Ancora B&B is one of those places you almost hesitate to tell others about because it feels like a secret you want to keep. I brought a group of 15 women for a retreat and from the very first moment, it felt less like checking into a hotel and more like being welcomed into someone’s home.
Laura, the owner and heart of the property, sets the tone. She has that rare gift of making everyone immediately feel seen and cared for. In her presence, you don’t feel like a guest—you feel like family.
The setting itself is stunning. Mornings opened with yoga overlooking the hills, the kind of soft quiet that makes you breathe differently. Our days were filled with wine tours, slow meals, and the kind of conversations that seem to come naturally when the world around you is this beautiful.
And the food. I am still thinking about it. The flavors, the freshness, the way every meal felt both unfussy and completely special. There is a good chance you will wonder how to recreate every dish when you get home.
The views are postcard-perfect in every direction, but it’s the feeling of being held—by the space, by the hospitality, by the intention behind every detail—that sets Ancora apart.
If you are planning a retreat, a gathering, or even just a personal escape, this is the place. It exceeded every expectation and left each of us changed in the best possible way. We will be back.
I stayed during a retreat and had an incredible experience — the property is stunning, peaceful, and full of charm. Laura is one of the warmest, most welcoming hosts I’ve ever met, and she puts so much heart into everything she does. My room was cozy, the meals were wonderful, and the atmosphere was perfect for rest, reflection, and connection.
If you’re thinking about visiting or attending a retreat here, I highly recommend it. It’s a place that stays with you long after you leave.

A magical spot in the Tuscan countryside! The grounds are beautiful and the views are breathtaking. Laura is the heart of this B&B and she is what makes it so truly special- she is a warm, funny, vivacious host that makes everyone feel so taken care of. Also, the food was so delicious and almost everyone I went with left with a cookbook. Can’t recommend this place enough!

This was my first retreat and the location couldn’t have been better. Aside from the obvious beauty and location, the host was incredibly kind and welcoming. Laura was accommodating to all my dietary restrictions and food was delicious. With more variety than I’ve had in a long time. She was the best.
The Toscana Salt sold in the storefront is delicious by the way, I should’ve brought a big tub home.
The plumbing is great. Hot water was hot and we had good pressure the whole time. Would 100% recommend and come back again.

We are thrilled that your retreat at Ancora del Chianti Art & Yoga Retreat Center felt both delightful and relaxing.

A stunning location, close to Pisa airport, close to Florence and on the door step to wonderful vineyards and a beautiful town of Greve in Chianti - the Saturday market a must visit.
Sun rises and sun sets to enjoy, with Laura, who is the most wonderful host, who will do everything to ensure your stay is the best in every way.
My tip - try the wine, try all the food - everything is made with love and local produce, and be sure to enjoy the beautiful gardens.

Staying at Ancora del Chianti was an absolute joy, and it was such a pleasure to organise my yoga retreat there. The property is beautiful, surrounded by nature, peaceful, and full of charm.
We all came back with wonderful memories. The food was lovely, breakfasts and brunches were colourful, fresh, and delicious, and the three-course evening meals were different every night. We especially loved the “grandma’s recipe” cake - such a treat.
The yoga studio is perfect for practice, I had 12 guests plus myself, and it was just the right size for our group. Laura was incredibly helpful in arranging transport to and from the airport, as well as for our day excursions.
There are so many beautiful spaces to relax and plenty of lovely walks in the surrounding area, I t’s a truly special place, and Laura’s warmth and hospitality made our stay unforgettable.

Carissima Aneta,
it was truly a joy to welcome you and to see how Ancora del Chianti come alive through your retreat and your words now.
We are so happy that you felt the peace of the surrounding nature and the quiet charm of the house. Fall light in Chianti has something very special — soft, golden, grounding — and it creates the perfect atmosphere for deep practice and meaningful connection.
Knowing that the yoga studio felt just right for your group makes us particularly glad. The space was created to host intimate gatherings where everyone can feel comfortable, focused and supported, and it’s wonderful when it finds its natural rhythm with a group.
We also love that the meals became part of the experience: colourful breakfasts and brunches to start the day with energy, and relaxed dinners in the evening to gather and share. And yes… Torta della Nonna cake always finds a way into everyone’s heart.
Thank you for trusting us with your first retreat abroad and it is our precise commitment creating a smooth and welcoming environment where leaders can focus fully on their program, and guests to simply enjoy the journey.
The fact that you are returning in October 2026 is the most beautiful compliment we could receive. We are already looking forward to another week of inspiration, connection and unforgettable Tuscan charm together.
With deep gratitude and excitement for what’s to come,
Laura & Family

Every second of staying at Ancora del Chianti was like a dream! From Laura’s warm welcome, to Cesare’s charm, to Nonna waving to us from her second floor window - it was all magical.

Our stay at Anacora del Chianti B&B for part of our Wellness Adventure Retreat was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, the view alone was worth the journey—panoramic, peaceful, and utterly breathtaking.
From the moment we arrived, Laura, our host, made us feel completely at home. Her warmth, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the area added an authentic and personal touch that elevated the entire experience.
The food? Absolutely divine. Each meal was thoughtfully and expertly curated, tailored to fit every guest’s dietary needs without sacrificing taste or creativity. From vibrant plant-based dishes to local Tuscan specialties, every bite was a celebration of flavor and wellness.
If you're looking for a restorative escape surrounded by nature, delicious food, and heartfelt hospitality, Anacora del Chianti is the place to be. We left feeling nourished, inspired, and already planning our return.

Dear Jessica,
reading your words truly touched our hearts. Hosting you and your beautiful circle of women was such a joy for us. The atmosphere you created — full of curiosity, laughter, shared discoveries and genuine connection — blended so naturally with the spirit of Ancora del Chianti.
We are so happy that you felt the magic of this corner of Chianti, especially in those golden sunset moments you captured so perfectly. Those evenings, with the sky painted in warm colours and a glass of our organic Chianti Classico in hand, are exactly what make retreats here so special — unhurried, authentic, and deeply nourishing.
It was inspiring to see how the experiences of local visits, wine tastings and Tuscan flavours became not just activities, but shared memories that strengthened your group’s bond. Moments like these are the soul of what we love to host: meaningful gatherings where beauty, culture and heartfelt connection meet.
Thank you for choosing Ancora del Chianti as the home for your retreat and for sharing that stunning sunset with everyone.
We truly hope this was only the first of many chapters together.With affection and gratitude, Laura & Filippo

Knowing that the views, the peaceful atmosphere, and our Tuscan kitchen left such a warm impression truly means the world to us. We loved having your group here.

🤩 I could not have picked a more stunning location for a retreat. Everything was absolutely amazing. The service is wonderful, the rooms are beautiful, the host is the sweetest woman you will ever meet, and the food is incredible!
I will make my way back here because it was such a fantastic experience.
There are so many beautiful places to sit and enjoy the view. I recorded some of a music video here.
There are some aggressive mosquitoes so be prepared for that, but the host does have some insect repellent burners for dinner time which was helpful.
Absolutely amazing experience. I cannot brag enough. Check it out yourself!

We had amazing days in Tuscany and it felt so good to come back every night to the comfortable room and to enjoy breakfast with a view of the vineyards. It was a quiet paradise and we felt very relaxed. Laura is the most attentive and sweet host! Communication with her was very smooth. She even arranged a late check in for us and sent us videos to guide us through the place, as we arrived late.

The most stunning stay in the Tuscan countryside, not far from Florence. Laura is the most attentive and gracious host, and her home is beautiful.

Having returned recently from a seven-night art retreat at Ancora del Chianti, I am at a loss for words to express how remarkable the week was. The setting in the hills of Tuscany with its panoramic views of the mountains, wineries, olive trees, and castles beyond is breathtaking. The lovingly restored old farmhouse and its gardens and out buildings, one of which has been made into a multi-purpose art/yoga studio, are evocative of days gone by yet comfortable and serene. However, it is Laura Rontani and her family and staff who make this B&B so special, truly a "bit of heaven" away from daily life. Laura is warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help make your stay memorable in any way she can. She is knowledgeable, passionate about Ancora del Chianti, and glad to share all of the wonders that it has to offer from the homemade Tuscan meals to the beautiful gardens and the people. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to spend a week at Ancora del Chianti.
