For retreats and groups · Tuscany
A whole hamlet for your group
Peralta’s nine houses and apartments can be taken together: sixteen bedrooms, the pool, the gardens and the dining room, for your group alone. Retreats, workshops, small weddings and family gatherings have all found their week here.
A note from Dinah
Peralta is the little stone hamlet the sculptor Fiore de Henriquez restored by hand and made her home. Her work is still everywhere.
If you run retreats, I’d love to hand you the keys to all of it: the houses, the kitchen, the terraces and the view, yours for the week.

The whole place, just yours
Sole use of the borgo
- 9accommodations, available individually or privatized for celebrations, weddings or workshops and retreats
- 16bedrooms, each with its bathroom, for a private occasion of any type, with the possibility of catering

Fiore lived and worked at Peralta until her death in 2004. The hamlet has continued to be the same inspiring place as when it was first restored by Fiore. It is still a haven for guests seeking an unusual and calm place for a holiday, an oasis away from the busy coast and tourist towns. It is also a popular destination for courses (art, yoga, writing) as well as family celebrations and indeed anyone seeking a venue for workshops, retreats, etc. It offers a total of 15 bedrooms and bathrooms for a private occasion of any type, with the possibility of catering.
Spaces to work
Room to teach, cook and gather
A large kitchen had to be built, a bar area created, tables were added to the terrace.
A professional kitchen
Room for a chef, a cookery class or catering for the whole group, with a large dining room beside it.
Terraces as studios
Shaded, open-sided terraces make natural spaces for painting, writing or sitting with a view to the sea. For yoga, the big room takes ten people and their teacher.
A communal dining room
One long table for the whole group beside the kitchen, and a big room with a very long table of its own for classes, talks and workshops. A writing course has the room to itself, and every house and apartment has a desk or table to write at.
An example week
How seven days at Peralta might run
A framework, not a timetable. Every group shapes its own week.
| Day | Morning | Afternoon | Evening |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saturday | Arrival | Settle into the houses; Blaise shows the group around the borgo. | Welcome dinner in the communal dining room. |
| Sunday | Opening session in the communal room | Free time — the pool, or a walk into the chestnut hills. | Supper cooked by the chef. |
| Monday | Morning practice on the terraces | Workshop session two. | Dinner at the long table. |
| Tuesday | Morning session | Cookery class in the professional kitchen. | The group eats what it made. |
| Wednesday | Free day | Lucca, Pietrasanta or the coast — transfers on request. | Dinner out in Camaiore. |
| Thursday | Morning session | Final workshop session. | Aperitivo at the pool at sunset. |
| Friday | Closing circle | Packing, last swims, time alone. | Farewell dinner in the dining room. |

What’s included
Sole use of houses, shared spaces, kitchen, terraces, gardens and pool. Chefs, transfers and excursions as add-ons.
The lane, honestly
The last bit of road through Agliano is steep and narrow, with a couple of hairpin bends. It's easily done — just take it gently. Travelling with a lot of luggage? We'll happily bring it up in our little three-wheel truck.
