Unsettled: Tuscany
Creative exploration | Family style | Sensory experienceWelcome to Tuscany. Your Journey Begins Now.
Slow down. Take a step back. Let your senses lead the way through eating, conversing, creating, laughing and learning in the heart of Tuscany. This intimately crafted retreat is for those seeking a more connected and communal setting, while staying productive amidst a stunning landscape that boasts nearly 100 acres of olives, wild oleander and cypress.
We’ve chosen the villa of our dreams to live in and work from, perfectly tucked away in the Tuscan countryside. It’s remote, but not too remote – equidistant between Pisa and Florence. Dating back to the 1300s, the estate was once a local monastery, where the three story main house was originally occupied by monks and designed for social gatherings. The pool is set amongst the trees with a great lawn for picnics and yoga, and a stunning view of the rolling hills and vineyards in the distance.

Unsettled: Tuscany Highlights
Unsettled: Tuscany is a uniquely co-created experience dedicated to connecting us to each other and the rituals and traditions that define the fundamentals in life -great conversation, food, farming, nature, and wine. We believe in engaging with the creative process that goes into the things we consume. Learn how to make pastas and hand-pressed olive oils before we sit down to a family-style feast. Explore viticulture and regional wines before we make heartfelt toasts. We will dig deep, and get our hands dirty.
WORKABILITY
You’ll have wifi and space to work in each villa, but don’t expect rocket-fast speeds. Enjoy a slower pace for a change.
ADVENTURE
Winding country trails for strolling, biking, or going on a private Vespa adventure. We’re just an hour from the Tyrrhenian Sea and Florence.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Peer-to-peer workshops. Family-style dinners. Curated local experiences in the Tuscan countryside. Lots to explore and learn.
LIFESTYLE
Idyllic, rustic country-living. Great food, wine, art, conversations, and the time to create – in whatever sense that means for you.
CULTURE
Explore Tuscan traditions, or head an hour north to immerse yourself in the Renaissance art, architecture, and bustling cafes and gastronomy of Florence.
The Unsettled trip ranks on the best trips I’ve ever taken (and I’ve been to 75 countries). Great organization and curation with the ability to take a bit of a leadership role in the activities. All in all it is hard to find a better group and trip.
Andrew HydeI was able to run my business smoothly from a different hemisphere, make life-long connections with people from around the globe, and return home with an incredible sense of purpose and focus.
