Perugia, Italy: July 14-19, 2026
A Taylormade Barre & Pilates retreat!
6 days, 5 nights at a beautiful, peaceful place in nature. Our retreat venue is only 10 km from the town of Todi, a picturesque medieval Italian town renown for its food, truffles and wine.
If you’re looking for an active summer getaway, combining movement with exploration of the local region… this is it! We'll enjoy 2-3 fitness classes per day along with walks in the local area, visits to nearby towns, the possibility to sample local wines, and plenty of time to rest and relax by the pool or in the olive trees!
Workouts in a stunning space…
Our wooden outdoor workout space is surrounded by trees and birdsong. We’ll be doing most of our classes here, but a few will also take place indoors and by the pool.
Cozy accommodations surrounded by nature…
There are 7 bedrooms at Tara with 5 hallway shared bathrooms. I am opening just 9 participant spots for this retreat - so we will be in a group of a max of 10, including me!
A barre and Pilates instructor, originally from Arizona but now based in Amsterdam. Taylor teaches a variety of high-energy classes which are beat-based, movement-focused, and centered on the perfect combo of fun plus results!
I heard Italy is too hot in the summer. Is this true for Tara Nature Retreat?
We are almost 5 deg C cooler than the Italian cities like Rome. We are 400 m above sea level, on a breezy hill, immersed in an oak forest, and have a deep swimming pool to cool off in. In fact, Romans have been coming to the hills of Umbria for decades to cool off from the cities, and also to avoid the crowded beaches.
