Autumn Getaway

Get away from it all and book me-time in October at Spino Secco. When the days are still sunny and warm in Tuscany, the nights are fresh and foggy. In our stone arched communal space ‘Paradiso’ the long table is set, the candles are burning and the fire in our wood stove crackling. A perfect place to find yourself in good company.

What:
7-days/6-night all-inclusive getaway with a focus on local organic food and wine, foraging, preparing and feasting, yoga and morning swims, hiking and truffle hunting, roaming of markets and boating along the Cinque Terre coast.
Stay in private, luxury and spacious accommodations within the palazzo Spino Secco, located in the beautiful medieval village of Mulazzo in Tuscany, Italy.


Come alone or take a friend and make new friends. Enjoy a cheerful, unforgettable, relaxing week celebrating food, wine, and the Tuscan way of life.

Where:
Mulazzo is one of the most beautiful medieval villages in the Tuscan Magra Valley. Surrounded by chestnut groves on rolling hills and a view of the Apennine Mountains. One hour from Lucca, Genoa and Pisa, 35 mins from Cinque Terre and the beaches of Lerici.
