I so loved this trip. It was a perfect blend of relaxation, interesting activities I have never tried before and a a fun day in Florence seeing other places off the tourist path. Let's talk about the accommodations.....they are brilliant, a beautiful villa with a private pool and drop dead gorgeous scenery and peaceful environment....what more could you ask for. The food -- incredible. Our chef Pricilla and team treated us to spectacular Italian cuisine and excellent wine pairings. Our host Sonya was wonderful. She is inclusive, welcoming and a perfect hostess. The people she works with in Tuscany are also incredible, particularly Lisa. Finally, meeting the wonderful women on this trip and stretching myself was exactly what I needed. I cannot wait to explore more ROM Soul Escapes.

Highly recommend! My experience with This Tuscan Life was absolutely wonderful and far exceeded my expectations. Sonja mindfully planned every detail from the moment we arrived through the moment we left, and her expertise allowed a group of strangers to foster authentic connections almost immediately. Ashley set the tone for the day as she guided us through gentle yoga poses, and Chef Pricilla curated authentic Tuscan meals with ingredients fresh from the garden. From watercolor classes taught by local artist, Lisa, to ceramics, pasta making, and crafting our individual scents; there was a perfect balance between activities & downtime by the pool. The accommodations at the Torre a Cona estate were breathtaking and I felt as though I was living a dream each time I stepped out of my door. I created memories to last a lifetime and I will be booking another trip with Sonja soon!

The trip was amazing. Great connections with new people, personal chef created food, and beautiful views of Tuscan green land. This is a perfect trip for someone alone or someone in a small group either way you will create lasting memories.

Sonja is the queen of curating relaxing but impactful retreat experiences. I have been lucky to attend two European retreats with her - one to Tuscany and one to the Grecian seaside - and both were unforgettable. Sonja is so thoughtful and intentional with how she plans these trips. She goes above and beyond to make sure that her guests are happy, and is always willing to spend extra time to provide travel tips and reassurance for less experienced travelers. Sonja is more than just a “travel agent” - she actively participates in the retreat and makes a point to get to know everyone. I can’t recommend Sonja and Rom Soul Escapes more!

This trip was exactly what I needed! There was the perfect amount of resting/enjoying the villa and activities planned. Everything was just enough! The town, the villa, the food, and the intentionality made this trip a dream.
