A little introduction
Nestled among the Italian rolling hills, INSPIRA is a place to immerse yourself in nature, breathe deeply, relax, and regenerate.
We are an organic permaculture farm, and opening a Farmstay & Retreat Center in Summer 2026. Just 30 minutes from the Tuscan coast, we are situated in a blessed position with regards to the region's beautiful nature and amazing cultural offerings.
THE FARMSTAY
Our premises allow us to host your holidays, events & retreats at this breathtaking setting. We have currently 4 double rooms and 2 studios with capacity to sleep 4 people each. Also we are building 3 glamping tents that each will sleep 2 people amongst our almond, pine, fig and olive trees.
To make your visit a true pleasure to the senses, we have built a beautiful infinity pool and a number of terraces and lounge areas, gardens and verandas to fully relax and enjoy the closeness to nature.
Find out more about our premises under our Hospitality section.
THE RETREAT CENTER
INSPIRA was designed as a retreat space entirely around the restorative power of nature and human connection. As a venue it offers an intentional sanctuary for facilitators looking to lead deeply impactful experiences.
Whether your focus as a Retreat Leader is holistic wellbeing—such as yoga, meditation, breath-work and nutrition—or collective growth through art, coaching, and team-building, our spaces provide the perfect backdrop for inspiration to flourish.
THE FARM
Since January 2025, we have been transforming this certified organic farm also into a Permaculture haven. Some key permaculture features we use include: earth-works to build and plant our Food Forest, a Mandala Vegetable Garden, and our Chicken Coops (fixed and mobile). In 2026 we've been expanding our projects to finalize our Green House and are hoping to include an Edible Flowers Meadow, a Spiral Herb Garden, perhaps already some Bee-Hives, and Mushrooms, among other.
Additionally, we are dedicating part of our land as a wilderness area and maintaining the existing 30-year and 4-year old Olive Groves. Check out our permaculture projects section for ongoing news! Or sign-up to our quarterly Newsletter.
THE PRODUCTS
As our permaculture project grows, we will continue the production of a high-end olive oil from our almost 800 tree olive grove, and the lavender flowers from our 2000 plants. In the coming years, our produce diversity will grow exponentially to include even more fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers and herbs. These are mostly for self consumption at the farm, so come visit!
OUR TEAM
Just like many of you, for many years we were a couple of business city people, living our very structured routines. We always were lucky enough to have a garden where we grew some fruits and vegetables. We dreamt of the next weekend or holiday to spend some time in nature. Today we find ourselves in beautiful Tuscany with a dream in the making! Our names are Marcela and Mark and we can't wait to share this place with you.
