Italy Retreat Welcome Kit + Exclusive Access

🇮🇹 ITALY IS CALLING… BUT NOT THE ITALY YOU THINK YOU KNOW ✨

This isn't a tourist trip. This is your invitation into the heart of Southern Italy, where my family lives and where life still moves to the rhythm of long lunches and evening passeggiatas.

This is an experience of Italy like a local.

A chance to breathe deeper, slow down, and savor every bite, every view, every connection.

We’re not rushing from one site to the next, checking off a tourist list. Nope.

We’re wandering through hilly villages, getting lost in winding streets, lounging by the Tyrrhenian Sea, and sharing those unforgettable late-night conversations over wine that flows like poetry.

You’ll be traveling with your Gals That Brunch sisters—new friends, old souls, adventure buddies, besties you haven’t met yet.

And the best part? Tiff is taking you home. To her village. To the places and people who shaped her love for Italy. You’ll meet her friends, her family, and experience Southern Italy from the inside out.

This is Italy beyond the postcards.

It’s about trusting the process and letting Italy work its magic on you. ✨

🌍 WHERE WE’RE GOING – YOUR ITALIAN JOURNEY

Every detail is handled - from private chauffeurs throughout (our biggest splurge to make your journey seamless) to curated experiences you couldn't book on your own

🏙 1 Night in Naples – A city bursting with energy, history, and the best pizza of your life.

🏡 5 Nights in Santa Maria del Cedro – Our home base, a dreamy village tucked between the mountains and the sea. A place where time slows down, espresso is an art form, and strangers become family.

🌊 1 Nights in Tropea – The Amalfi Coast’s lesser-known (but even more stunning) little sister. Turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and seafood that ruins you for life.

✨ Prepare for walking! We’ll be exploring hilly, cobblestone-lined villages—but the views? So worth it.

🍷 WHAT’S INCLUDED – BECAUSE YOU DESERVE TO BE SPOILED

Some special Italian-inspired surprises in your welcome package (we're keeping these under wraps - past guests tell us the surprise was half the fun!)

This is Italy beyond the postcards. Beyond the tourist traps. Beyond what you could plan on your own. This is the Italy where a 15-minute drive takes you from mountain forests to crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. Where world-class chefs share their secrets in centuries-old kitchens. Where every meal is an event and every moment tells a story.
