Casolare Alberelli, Tuscany, Italy

Perched on a quiet hilltop within a protected nature reserve in Tuscany, Casolare Alberelli feels less like a traditional retreat and more like a hidden sanctuary suspended between land and sea. Once a monastery connected to the Church of Pisa, the property carries a subtle yet palpable sense of history—an atmosphere that invites stillness, reflection, and deep reconnection.

Surrounded by 42 hectares of untouched nature, the estate unfolds as a landscape of olive groves, forest paths, and open horizons overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. There is a natural rhythm here—one that gently encourages guests to slow down, listen, and observe. Whether walking through the forest, pausing in silence, or simply taking in the vast coastal views, the experience becomes less about doing and more about being.

Wellness at Casolare Alberelli is deeply rooted in nature, simplicity, and the power of space. Rather than structured, high-intensity programming, the property offers a more intuitive and organic approach to healing—one that allows each guest to move at their own pace.

At the heart of the experience is the surrounding landscape itself. Guests are invited to explore, meditate, and reconnect through long walks, silent observation, or even private moments of reflection in nature. Outdoor meditation spaces and open forest clearings create natural environments for grounding and inner stillness.

A standout feature is the wood-fired sauna and hot tub, nestled directly within the forest. This elemental setup—heat, water, and nature—offers a powerful sensory experience, supporting detoxification, relaxation, and nervous system regulation.

Yoga and meditation practices can be integrated into the stay, while bodywork and massage treatments are available to deepen physical and energetic release. The property also welcomes external practitioners, allowing for a flexible and evolving wellness offering, including personalized consultations and, where appropriate, more advanced healing modalities.

The culinary experience at Casolare Alberelli is an extension of its wellness philosophy—simple, nourishing, and deeply connected to the land. Food here is not just about taste, but about awareness, quality, and a return to natural ingredients.

Much of what is served reflects a farm-to-table approach, with locally sourced products and seasonal ingredients forming the foundation of each meal. The estate’s own olive grove produces its “green gold”—extra virgin olive oil—which becomes a central element in the kitchen, alongside homemade jams, forest berries, and herbal infusions.

Guests are invited to go beyond passive dining and engage more actively with the food experience. Workshops on recognizing and using spontaneous herbs introduce a deeper connection to nature’s edible offerings, while tastings of olive oil and local wines offer insight into the region’s rich culinary traditions.

Location

Located in the heart of coastal Tuscany, Casolare Alberelli occupies a unique position between countryside and sea.  The estate sits atop a Tuscan hill, offering sweeping views over the Tyrrhenian Sea while remaining surrounded by forest and open land. This duality—earth and water, stillness and openness—creates a powerful sense of balance and grounding.

The nearest international gateways are Pisa and Florence, both offering strong flight connections. From there, a scenic drive of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours brings guests into the rolling landscapes of coastal Tuscany.

For those traveling by train, nearby stations connect the region to major Italian cities, with onward transfers available by car. Having a car is recommended, as it allows guests to explore the surrounding coastline, nearby villages, and hidden beaches at their own pace.
