class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>October is the month Tuscany&#8217;s most important annual event begins.<\/strong> The olive harvest \u2014 the activity that has shaped the landscape and the culture of the region for three thousand years \u2014 starts in the warmest lowland groves in October and continues through November in the cooler mountain areas. The Frantoio, Leccino, and Moraiolo olives of the Chianti, the Lucca hills, and the Maremma are picked by hand or with mechanical rakes into nets spread under the trees, and the oil pressed within hours of picking produces the new-season olio nuovo \u2014 bright green, intensely peppery, and with a flavour intensity that the same oil six months later cannot preserve.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The <strong>olio nuovo experience<\/strong> at a Tuscan retreat kitchen in October is one of the most specific food moments Italy produces: the oil pressed the previous day, still cloudy with olive particles, drizzled over fresh unsalted Tuscan bread (the pane sciocco that exists specifically to carry the flavour of the oil rather than competing with it) with coarse salt. This is the October Tuscan wellness table at its most essential and most irreproducible.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Beyond the harvest, <strong>October Tuscany<\/strong> has the Val d&#8217;Orcia in its golden autumn form \u2014 the wheat fields turned golden-stubbled, the thermal springs of Saturnia and Bagno Vignoni now surrounded by the autumn landscape \u2014 and the wine estates completing their harvest and beginning the cellar work of the new vintage.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Piedmont: White Truffle at Peak<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>October is the peak month of the Piedmont white truffle season.<\/strong> The specimens that the September rains and the October temperatures produce are larger, more complex in aroma, and more consistently of the quality that the Alba fair celebrates. The <strong>Fiera del Tartufo Bianco di Alba<\/strong> \u2014 the international white truffle fair, running every weekend of October and November \u2014 is the most important food event in Italy and one of the most specific seasonal celebrations in Europe: the truffle auction on opening weekend, the truffle market in the historic centre, and the dinners at the starred restaurants of Alba and the Langhe serving the white truffle in its October form.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The <strong>morning mist of the Langhe<\/strong> in October \u2014 the nebbia that the Nebbiolo grape is named for \u2014 settles in the valleys below the vine-covered hills and burns off by mid-morning, producing a quality of October light and atmosphere that the Barolo and Barbaresco winegrowing area has in this month and no other. The retreat programme in October Piedmont that incorporates a truffle hunt at dawn, a Barolo tasting at the estate where the grapes were harvested the previous month, and a dinner with white truffle shaved at the table is the most concentrated expression of Piedmontese food culture available at any time of year.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Umbria: The Black Truffle Returns and the Harvest Table<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Umbria in October<\/strong> is the region at its autumn depth. The black truffle of Norcia \u2014 the scorzone variety, different from the winter black truffle but with a robust flavour that the October temperature makes specifically good \u2014 appears at the weekly markets of Spoleto and Norcia in October alongside the first porcini of the season from the Sibillini mountain forests. The olive harvest on the Umbrian hills begins in mid-October, and the new-season Umbrian oil \u2014 more delicate and more grassy in character than the Tuscan version \u2014 appears at the farm gates and the weekend markets from late October.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The <strong>spa and thermal offer of Umbria<\/strong> \u2014 the Terme di Fontecchio, the thermal facilities near Spoleto \u2014 is in October at its most comfortable combination of water temperature and air temperature: the autumn air at 14-18\u00b0C and the water at 38\u00b0C produce the most pleasurable version of the outdoor thermal experience, the contrast present but not dramatic, and the autumn landscape surrounding the pools at its most colourful.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">The Dolomites: First Snow and Autumn Colour<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>The Dolomites in October<\/strong> are in transition between the summer and winter seasons \u2014 a specific October character that neither July nor January can produce. The high peaks receive the first snowfall of the season in October, the mountain meadows turn amber and russet, and the larch forests of the Val di Funes and the Alpe di Siusi produce the autumn colour that photographers specifically come to the Dolomites in October to find.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The <strong>spa and wellness facilities<\/strong> are in October beginning their transition from the summer outdoor movement programme to the winter thermal focus. Both are available in October \u2014 the hiking on the lower trails (the high passes closing progressively as the snow settles), the thermal pools in full operation, and the hay bath treatments using the dried herbs from the July harvest now at their first use. October in the Dolomites has the specific quality of a place between seasons, with the best of both available simultaneously.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a427a8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8a427a8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-497a5276 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"497a5276\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/engjell-gjepali-M0OIyN5u8ZM-unsplash-2-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-26917\" alt=\"views of hills in Tuscany, perfect region for a wellness retreat in italy in october\" srcset=\"https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/engjell-gjepali-M0OIyN5u8ZM-unsplash-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/engjell-gjepali-M0OIyN5u8ZM-unsplash-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/engjell-gjepali-M0OIyN5u8ZM-unsplash-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/engjell-gjepali-M0OIyN5u8ZM-unsplash-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/engjell-gjepali-M0OIyN5u8ZM-unsplash-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/engjell-gjepali-M0OIyN5u8ZM-unsplash-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/engjell-gjepali-M0OIyN5u8ZM-unsplash-2-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29a97897 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"29a97897\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to Do on a Wellness Retreat in Italy in October\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-527f3e03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"527f3e03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Olive Pressing: The October Mill<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>The olive press (frantoio)<\/strong> in October runs from the first light. The olives arrive from the groves by tractor and are processed through the pressing cycle \u2014 washing, crushing, malaxation, centrifugal separation \u2014 within hours of picking, and the oil that emerges from the centrifuge is the new-season oil at the moment of its maximum freshness. Visiting the frantoio during pressing, watching the process, and tasting the new oil directly from the centrifuge output \u2014 intensely green, herbaceous, peppery to the point of coughing on the first sip \u2014 is the October food experience that most directly connects the retreat guest to the agricultural foundation of Italian food culture.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Truffle Hunt and Market<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>The October truffle hunt<\/strong> with a certified trifolao in Piedmont or Umbria is the most sought-after guided activity in Italian food travel. The dog moves ahead through the oak and hazel undergrowth, stops, begins pawing at the soil, and the trifolao excavates the truffle with a short-handled spade \u2014 careful not to damage the mycelial network that will produce next year&#8217;s specimens. The October truffle in Piedmont is the white (tuber magnatum pico); in Umbria the black scorzone (tuber aestivum). Different in character, both specifically of this month and this landscape.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Thermal Bathing in the Autumn Landscape<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>The October thermal bath experience<\/strong> across Tuscany and Umbria is the year&#8217;s most photogenic wellness activity. The outdoor pools at Saturnia and Bagno Vignoni surrounded by the autumn landscape \u2014 the trees turning, the October light warming everything to amber \u2014 produce the version of the outdoor thermal experience that appears most frequently in Italian wellness publications. The water at 37-40\u00b0C against 14-16\u00b0C October air is the contrast that the winter months push further toward dramatic and the summer months eliminate entirely.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Autumn Forest Bathing<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Shinrin-yoku<\/strong> \u2014 the Japanese practice of forest bathing, now extensively researched for its <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25903026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">effects on cortisol levels and immune function<\/a> \u2014 finds its most specific Italian October expression in the chestnut forests of the Apennines and the larch forests of the Dolomites. The specific compounds (phytoncides \u2014 volatile terpenes released by conifers and deciduous trees) that the research associates with the physiological benefits of forest immersion are at their October peak as the trees prepare for winter dormancy. A guided forest bathing session in the October larch forest above Ortisei or in the chestnut woods of the Casentino is the October outdoor wellness activity that the Italian mountain landscape provides naturally and that the programme needs only to organise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a6a8737 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5a6a8737\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ab0f5ca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3ab0f5ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-587c0030 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"587c0030\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a23c7f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a23c7f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to Eat on a Wellness Retreat in Italy in October\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a000e89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a000e89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Olio Nuovo<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>The new-season olive oil<\/strong> is the October food experience that defines the Italian autumn table. Pressed from the olives harvested the previous day or week, the olio nuovo is available at the farm gates and frantoio direct sales from mid-October. The window in which it is available in its truest form is narrow \u2014 six to eight weeks before it begins to settle and clarify and the most volatile aromatic compounds begin to dissipate. Drizzled over the white bean soup (fagioli all&#8217;uccelletto) of the Florentine tradition, over the bruschetta of Umbria, or over the ribollita of the Chianti farmhouses: the October olive oil is the ingredient that communicates the Italian food year at its most essential moment.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Tartufo Bianco di Alba<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>The white truffle of Alba<\/strong> in October is the most intensely aromatic food ingredient produced in Italy and one of the most expensive per gram of any food product in the world. The October specimens reach sizes (150-400 grams for the finest) that the September and November truffles rarely approach, and the combination of size, freshness, and the October temperature produces the aroma (the specific combination of dimethyl sulphide and bis(methylthio)methane that the olfactory system processes as intensely earthy, slightly garlicky, and completely unlike anything else) at its annual peak. At a retreat kitchen in the Langhe in October with a proper white truffle budget, the simple preparations \u2014 fresh pasta with butter and truffle, fried egg with truffle \u2014 are the correct approach.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Castagne<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Chestnuts<\/strong> from the Apennine forests \u2014 the Castagna del Monte Amiata IGP from the Tuscany-Lazio border, the Marrone di Castel del Rio IGP from the Bologna Apennines, and the Castagna di Montella IGP from the Campanian highlands \u2014 are at their October peak. Roasted over charcoal at the street stalls of Florence, Bologna, and the Apennine towns, or used in the traditional preparations of the Italian mountain cuisine (the chestnut flour pasta of the Lunigiana, the castagnaccio of Tuscany, the necci of the Pistoia Apennines), chestnuts are the October ingredient that the Italian mountain food tradition has always used and that the modern wellness kitchen is rediscovering for their specific nutritional profile \u2014 high in complex carbohydrates, low in fat, rich in B vitamins and potassium.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Cachi<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Persimmons<\/strong> (cachi) from the October orchards of Campania, Lazio, and the Po Valley are at their October ripeness \u2014 the large, orange fruit eaten fully soft from the tree (the hachiya type, eaten when completely ripe and almost jammy) or firm from the fridge (the fuyu type, crisp and sweet). At the agriturismo table in October Tuscany or Campania, a bowl of ripe persimmons alongside the new-season walnuts and the fresh sheep&#8217;s cheese is the autumn dessert that the season provides without effort and that no concept kitchen has improved on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15095f19 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"15095f19\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13df7765 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"13df7765\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/anders-jilden-cYrMQA7a3Wc-unsplash-6.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-26921\" alt=\"cinque terre views in october, italy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/anders-jilden-cYrMQA7a3Wc-unsplash-6.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/anders-jilden-cYrMQA7a3Wc-unsplash-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/anders-jilden-cYrMQA7a3Wc-unsplash-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/anders-jilden-cYrMQA7a3Wc-unsplash-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/anders-jilden-cYrMQA7a3Wc-unsplash-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/anders-jilden-cYrMQA7a3Wc-unsplash-6-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/anders-jilden-cYrMQA7a3Wc-unsplash-6-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34d3559 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"34d3559\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f3cd3b0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4f3cd3b0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bb459d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6bb459d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/giuseppe-mondi-fJWYwHWYQpY-unsplash-5-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-26918\" alt=\"umbria, italy, views of the countryside in october\" srcset=\"https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/giuseppe-mondi-fJWYwHWYQpY-unsplash-5-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/giuseppe-mondi-fJWYwHWYQpY-unsplash-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/giuseppe-mondi-fJWYwHWYQpY-unsplash-5-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/giuseppe-mondi-fJWYwHWYQpY-unsplash-5-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/giuseppe-mondi-fJWYwHWYQpY-unsplash-5-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/giuseppe-mondi-fJWYwHWYQpY-unsplash-5-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/om-away.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/giuseppe-mondi-fJWYwHWYQpY-unsplash-5-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74cbca62 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"74cbca62\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67cdfbbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"67cdfbbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Events and What is Happening in Italy in October\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cdb895 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6cdb895\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Fiera del Tartufo Bianco di Alba<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Every weekend of October and November<\/strong> in Alba.

Morning practice at 8am \u2014 slightly later than summer as the days shorten \u2014 in the October light that is lower and warmer in tone than the overhead summer sun. The afternoon excursions that are specifically seasonal: the olive press visit in Tuscany, the truffle hunt in Piedmont, the Umbrian porcini forage, the larch forest walk in the Dolomites.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Evening practice<\/strong> in October benefits from the temperature drop that the shorter days produce.

September has the warmer sea and the harvest at its first energy. October has the olive harvest beginning, the white truffle at peak, the golden autumn light, and the lowest prices of the good-weather season. For swimming, September. For the food culture and the autumn landscape, October.<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Is the white truffle worth the expense of an October Piedmont retreat?<\/strong> Yes, for those who prioritise food as central to the retreat experience. The white truffle is the most intensely flavoured natural food ingredient produced in Italy, and October in the Langhe \u2014 with the truffle hunt, the fair, the Barolo harvest, and the morning mist \u2014 is the most concentrated expression of the Piedmontese food culture available at any time of year. The retreat that centres the week around this is not adding a luxury to the programme but making the food culture the programme.<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Is the Dolomites autumn colour reliable in October?<\/strong> The larch forests of the Val di Funes, the Alpe di Siusi, and the Pragser Wildsee area typically peak in the second and third weeks of October. The timing depends on the year&#8217;s temperatures \u2014 a warm October delays the colour, a cold September accelerates it. Check with your retreat centre for current-year conditions. The colour, when it coincides with good weather, is among the most dramatic autumn landscapes in Europe.<\/li><li class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Is the olive harvest experience worth timing a retreat around?<\/strong> Yes, specifically in October and November. The harvest is not a scheduled event but an ongoing agricultural process \u2014 the nets spread under the trees, the presses running at the frantoio, and the new oil available at the farm gate. Retreat centres in Tuscany, Umbria, and Puglia that incorporate a harvest morning produce an experience that requires this season and this landscape specifically.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c071e2f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c071e2f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84bb1e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"84bb1e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FAQs: wellness retreats i italy- october<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45b006f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"45b006f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>1.
