Italy · 2026 — 2027
Swim, wellness &
agriturismo in Italy.
A 7 night retreat from Rome to Umbria - and on to the Tuscan sea. Wild swims, vineyard lunches, candlelit castles.
The invitation
More than a holiday. An immersion.
Join TriSwim for a transformative retreat that blends wild swims, mindful movement and authentic Italian culture. We journey from the timeless streets of Rome to the rolling hills of Umbria, where lakes, vineyards and medieval villages set the stage.
Swim in lakes. Explore waterfalls. Savour vineyards. Hike to mountain sunsets. Share candlelit dinners in castles. Because this is more than travel, it's a celebration of water, culture and community.

Who it's for
Come as you are.
Leave nourished.
You don't need to be an athlete or experienced swimmer. Whether you're dipping into open water for the first time, walking peaceful trails, or simply drawn to long lunches under olive trees, this is for you.
Rooted in the Italian tradition of agriturismo, farm-based hospitality focused on simplicity, sustainability and seasonal living. Every experience is adaptable. Join every swim, or none. Stretch, float, hike, rest, all at your own pace.
You'll be supported by Laura and Cris, and surrounded by a like-minded group who value soul over speed and presence over perfection.
Day by day
The rhythm of the retreat
- 01Rome Fiumicino → Rieti
Arrival, Pool Time & Intention Setting
We collect you from Rome airport and head directly to Rieti. Settle into the hotel, relax by the pool, then join an afternoon sunset yoga intention-setting session themed around Welcome & Grounding, with a glass of bubbly to welcome you in. In the evening we move to the hilltops to enjoy a celebratory BBQ under the stars with a stargazing talk by Luca.
- 02Lake Piediluco · Umbria
Lakes & Castles - Swim, Waterfalls & Candlelight
Begin with an early morning yoga session themed around Energizing Flow, designed to wake the body for the water. Then up to 2km in the glassy waters of Lake Piediluco, followed by a forest trail to cascading waterfalls where a local vineyard lays out a picnic of Umbrian wine, seasonal dishes and fresh-baked focaccia. Our first agriturismo dinner at Antica Nord Est closes the day.
- 03Lake Piediluco → Labro
The Epic Swim - Cooking, Castles & Connection
Start the day with an early morning yoga session themed around Strength & Focus, preparing mind and body for our signature open-water swim: 5km, 2.5km, or shorter with support boats beside you. A hands-on Umbrian cooking session, a long, laughter-filled lunch, and a candlelit dinner in the hilltop village of Labro with prosecco and sunset over the castle.
- 04Velino River · Cantina Le Macchie
Rapids, Rivers & A Toast to Umbria
An early morning yoga session themed around Gratitude & Release sets the tone before rafting and wild swimming along the Velino, guided by local experts through rapids and calm waters. A joyful riverside lunch, an afternoon of rest, then a private vineyard tour and dinner among the vines at award-winning Cantina Le Macchie.
