Lucca Writers' Retreat
5 Nights of Writing, Reflection & Creative Exchange
Renowned for its vibrant artistic community, Lucca’s storied walls set the stage for a retreat that blends dedicated writing time with cultural immersion. Writers enjoy daily guided sessions, quiet hours for solo work, and evenings sharing words over Tuscan dinners. Between pages, the city itself inspires: Puccini’s legacy, hidden gardens, and cobbled piazzas that invite reflection and creativity.
Day 1 – Arrival in Lucca
Private transfer from Pisa or Florence Airport to your boutique villa inside Lucca’s historic walls. Settle in with a welcome aperitivo, then ease into the retreat with an intimate dinner where introductions spark the week ahead.
Day 2 – Writing Foundations & Exploration
Morning guided writing session in the villa’s salon. Afternoon free for solo work or wandering — a walk along Lucca’s Renaissance walls, journaling in a café, or quiet reflection in a garden. Group dinner with an optional evening sharing circle.
Day 3 – Countryside Inspiration
Excursion into the Garfagnana countryside for a day of writing and reflection in nature. Picnic lunch among vineyards and hills. Evening return to Lucca for a relaxed trattoria dinner.
Day 4 – Culture & Creativity
Morning workshop with generative prompts and peer discussion. Afternoon guided walk through Lucca’s gardens and medieval streets. Evening Puccini concert (optional), followed by wine and conversation.
Day 5 – Integration & Sharing
A final deep-dive writing session with time to refine your work. Afternoon at leisure — write, rest, or wander Lucca’s piazzas. Farewell dinner with celebratory readings for those who wish to share.
Day 6 – Departure
Closing reflections over coffee and breakfast. Private transfers to Pisa or Florence Airport.
