Who Is This Retreat For?
Our retreats are for women who feel ready to pause and give themselves some space.
Maybe you’re going through a breakup, a major life change, or a difficult or uncertain period.
Maybe nothing is necessarily “wrong,” but you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to understand yourself on a deeper level.
Or maybe life has been moving so quickly that you haven’t had the time to stop and ask yourself what you actually need.
You don’t need to arrive with a specific goal, and you don’t need to be going through a crisis.
The retreat offers a supportive space where you can step away from your usual routine, look inward, connect with yourself, and move through your own personal and emotional process — with experienced hosts and a small group of women around you.
There is space here for reflection and emotion, but also for laughter, friendship, movement, good food, beautiful places, and simply enjoying life.
Come exactly as you are.

Discover Our Corner of Tuscany
Villa Belle Luci is located near Montecatini Terme, in the heart of Tuscany.
Known for its historic thermal springs, elegant gardens, charming streets, and relaxed Italian atmosphere, Montecatini Terme is perfectly positioned for discovering some of Tuscany’s most beautiful places.
Overlooking the town is Montecatini Alto, a picturesque medieval hilltop village with stone streets, local restaurants, lively little piazzas, and breathtaking views across the Tuscan landscape.
Villa Belle Luci sits at the foot of Montecatini Alto, surrounded by greenery and the rolling hills of Tuscany.
Here, mornings feel slower, meals last a little longer, and there is space to breathe, reconnect, and simply enjoy where you are.
Our Team
Producer
Hagar Salman
For over a decade, Hagar worked in sales, customer service, and reception management in the fitness industry, developing a deep understanding of people, hospitality, and what makes someone feel genuinely welcome.
Over the years, she also helped organize yoga, Pilates, and wellness retreats, bringing together two things she has always loved — working with people and creating beautiful experiences.
For as long as she can remember, Hagar dreamed of creating and running a small boutique hotel of her own.
Today, that dream has taken a new form at Villa Belle Luci.
Hagar brings together her experience in hospitality, sales, and customer care with her love for hosting and her attention to the little details that make an experience feel special.
Host
Anat Salman
Anat is a psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Expressive Arts Therapy and is a certified group host. She specializes in working with people experiencing crisis and trauma and is also trained in EMDR.
Over the years, she has expanded her approach through the study of Buddhist psychotherapy and Ayurvedic philosophy, exploring the connection between body, mind, and consciousness.
At Villa Belle Luci, Anat brings years of therapeutic experience into workshops designed to create space for reflection, emotional exploration, connection, and personal growth.
Her approach is warm, compassionate, and deeply human, allowing each woman to participate at her own pace and in the way that feels right for her.
Host
Nofit Golani
Nofit combines movement and body-based practices with a deep curiosity about the connection between body and mind.
Her journey began with yoga and later expanded into NLP, breathwork, cold exposure, and ice baths — practices that allowed her to explore how the body responds to stress and how those responses can influence our choices, habits, and everyday lives.
She gained practical experience assisting in an ice bath training course at the Wingate Institute and has continued to explore the relationship between physical experience, emotional awareness, and personal growth.
Nofit’s approach is rooted in listening to the body, staying curious, and gently exploring what we are capable of — even when something feels challenging.
Our Rooms
Our spacious and comfortable bedrooms are designed to feel like your own little home within the villa.
Each room has a private en-suite bathroom and opens onto a large balcony overlooking the villa’s yard.
After a day of workshops, movement, exploring Tuscany, and sharing experiences together, you’ll always have a peaceful space to slow down, rest, and recharge.
Our Story
A few years ago, our family decided to step away from the fast pace of everyday life and search for something different — more simplicity, more space, and a deeper connection to ourselves and the life around us.
That journey brought us to Tuscany, where we discovered a small town that offered everything we had been looking for and much more.
From the moment we first saw the villa, we knew there was something special about it.
We fell in love with the views, the peaceful surroundings, the energy of the house, and most of all, the feeling it gives to everyone who walks through its doors.
For years, we had dreamed of creating a small unique place where people could come and truly feel at home.
At the same time, Anat had spent years accompanying people through emotional and personal journeys.
Bringing together our love of hospitality with her passion for working with people felt completely natural.
And that is how Villa Belle Luci was born.
Today, the villa is much more than a place to stay.
It is a place to pause, to breathe, to reconnect with yourself, to meet wonderful people, and perhaps, to return home with something new.

I returned home after an incredible week at Villa Belle Luci, filled with wonderful experiences, delicious food, and amazing hosts who genuinely cared about making us feel happy and looked after.
We visited a beautiful local thermal spa, enjoyed yoga classes and inspiring workshops, and had plenty of time to take in the beauty of Tuscany.
The villa is spacious and beautiful, with large, comfortable rooms and well-equipped private bathrooms. I loved sitting on the terrace and taking in the Tuscan views.
I came home feeling refreshed and recharged — and already missing Villa Belle Luci and its wonderful hosts, Anat, Hagar, and Tamar.
I know I’ll be back.

The retreat was an unforgettable experience. I loved the warm, home-like atmosphere, together with the yoga sessions and workshops focused on personal growth and empowerment.
The experience helped me recognize both my strengths and some of the challenges in my life, while giving me new insights into how I can approach them in a way that feels right for me.
Liat D.
I had the most wonderful experience at a week-long women’s retreat in a beautiful and enchanting villa in Tuscany.
The workshops led by Anat Salman gave me the opportunity to pause, look inward, learn more about myself, and let go of things that no longer serve me.
Our mornings included beautiful walks surrounded by Tuscan scenery and yoga sessions with Nofit Golani that helped me stretch, build strength, reconnect with my body, and fall in love with yoga all over again.
The food was delicious, authentic Italian cuisine, and throughout the week we enjoyed thermal baths, beautiful villages, and leisurely walks through the local piazza.
It was the perfect combination of rest, renewal, learning, movement, laughter, and friendship.
I truly believe every woman deserves the chance to step away from everyday life, recharge, and give herself an experience like this.
