The property is central to locations like Assisi, Lake Trasimeno, Perugia, Montepulciano and Umbertide for those who wish to explore the region on their own. This all-inclusive wellness retreat offers nurturing, healing, creative expression and self-care through yoga, meditation and artistic exploration. Enjoy healthy, sensational gourmet meals of the region, with accommodations for those with special dietary needs.

My classes and retreats are tailored to meet the needs of a variety of experience levels with focus on proper alignment, use of the breath, and the creation of a light heart. I have ERYT-500 certification from Yoga Alliance,  additional certification in Yoga for Healthy Aging and an MFA from Tulane University. I've lead yoga retreats near my home in North Carolina as well as overseas. When on retreat with me you can expect to have a unique experience centered in yoga, art, food and local culture.

There are a few rooms that are suitable for a single person. They may be slightly smaller but still have a queen or king size bed.

Orchestra Rosa and Orchestra Rossa are two adjoining rooms with a shared bath but private entrances. One room has a queen sized bed and the other a larger than standard single bed.

Single with Shared Bath

This package is best suited for couples. There are several rooms with either queen or king beds and ensuite baths. Some of these beds can be separated into twins if you are traveling with a friend. All have views of the surrounding hills with the exception of the ground floor which offers convenience to the dining hall.

Double with Private Bath

Loggione is a large room on the 3rd floor which can accommodate 3 single beds. There is an ensuite bath and beautiful view.

Travel Insurance

Terzo di Danciano is located in the Tuscan countryside away from highways and city noise. While remote, it is not hard to get too. We suggest flying into Rome or Florence at least one day before the retreat to acclimate to the time change and see a little more of Italy. From either of these cities, take the train to Terontola/Cortona station.  Train tickets should be bought in advance. Before your arrival, contact our hosts to arrange for pick up at the train station. Coordinate your arrival with others on the trip to save a few euros! Heather and I will share our travel itineraries for those who wish to travel with us but we are not able to coordinate group airfare or secure train tickets for you. https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html

Getting There

What if I don't have a regular yoga practice?     Heather and I specialize in working with all levels of yoga  practitioners including those who are rusty or brand new to the practice.  Should I rent a car?     A week on retreat goes by very quickly and we have many activities and two excursions built into our time in Italy. If you would like to create excursions on your own, you will be responsible for securing a taxi/car as this is outside of the package we are offering. Upon arrival we can offer a list of drivers who are familiar with Terzo. Car rental is available in Rome or Florence. You will need an international drivers license. https://www.usa.gov/international-drivers-licenseThis should be arranged in advance. Please let us know if you are choosing to rent a car. I have food allergies, intolerances or I am vegetarian or vegan. Will the chef be able to accommodate my needs?       Absolutely! The kitchen staff at Terzo di Danciano is one of the most creative and accommodating teams you will come across. Just make sure you share your food preferences with me or Heather when you sign up.  What is the weather like in Tuscany in September?     The weather is similar to that of the North Carolina foothills. Brilliant sunshine, warm temperatures, dramatic clouds, cooler temperatures and rain are all possible. Just check your weather app for Cortona and you'll be fine!  How about modern conveniences like AC?    The rooms at Terzo all have heat and air conditioning and windows that open for fresh air. There are hair dryers, shampoo, fresh towels, spa robes and room cleaning daily.
