Hosted by Olivia Gunn and Emma Dobbie, this retreat brings together transformative movement and slower Tuscan living in a setting designed for full-body restoration. Set within a private olive estate, days begin with sunrise yoga overlooking the hills, followed by long lunches under the olive trees, hikes through the Compitese countryside, and nourishing self-care moments. Peaceful evenings are spent over dinners lovingly prepared by local Italian chefs, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. A hands-on pasta-making class and time in nearby Lucca bring a touch of local life, from its cobbled streets to traditional trattorias.

The Destination

Less than an hour’s drive from Florence and tucked within the sun-drenched Tuscan countryside, The Frantoio is a private olive estate surrounded by acres of gardens, groves, woodland, and wildflower fields. Positioned between the coast and the historic town of Lucca, it offers both seclusion and easy access to some of the region’s most iconic landscapes. Nearby, quiet country roads wind through small villages and farmland, while Lucca’s intact Renaissance walls and cobbled streets sit within easy reach.

The Retreat Host

With over a decade of experience, Olivia Gunn is a London-based personal trainer and yoga teacher known for her dynamic, results-driven approach to movement. Having taught at some of the city’s leading studios, including Triyoga, alongside weekends at the Newt in Somerset, her work draws on a breadth of disciplines, combining strength, mobility, and intelligent sequencing to support the body both in performance and recovery.

She is joined by Emma Dobbie, founder of The Face Planner and host at The Frantoio, her family’s private olive estate in Tuscany. With a focus on self-care and considered living, Emma shares her expertise through thoughtfully led skincare sessions while guiding guests through the rhythms of the estate and its surrounding landscape.

Together, they create a refined retreat experience, with a shared attention to detail and aesthetic sensibility that elevates every aspect of the stay.

Accommodation

Set within a restored 200-year-old olive mill, The Frantoio blends historic Tuscan character with relaxed, contemporary comfort. Six bedrooms are arranged within the main house, each informally elegant in style, with natural materials, soft linens, and understated interiors that reflect the tones and textures of the surrounding landscape. Across the house, generous communal spaces invite both gathering and quiet retreat, from long shared tables to relaxed living areas that open onto the estate. Outside, a saltwater pool is perched on the hillside above the villa, overlooking the surrounding countryside. Original features and thoughtful design details run throughout, creating a space that feels deeply connected to its setting and shaped by the character of the region.
