Experience The Ranch’s transformational weekly wellness programme in a historic property nestled in one of Italy’s richest naturalistic areas, just 50 minutes from Rome. The Ranch Italy combines an award-winning, results-oriented fitness programme with the services and expertise of the esteemed team at a renowned medical wellness retreat. The result is an immersive and transformative programme that gives guests a more complete picture of their overall health and longevity, departing with a greater sense of self, feeling rested and rejuvenated while losing weight and gaining muscle.
Limited to 25 guests each week, this 7-night, 8-day experience features a daily schedule. Each day includes a four-hour morning mountain hike, nap time, afternoon strength and core training classes, yoga and daily massage.
Hikes are meant to be done for time rather than distance, with a varied trail each day. Guests scale elevations over 2,000 meters as they trek the Apennine Mountains surrounding 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 Ranch guests, who also have access to the 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.
For those who wish to gain the benefits of this immersive wellness programme but are unable to commit to a full week, there is a four-day programme which includes the same programming and medical offerings as the weeklong stay but over a long weekend to help jumpstart one’s path to better health.
