Surrounded by vineyards, historic villages, and sweeping countryside views, Retreat Monferrato feels like a true escape from the pace of everyday life (but is an easy one hour shuttle ride from Milan.) Sun-drenched terraces, thoughtfully restored interiors, and open-air spaces create the perfect backdrop for connection, movement, and rest.

The property offers an intimate, boutique setting designed for both comfort and experience, with beautifully curated common spaces, a pool overlooking the hills, and access to incredible local food and wine. Days can include movement sessions with panoramic views, long, leisurely meals, wine tastings, and slow afternoons exploring nearby villages or simply relaxing on the grounds.

Evenings unfold with golden light, shared meals, and that unmistakable Italian magic that makes everything feel just a little more meaningful.

This destination is ideal for hosts who want to offer a high-end, culturally rich retreat experience that feels both elevated and deeply relaxing.

APPLY  

We’re so excited you’re interested in hosting at Retreat Monferrato.

Our model is simple: you bring your community, and we handle the planning, logistics, and launch strategy that fills your retreat.

The process:
Once we receive your application, our team will review and provisionally accept strong-fit hosts.

The next step is launching your priority waitlist to your community to confirm demand for your selected dates. We provide everything you need for this step, including messaging, timelines, and support.

Important: Opening your waitlist kicks off a focused two-week launch window. During this time, you should plan for ~5 hours per week to follow up with potential guests and drive enrollment.

After this initial launch period, planning becomes much more hands-off for the host.
