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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
