Tuscan Fitness Frequently Asked Questions

Tuscan Fitness is a health holiday first and foremost. If you are looking for delicious, healthy food coupled with relaxation by the pool, then we can make that happen. Alternatively, if you would like to follow a fitness programme, while also enjoying good food and the beautiful countryside, then that is what you can do. The programme has been organised to run on a continual basis and guests are free to join whichever activities they would like to throughout the day. Some of our clients are looking for a mix of exercise and relaxation, most are interested in soaking up the atmosphere and some are looking for a kickstart to fitness. Bearing this in mind no one is constrained to do anything beyond their capabilities or desires.

Of course! Italy is home to so many famous regions, but we believe Tuscany to be up there with the most beautiful and interesting. There are so many towns worth visiting and fabulous places to go and visit in the area that we will provide a variety of choices for you as day trip options.

The diet that has been put together for our clients is one based on the “whole-foods” approach to eating. At Tuscan Fitness we believe that this approach is not only the most wholesome but it is also comprehensive and delicious. These are health holidays after all, so the food has to be healthy but also deliciously apertising. We at TF truly want to help you make a change if you want, and to get you onto the right track for your future health and a fabulous body, therefore we believe that there is no point in trying to impose something inconvenient. The meals will be based around the Mediterranean diet, and will be full of rich flavors and goodness and are all sourced locally, assuring their freshness, without any of the “bad stuff”!!!

The hotel is located at La Forra, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside and set beside the famous Chianti hills. The hotel looks out over farms, cypresses, vineyards and olive groves, with amazing views in all directions.

Tranquil and rustically charming, the hotel provides the perfect setting for a Tuscan health holiday. There is a lovely Tuscan restaurant as well as a swimming pool with amazing views across the valley and to the mountains.
