What's Included

  • Daily breakfast to start each morning
  • Optional daily movement to stretch, flow, or recharge
  • One shared group meal each day
  • One culturally immersive experience each day
  • Transportation throughout Italy once you arrive
  • Time to rest, wander, and enjoy at your own pace
