• You will log more than 30 miles of hiking, clear your mind and feel the revitalising benefits of a plant-based diet.
• You will detoxify your body and educate yourself on creating a positive shift in your habits while gaining muscle, losing fat and mentally resetting.
• Lasting nutritional and fitness guidance from the resident experts will continue after departure to ensure you sustain the benefits of your stay. Often guests continue to lose weight and inches even after they return home.

Calm your mind and challenge your body in as little as four days at The Ranch Italy 4.0. Over a long weekend, Thursday – Monday, you’ll participate in an active program designed to help you jumpstart a path towards better health while leaving with mental and physical results along with medical insight.  This program is ideal for solo travellers, couples or groups and perfect if you want to improve your overall wellness but can’t commit to a full week or wish to end a trip to Italy with a healthy reset.

Limited to 25 guests each session, this experience takes place in a new medical wellness retreat nestled in one of Italy’s richest naturalistic areas, just 50 minutes from Rome.  The daily schedule mirrors The Ranch Malibu’s signature no-options program. Each day includes a four-hour morning mountain hike, nap time, afternoon strength and core training classes, restorative yoga and a daily massage.

Hikes are meant to be done for time rather than distance, with a varied trail each day. You’ll scale elevations over 2,000 meters as they trek the Apennine Mountains that surround the Lazio region in which Fiuggi is located. The scenery varies from forested canopies, open meadows, valleys, and streams to hilltop hamlets, medieval villages, and ancient monasteries. Afternoon classes are held in a private section of the Palazzo for guests, who also have access to the a. state-of-the-art 4,300 square-foot fitness centre, complete with Technogym, Pilates, Yoga, and Relaxing Training equipment.

The rigorous routine is complemented by a nutritionally dense, plant-based menu with an Italian flair, created by Executive Chef Meredith Haaz and prepared by 3-star Michelin Chef Heinz Beck and his culinary team. Meals are enjoyed as a group in a private dining room overlooking the mountains and ancient hilltop town.

During the long weekend programme, you will enjoy the mental benefits of connecting with nature’s healing elements and routinely gain muscle and lose fat, inches and weight, with many continuing to see results following your stay. The addition of diagnostic testing, a blood panel and medical consultation offers a complete picture of your overall health and longevity upon departure.

For those looking for a longer wellness experience, a weeklong Italian immersion is also available.
