Italy La Dolce Vita — Luxury Women’s Retreat 2027
The art of slowing down.
Most high-achieving women never discover this particular way of moving through life. Moreover, it is not about doing less — it is about receiving more. Specifically, La Dolce Vita is the Italian art of living well: slowly, beautifully, and with full presence. Therefore, this retreat exists to remind you of it.
What this week is.
Nestled among the rolling vineyards and ancient villages of Piedmont, Italy La Dolce Vita invites a select group of women into a week devoted to pleasure — not as indulgence, but as a way of being. Furthermore, through transformational workshops, immersive experiences, and meaningful sisterhood, you will leave feeling more alive, radiant, and deeply nourished. As a result, this is not a retreat you attend. Indeed, it is an experience you inhabit.
For the woman who leads.
Specifically, this retreat serves CEOs, investors, and high net-worth women who know that the most powerful thing they can cultivate is a deep relationship with their own energy. Moreover, she has mastered the outer world. Therefore, this week is an invitation to master the inner one.
What you will explore.
Specifically, inspired by the philosophy of La Dolce Vita, the week moves through embodiment, sensuality, creativity, nature, beauty, and authentic feminine expression. In addition, transformational workshops and immersive experiences guide you into a deeper reconnection with the wisdom of your body. Furthermore, meaningful sisterhood weaves through every moment, creating bonds that last well beyond the week itself.
Where you will be.
Specifically, Villa Monastero sits among the rolling hills of Montiglio Monferrato in Piedmont — a region of ancient villages, world-class wine, and a pace of life that insists on beauty. Moreover, the villa provides a private, intimate setting exclusively for your group. Therefore, everything here — the space, the silence, the landscape — becomes part of the experience itself.
Ten selected women.
Laura intentionally keeps this retreat to ten women only. Furthermore, the team will not promote it widely. Therefore, if you feel called to this experience, the next step is a private conversation with Laura. In addition, Laura personally selects each participant to ensure the group energy is exactly right.
Ultimately, this is your invitation. Moreover, if something in you already knows this is for you, trust that. Therefore, do not wait — contact us directly to book a private call with Laura directly to find out more.

The Journey Ahead
Your Week, Day By Day
Your week at Villa Monastero unfolds gently, so that each day builds on the one before. Moreover, rather than filling every hour, the schedule gives you space to absorb what you are moving through. Therefore, by the final day, the practices feel less like a programme and more like a rhythm you already know. In addition, Laura shares the full day by day flow on arrival, so you can surrender completely without needing to plan anything.

Venue information
Retreat Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
The estate sources all ingredients locally and prepares every meal fresh each day. Consequently, eating here forms as much a part of the experience as any workshop or ceremony. Moreover, the surrounding Piedmont hills offer walking trails, and the nearest village gives an authentic taste of Italian life that no hotel ever could. Therefore, Villa Monastero opens exclusively to private groups, which means the kitchen, the grounds, and every quiet corner belong entirely to your group.
