La Dolce Vita Retreat - Unhurried Days In Tuscany

Imagine slowing down and experiencing the Tuscany that so many visitors hope to discover — beautiful countryside, charming medieval villages, wonderful food, local wines and the simple pleasure of taking your time.

La Dolce Vita Retreat is a six-night escape at Il Peperoncino, our welcoming five-bedroom Tuscan home nestled in the beautiful countryside of Maremma, near Castiglione della Pescaia.

A taste of authentic Tuscany

Discover the character and traditions of this special corner of Italy.

• Wander through charming medieval towns and villages.

• Enjoy leisurely countryside walks and beautiful landscapes.
• Discover local wineries and enjoy wine tastings.
• Savour authentic Tuscan food in small, family-run restaurants.
