The RESET Retreat

About This Event

Join Amy for a one of a kind RESET experience. Beginning on an island in Greece on the beautiful Aegean Sea, you will unwind each morning with your coffee, explore the historical sites of the island during the daytime and unplug by the hotel’s pool. Each day you can join one of Amy’s yoga classes.

After our island time we head to Tuscany to the secluded, beautiful Eremito hotel for two nights of disconnecting from the outside world. Then onto an amazing wine Estate in the heart of Tuscany. A day trip to Florence and cooking classes with the local ladies round out this once-in-a-lifetime retreat. The perfect reset.

About the hotels

Minos Beach art hotel is mastering with ethos the art of hospitality, synched to nature and art. At the edge of the water, engulfed in Cretan greenery, Minos Beach art hotel constitutes a hidden gem for world explorers. Its design brings harmony into the senses, combining elements of art and nature. Walking into the gradniose Lounge area, you can sense authenticity and luxury, blended into art. Its unconventional design resembles the entrance to a Modern Art museum. The hotel’s bungalows and villas with private pools, stretched across a 2.5km coastline, offer a glimpse into the architectural style of Eastern Crete’s fishing villages, while blending naturally into their surroundings.

Torre A Cona Wine Estate is one of the best-kept secrets of Tuscany. Immersed in the Florentine hills, with an unforgettable view of the countryside, the charming eighteenth-century villa makes an immediate impression. Surrounded by olive groves, verdant vineyards and sturdy centuries-old walls, the estate has been restored with loving care and elegance.

Eremito is the ideal place for those who see in the essentiality, in the calm and in the true quiet, the keys to find inner peace. It is a mystical place, the result of a long journey towards the rediscovery of one’s self. The majesty of the Umbrian valleys in which he is immersed amplifies the sense of spirituality, to the point of enchanting eyes and soul.
