Location
Welcome to Le Marche, Italy
The Respiro Italia retreat is located the LeMarche region of Italy along the eastern seaboard of the Adriatic Sea. Offering expansive views and deep tranquility. A place of medieval hill towns unchanged by time, vineyard-lined mountains tended by the same families for generations, and 170 kilometers of crystal-clear coastline so untouched you’ll forget what a crowded beach ever felt like.
This is Italy beyond the filters and the frenzy. Where espresso is never rushed, conversations linger, and strangers often become guests at the table.
While others wait in line for gelato, you’ll be discovering something rarer—Italy as it truly is, without the crowds.
Welcome to the best of Italy, all in one region.
Welcome to Respiro Italia Luxury Retreats — Just be. Just breathe.
Guided by renowned wellness expert Karen LaFond, you’ll explore powerful longevity rituals while immersing yourself in the beauty and stillness of nature. This is more than a retreat—it’s a reclamation. A rebirth of energy, purpose, and possibility. Welcome to your personal renaissance.
What Makes Respiro Italia Different
This retreat is more than a pause—it’s a homecoming. A gentle, powerful return to the woman you were always meant to be. For those who feel the weight of the world pressing in, who crave space to breathe, to feel, to simply be—this is your sanctuary. A place to quiet the noise, awaken your inner light, and rediscover the wisdom woven into your very being. Here, you’ll be held, renewed, and reminded of your strength. The journey back to you begins now.
The Feeling and Intention
Best described as a luxury wellness retreat withthe soul of an Italian summer.Respiro Italia is an intimate, small-group experience designed around gathering, community, movement, breath, creativity, and deep restoration—set within the magic of authentic Italian regions.
Each retreat follows a thoughtfully curated rhythm, balancing structured wellness practices with spacious time to fully experience Italy. Expect morning movement and breathwork, leisurely afternoons, visits to charming towns, local markets, unforgettable meals, and beautifully planned group experiences that invite both connection and presence.
Often held in late spring and early fall, our retreats offer the best of Italy—sun-warmed days by the pool, cool evenings perfect for sweaters and candlelit dinners, and the gift of traveling just outside peak season, when the landscape is quieter and the experience feels more intimate.
