Summit & Stillness
Effort in the mountains. Recovery on either side of them.
The week opens in Verona, where nothing is asked of you but an aperitivo at golden hour. From there the group moves into Alta Badia and settles into a private chalet in La Valle for five nights, high enough that the days shape themselves around the light and the weather.
Guided hiking days alternate with full rest days built around the spa. That rhythm is the point: the mountains take something out of you, and the itinerary is designed to give it back before it is asked for again.
The descent ends in Venice for a final night near San Marco and a farewell dinner, the last of a week of meals meant to be lingered over.
Three places, one continuous week.
Arrival, and permission to do nothing
A private transfer from Venice airport, an unstructured afternoon to recover from the flight, then aperitivo at golden hour near Piazza delle Erbe and an easy dinner close by. One night.
Five nights in a private chalet, La Valle
Curated guided hiking days through the Dolomites, matched with full rest days built around spa access and unhurried afternoons. A private chef dinner at the chalet marks the middle of the week.

Claudia Cometa, PharmD
Claudia is a doctor of pharmacy who spent a decade inside the healthcare system before building a concierge practice around what it could not offer: an advocate whose only interest is the patient's. Avanti Health Consultants advises individuals and their families on the decisions that matter most, from second opinions to complex care coordination.
That is what separates this from a well-appointed hiking trip. The week is structured by someone who thinks about physiology, recovery, and load for a living, and who travels with the group for all eight days.
Guests from Tuscany, in their own words.
Claudia's Italy Wellness Retreat was nothing short of life-changing... Claudia curated experiences I never would have thought to plan for myself: a vintage Fiat tour of Rome, an outdoor villa massage, a cooking class with a breathtaking 360-degree view of Florence, wine tasting, and a stunning villa home base filled with delicious, wholesome, homemade meals. Every detail was taken care of so I could be completely carefree... If you're craving a reset that goes far beyond a typical vacation, allow yourself to be swept away and immerse yourself in the beautiful, flowing experience of Claudia's Italy Wellness Retreat. The experience will be life-changing.
The wellness retreat was fantastic. I have learned to relax and enjoy life... My eating habits have changed. The flavors of some of these foods that were prepared for us... opened my tastebuds to natural being more delicious... The excursions that you planned, best one was the Fiat tour, were absolutely brilliant. I would trust and follow you anywhere... Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity.
