Best team retreat activities in Tuscany, Italy

Published:
February 24, 2024

Team retreat in Tuscany is an ideal decision for small or midsize distributed teams that want to experience something unique. If you choose Tuscany as your company retreat destination you will give your coworkers an exceptional off-the-beaten-path experience of one of Italy’s most beautiful regions.

Staying in gorgeous historic villas in the Tuscan countryside, and still being a short drive away from Florence, Pisa, or Volterra will allow you to have cultural team activities one day and Dolce Vita experiences the other. While Firenze (Italian for Florence) and Pisa are highly visited places with fantastic tourist attractions like Leaning Tower, Firenze Duomo, Gallery Uffizi, and Ponte Vecchio, a picturesque city like Volterra will allow you to see real Tuscany with all of its beauty.

La dolce vita is a concept of a happy life that translates to a sweet life. It is not just a cliché, Italians swear by it and tend to live their lives as enjoyable as possible. Your team will benefit from learning this concept of laid-back and relaxed living, where priorities are good work-life balance and good relationships.

Tuscany boasts opportunities for memorable team bonding activities. From wine tasting to outdoor pursuits, and exploration of charming towns, no wonder why the Tuscan countryside is on top of our list for European team retreats.
