Why Yoga & Calisthenics?
Discover the powerful combination of yoga and calisthenics. While training together, Issy and Maxime found surprising parallels between the two—both rooted in functional movement, body awareness, and minimal equipment. Yoga enhances mobility, flexibility, and the mind-body connection, while calisthenics focuses on strength, endurance, and control.
Blending the two creates a practice that’s balanced, empowering, and deeply harmonizing—both physically and mentally. It also supports self-growth, confidence, and overcoming fear.
Best of all, yoga and calisthenics are accessible to everyone. Using only bodyweight, every movement can be adapted to any level. After years of hosting retreats across continents with participants from over 40 countries, Issy and Maxime have seen how this fusion inspires lasting transformation—on and off the mat.

FAQ’s

- Flights & Airport Transfers
- Private excursions outside the villa besides the ones we have planned for you
The closest airports are Pisa and Florence. Pisa is about a 1-hour drive (approximately 75 km), while Florence is around a 1.5-hour drive (approximately 90 km) from Villa Fonteintanata. Both airports offer a variety of domestic and international flights.
The closest city is Cecina (24 min by car). Although there are buses and trains from major cities, public transportation does not reach Villa Fonteintanata directly. The best and cheapest option is to rent a car once you arrive at the airport.
The check-in time is 3pm, although you are welcome to come earlier and hang out at the the pool or other common areas if you arrive before and your room is not ready. Check out time is 11:00 am, but a late checkout is possible whenever there is availability. Also, if you wish to stay longer and book some additional nights please let us know and we see what is possible.
Late May in Tuscany brings warm, sunny days with temperatures around 18–25°C (64–77°F). Mornings and evenings can be cooler, so a light layer is useful. Rain is rare—expect mostly clear skies and ideal conditions for outdoor activities.
