Datu Wellness offers a rare combination: authentic Ayurveda and Eastern healing traditions delivered by expert practitioners from Asia, set within a beautifully restored medieval Tuscan borgo. This provides a European option for travellers seeking a high-quality Ayurveda and yoga retreat without travelling to Asia. The intimate boutique scale ensures personalised attention, genuine care and a truly transformative experience.

The closest major airports are Florence (Firenze) and Pisa. Drive time is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes from Florence airport to the borgo at Rapolano Terme in Siena Province. Private transfers can be arranged. We recommend hiring a car if you wish to explore the surrounding Tuscan countryside during your stay.

Accommodation is within the restored Tuscan borgo, offering traditional rooms in Classic, Superior and Suite categories. Each room features a private bathroom and rustic-charm setting with local stone, timber and artisan furnishings. While luxurious, the setting leans more rustic and boutique rather than ultra-resort — it is a place designed for genuine restoration and connection with the land.

The wellness programme includes Ayurvedic therapies such as Abhyanga (full-body oil massage) and Shirodhara (warm oil poured over the forehead), as well as Tibetan medicine (Sowa Rigpa), shiatsu, acupuncture, and sound healing. Daily yoga, pranayama and meditation sessions complement the treatments. Each programme is tailored to your individual needs following a pre-arrival consultation and on-site assessment.

Full board meals are aligned with your wellness programme, featuring locally-sourced Tuscan produce prepared in an Ayurvedic/sattvic style — a beautiful fusion of Italian and Ayurvedic culinary principles. The cuisine is nourishing, seasonal and designed to support your healing journey. Dietary requirements and preferences are accommodated with care.

No prior experience is needed. The programmes are personalised to your individual level and needs. Whether you are new to Ayurveda and yoga or have an established practice, the expert practitioners will tailor sessions to support your unique journey. The pre-arrival wellness consultation ensures your programme is perfectly suited to you from day one.

We recommend a minimum stay of 7 nights to fully immerse in the wellness programme and allow the Ayurvedic therapies to take meaningful effect. The signature 7-Night Authentic Ayurveda Wellbeing Retreat is the most popular programme. Longer stays allow deeper transformation, though shorter programmes can also be arranged depending on the retreat schedule.

Pack comfortable clothing for yoga and movement sessions, walking shoes for nature hikes in the Tuscan countryside, swimwear for the pool, and light layers for cooler evenings. The retreat provides yoga mats, towels and wellness amenities. Casual, comfortable attire is appropriate throughout your stay — the atmosphere is relaxed and focused on restoration.

Beyond the core wellness programme, guests can enjoy nature walks and hikes through the Tuscan countryside, use of the communal pool, and proximity to nearby thermal springs. Depending on the programme, additional elements such as art therapy, sound healing and cooking classes may feature in the schedule. The historic town of Siena and the wider Tuscan region offer rich cultural excursions for those who wish to explore.
