beauty, creativity, wellbeing, and authentic Tuscan hospitality come together.

Perched on a hilltop and embraced by vineyards, olive groves, and lush gardens, this charming stone farmhouse offers breathtaking panoramic views and a peaceful atmosphere that feels wonderfully removed from the outside world, while remaining remarkably close to Florence, Tuscany’s main airports, celebrated art cities, and enchanting country villages.

Just 20 km from Florence and only 5 km from the picturesque village of Greve in Chianti, Ancora del Chianti invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and find inspiration in the extraordinary beauty of the Tuscan landscape. Here, rustic charm meets contemporary comfort, creating an intimate and welcoming environment for retreats, creative gatherings, yoga, workshops, and moments of personal renewal.

The estate can accommodate up to 17 guests in 8 comfortable rooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom. At the heart of the property, a spacious and light-filled 40 sqm studio provides a beautiful setting for yoga, meditation, artistic activities, workshops, ​meetings and other indoor experiences. Outside, the generous, level garden areas offer an exceptional space for practicing, creating, gathering, or simply enjoying the surrounding nature.

The unique character of Ancora del Chianti has also received international recognition, with the retreat recently being included among The Times UK’s Top 25 retreats worldwide.

A home for creativity, yoga and connection
Owned by an artist and passionate yoga enthusiast, Ancora del Chianti has been a beloved retreat destination for more than 2​5 years. Over the years, it has welcomed guests from around the world, together with artists, yoga teachers, coaches, and their communities, all drawn to the special energy of this inspiring place.

Guests fall in love with the idyllic setting of this charming property, where spacious, level gardens invite movement, creativity, and connection. The light-filled studio and the beauty of the surrounding nature provide an inspiring canvas for transformative yoga, artistic, and wellbeing journeys, while convivial meals shared around the table create moments of connection, laughter, and togetherness, adding a warm and memorable dimension to the retreat experience.

There is a natural conviviality here​: a sense of being welcomed into a home rather than simply staying at a venue.

Where nature becomes part of the experience
At Ancora del Chianti, nature is not simply the backdrop. It becomes part of the retreat itself.

The gentle rustling of leaves, birdsong drifting through the garden, the breeze moving across the vineyards, and the changing light over the Chianti hills create a quiet soundtrack throughout the day.

The retreat spaces are thoughtfully surrounded by pockets of privacy and peacefulness, allowing each guest and each group to find their own rhythm. Whether practicing yoga among the olive trees, painting in the studio, meditating in the garden, sharing a meal beneath the Tuscan sky, or simply pausing to admire the view, every corner offers an invitation to slow down and be present.

It is a place where inspiration comes naturally, where creativity can flourish, and where moments of stillness can become deeply restorative.

More than a venue
Ancora del Chianti is much more than a place to host a retreat.

It is an immersive Tuscan experience — a welcoming home, a creative sanctuary, a place for movement and mindfulness, and a peaceful escape surrounded by some of Italy’s most beautiful landscapes.

Here, the beauty of Tuscany becomes part of your journey.
Here, there is space to breathe, create, connect, and simply be.

Come and experience Ancora del Chianti and let Tuscany inspire your retreat​!
