Lake Garda retreat May 2023

Benvenuto to a New You... 

You stand at the water’s edge, gentle waves are lapping on the jetty, and the smell of pine trees fills the spring air. You stand for a while, feeling the warm sun on your skin. You close your eyes and breathe.

 

You’re free at last; calm but excited about your future.

 

In the clear water of the lake, you catch a glimpse of your reflection. Is that really you? You seem so different, and yet you’ve only been here a few days. How those days have changed you….. Italy has changed you.

 

You’re more confident in how you look now, proud of your curves. You’re enjoying food without guilt and making plans for your future. This lifestyle agrees with you, and you feel beautiful.

 

And, as the sun goes down, the evening begins. You savour your evening passeggiata from the beach to the old town, with its ancient bell tower and boutique shops; you’re mindful of everything around you now. Life is slower; there is so much more time to enjoy living. They call it La Dolce far Niente, the sweetness of doing nothing.

 

You sit for a while watching the locals partake in their evening ritual; the passeggiata is for everyone, young and old. Dressed to impress, the Italians come to chat, find love, give comfort and be together, and that is what you must do now.

 

The pizzeria is buzzing with excited voices and animated conversation. You’ve come together with newfound friends to eat, laugh and talk about your day. There’s no ceremony, no talk of work, just genuine love and friendship for the people that surround you. This is how Italians live, with excitement and joy for everything - food, life, love. You sit back for a moment and wonder if you’re dreaming…..you’re not.

 

This truly is La Dolce Vita, and it’s seeping into your bones.
