Your Home in Livorno

Retreat guests stay in historic, artist-run accommodations in Livorno's ancient San Giovanni district — near the Old Fortress and the Old Dock, in the heart of the city.

Cozy Livorno-style interior

Casa Julka

Known as the "House of Women and Art," Casa Julka is dedicated to women artists, dancers, musicians, and photographers. Original furnishings and personal styling throughout, in the San Giovanni district between La Venezia and the Old Dock, with views of the Old Fortress ramparts.

Historic Italian hilltown at dusk

Casa Lo Scoglio della Ballerina

Named for an ancient Livorno legend, this residence has welcomed artists, travellers, and wayfarers for years. Also in the historic San Giovanni district, near the port and the Old Fortress.

Italian coastal town at sunset

Ash's Cottage

On the coast in the Antignano district, near Montenero, within walking distance of Spiaggia del Sale beach — home to outdoor sunset dances and meditations along Viale d'Antignano.

The Neighborhood

Ancient streets, real Livorno

All three properties sit in or near San Giovanni, Livorno's ancient center — walkable to city services, local events, and the coastline. This is not a resort compound; it's a real neighborhood, with the city's daily life happening around you.
