Company Retreats
in Italy
Why Italy?
Italy offers the right mix for team retreats: lakes framed by mountains, rolling vineyards, stunning coastlines, a great food culture, and some of the most beautiful towns in the world.
Long lunches under vines and olive trees, slow evenings in old piazzas, and a culture built around delicious food and good company make it easy for teams to slow down, reconnect, and make the most of their time together.
ALL OF ITALY IN ONE TRIP
Renaissance art in Florence, villas on Lake Como and Lake Garda, cliffside villages on the Amalfi Coast, and olive groves in Puglia. You can mix city, coast, and nature in one retreat.
LONG, SUNNY SEASONS
Mild springs, warm summers, and golden autumns from April to October. Outdoor sessions, terrace dinners, wine tastings in the open air, picnics in the Tuscan hills, and boat days are easy to plan.
LA DOLCE VITA
Fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, burrata, local olive oil, and wines like Chianti, Brunello, and Primitivo. In Italy, a meal is never just a meal, it’s where the best conversations happen.
EASY TO GET TO
Direct flights into Milan, Rome, Florence, Naples, Bari, and Catania from across Europe, and fast trains linking the main cities in just a few hours.
Company Retreat Activities in Italy
Shared experiences in the kitchen, the vineyards, and on the water that give your team time to connect outside the meeting room.
WINE TASTING IN THE VINEYARDS
Walk the vines and taste Chianti or Brunello with the families who have made it for generations.
HOMEMADE TIRAMISU CLASS
Learn to make Italy’s favourite dessert from scratch – because who doesn’t love tiramisu?
PATH OF THE GODS HIKE
Walk the famous trail high above the Amalfi Coast, with the sea on one side and mountains on the other.
WORKSHOP WITH A VIEW
Swap the conference room for a villa terrace, where fresh air and countryside views spark better ideas.
RENAISSANCE WALK IN FLORENCE
Explore the Duomo, Michelangelo’s David, and hidden piazzas with a local guide, then end the day with an aperitivo over the rooftops.
GELATO MAKING CLASS
Learn the secrets of real Italian gelato from a local gelataio, then taste your own creations – pistachio, stracciatella, or something completely new.
FRESH PASTA COOKING CLASS
Roll, cut, and shape pasta by hand with a local chef, then sit down together to eat what you made.
VESPA TOUR
Ride through the hills and stop in small villages for espresso, views, and photos.Expert Advice
A few things we’ve learned from planning retreats across Italy, so your team gets the best version of it.
DAILY RHYTHM
Leave Room for Slow Moments
⟶
Italy is not a place to rush. Packed agendas leave no time for long lunches, evening walks, or a second espresso in the piazza.
Expert Tip: Keep at least one afternoon free. Some of the best team conversations happen when nothing is planned.
ORGANISATION
Plan Around Italian Time
⟶
Lunch runs from about 1 to 3 pm, dinner rarely starts before 8 pm, and in small towns many shops close in the afternoon.
Expert Tip: Hold sessions in the morning, enjoy a long lunch, and plan activities for the late afternoon. Work with the local rhythm, not against it.
LOGISTICS
Think About Transfers
⟶
Coastal roads on the Amalfi Coast are narrow and busy, and many historic centres are closed to cars (ZTL zones).
Expert Tip: Travel by boat on the Amalfi Coast and Lake Como, and use minibuses instead of large coaches. We book all transfers in advance so nobody waits.

Bubbles, Bikes and Deep Work
Long, focused days of team sessions on a restored country estate, with coffee breaks in the sun and a glass of Franciacorta and a delicious Italian meal every evening.
