Start your day with gentle yoga by the pool as the Tuscan sun rises over the hills. Stretch, breathe, and prepare your body for the tennis session ahead.
Tuscan Breakfast
Fresh pastries, local cheeses, seasonal fruit, and strong Italian coffee overlooking the olive groves. Fuel up before your morning tennis session.

Built by Friends Who Love Tennis and Italy
Gintas and Francesco met on the courts at Fiesole Tennis Club, bonded over long Italian dinners, and dreamed up this retreat. Their vision: combine expert tennis coaching with the authentic warmth of an Italian family villa, cultural immersion, and the slow food philosophy they'd both fallen in love with in Tuscany.
From Dream to Reality
Two friends, one shared passion, and a vision to create something extraordinary in the heart of Tuscany.
The Beginning
Where it all started
It began with a simple conversation over coffee in Florence. Francesco, with his deep roots in Tuscan hospitality and love for the region's culture, met Gintas, a passionate tennis professional with years of coaching experience across Europe.
Both shared a vision: to create more than just a tennis retreat. They wanted to craft an experience that would combine world-class tennis instruction with the authentic beauty, wellness traditions, and culinary excellence that Tuscany is renowned for.
Francesco De Marco
Co-Founder & Cultural Director
The Expertise
Professional excellence
Gintas brings over 15 years of professional tennis coaching experience, having worked with players from recreational to competitive levels across Lithuania, Spain, and Italy. His approach combines technical precision with mental wellness, understanding that great tennis comes from both physical skill and inner balance.
Francesco's expertise lies in creating authentic Tuscan experiences. Born and raised in the region, he has spent years curating relationships with local artisans, chefs, and wellness practitioners to offer guests genuine connections to Tuscan culture and traditions.

Why Tuscany
The perfect setting
"We chose Tuscany not just for its breathtaking landscapes, but for its philosophy of life," explains Francesco. "Here, wellness isn't a trend—it's a way of being. The slower pace, the connection to nature, the emphasis on quality over quantity."
"The region's natural beauty provides the perfect backdrop for both intensive tennis training and deep relaxation. Our guests can push themselves on the court in the morning, then unwind with yoga among olive groves in the evening."
Gintas adds: "What makes our retreats special is the integration. We're not just offering tennis lessons and accommodation. We're creating a holistic experience where every element— from the morning meditation to the evening wine tasting—supports your overall well-being."
"This is our first retreat, but it represents years of planning, relationship-building, and dreaming. We're not just hosts—we're your guides to discovering a new way of experiencing both tennis and life."
