ABOUT US
A note from our founder anya
Welcome to Meadowsweet Retreat, experiences connecting us to nature which started in Dorset, England and are now hosted in the wild Tuscan mountains. My name is Anya Lily and I am the founder of Meadowsweet. Growing up in the English countryside, I spent much of my time with my mother, an intuitive herbalist and forager, learning about the healing power of plants. I also lived in India with my yoga teacher father, where I discovered the transformative benefits of yoga and meditation.
After a beautiful and successful career as a restaurant consultant and mixologist, I realised that my true calling was to create a unique space where people could reconnect with nature and find inner peace. That's how Meadowsweet Retreat came to life, a collaboration with a nature reserve in Tuscany. Our vision was to create an immersive experience that would empower people to connect with the earth and to embrace a more sustainable way of life.
We have spent the past few years cultivating the land and exploring the forests, waterfalls, springs, meadows, and orchards that surround us. Our guests can enjoy a range of activities, including permaculture workshops, beekeeping, wildcrafting, and homesteading. Our retreats are designed to help you nourish your body, mind, and soul, and to reconnect with your inner self.
At Meadowsweet Retreat, we believe that self-love is the foundation of personal growth. Our retreats are a place to dream, to connect, to learn, and to grow. We want our guests to feel like seeds being carefully tended by our gardening hands, growing into vibrant plants that blossom and thrive.
Thank you for considering Meadowsweet as your next destination. We look forward to welcoming you with open arms and to sharing the beauty and magic of the wilds with you.
LOCATION
Fosini, Radicondoli
During the retreat you will stay in tastefully restored Tuscan villas, cottages and luxury bell tents in the meadows, near the village of Radicondoli. The design allows the luminous energy of nature to blend seamlessly with the spacious interior landscape of calming green and soft natural hues, a stone carved fireplace and creamy stone floors throughout.
The rose scented garden gazing over an untouched valley provides many places in which to unwind and reflect, be it sipping wild fennel tea on the wisteria patio or sprawling on a luxurious daybed tucked away under a tree.
During free time guests can lounge by the salt water infinity pool, share stories around the fire pit, rub on locally sourced clay to detoxify their skin before rinsing in the natural springs, read a book in the apple orchard, practice yoga on the oak tree deck, explore the vineyards, hike to a waterfall or discover panoramic viewpoints.
The closest airports are Pisa and Florence, about 1.5 hours away and the closest city Siena.
This is a paradise that's difficult to leave.
