write in Italy

Have you always dreamed of your very own Under the Tuscan Sun writers retreat? Yearned to stay in a beautiful medieval palazzo in the Tuscan hillside? Fantasised about sitting under an olive tree writing in your journal, words pouring onto the page, flowing effortlessly.

A glass of wine on the terrace overlooking the forest, before a delicious organic dinner prepared by your own private chef who may just serenade you later by the fire. Settling into crispy sunshine-soaked sheets in your giant bed overlooking the hills, staring out at the moon and dreaming up your next chapter.

Yoga in the mornings, first class writing workshops during the day, excursions and a cooking class, meditation and feasting every night, all in the fun company of other like-minded writing folk. Sound like heaven? it is!

Come and join us in October 2025 for seven nights (10 -17th) of writing and relaxing bliss at the magnificent Terzo di Danciano for the writing retreat of a lifetime! Check it all out HERE.

Two highly qualified and experienced writing coaches and published authors, Edwina Shaw (that’s me:) ) and Kerstin Pilz, will gently guide through everything you need to know to write your book and get it ready for publication, and show you new ways to get those stories out of your head and onto the page.

We have two beautiful double rooms and two places in a triple room still available. Bring your partner (they don’t have to write – we offer a discount for non-participating friends), or grab your writing bestie, or just come on your own and share with a wonderful new writing friend.

We’re so excited about our first ever Italian Writing Retreat, a dream come true!

For all the info see our International retreat website Transformational Writing Retreats. Come and join us for the writing holiday you’ve always dreamed of and watch the magic of Tuscany transform your stories, and your life.

You deserve the very best in life. Your creative spirit is calling.

Follow your dreams to Italy for this once in a lifetime writing retreat!
