The Botanical Retreat of Villa Lena Experiencing the magical power of botany in art and food, in a stunning location

Villa Lena is more than a beautiful antique mansion. More than just a hotel or a sustainable farmhouse. It is a place where you can find your mindfulness, awaken your creativity and reconnect with nature. Located near Pisa, among the hills of Tuscany and surrounded by 500 hectares of woods, vineyards, olive groves and organic gardens, the villa is an artistic residence that offers its guests the opportunity to share special experiences, following workshops held by international artists, chefs and expert farmers.

The first appointment will be from the 15th to the 19th of April with the Botanical Retreat. This project will be a journey into the magical power of botany in art and food, made in collaboration with The Plant Magazine, textile designer Nadine Goepfert and the Tuscan Flower School of Rebel Rebel. Each of them will be holding a series of creative workshops: the magazine crew will focus on publishing; Rebel Rebel on floral design; while Nadine will explain how to create innovative and beautiful tablecloths using locally harvested flowers and plants.

In addition, guests, who will stay for 4 nights in luxurious rooms with breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills, will be able to attend daily workshops on botanical cocktails and teas, wine and olive oil tastings, sample dishes created by residence chef, or simply enjoy the beauty of Villa Lena, relaxing by swimming in the heated pool or with some yoga sessions in the studio.

The Botanical Retreat package includes four nights' accommodation, full board (breakfast, lunch and dinner), workshops and creative materials and access to Villa Lena's facilities.
