Made in Italy: A Style Immersion Retreat with Marisol Colette

A Style & Soul Retreat with Marisol Colette

8 days

Join transformational stylist and psychotherapist Marisol Colette on a journey through the heart of Italian fashion and artistry, from the sleek streets of Milan to the rolling hills of Tuscany.
This retreat invites you to explore how style, craftsmanship, and self-expression intertwine, both in what we wear and in how we live.

Italy has long celebrated beauty as a way of being. From bespoke ateliers and timeless design to the simplicity of local life, every thread tells a story. Guided by Marisol, you’ll discover how clothing can become a mirror of your inner self, a language of confidence, creativity, and authenticity.

Your experience begins in Milan, the world’s fashion capital, where elegance and innovation meet. Step behind the seams with exclusive visits to designer ateliers, stroll through the iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and immerse yourself in private and group styling sessions with Marisol. Through her therapeutic approach to style, you’ll explore how clothing can reflect your story, confidence, and authentic self. Surrounded by the artistry of Italian design, you’ll develop lasting tools to dress with intention and ease—carrying this inspiration into every facet of your life.

From there, travel south to Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, where beauty is a daily ritual. Explore artisan workshops, wander the Oltrarno’s vintage boutiques, and soak in the vibrant textures of Tuscan life.

Finally, surrender to the slower rhythm of the Val d’Orcia countryside, a UNESCO landscape of vineyards, cypress-lined hills, and ancient villages. Here, fashion gives way to simplicity: bike through vineyards, share wine and conversation with local makers, and experience the harmony between nature, culture, and self.

This journey is designed for those who see travel as transformation, an immersion in artistry, authenticity, and inner discovery.

Highlights include:

  • Exclusive visit to Sartoria Fiorella Atelier in Milan
  • Private styling and shopping experiences with Marisol
  • Boutique stays in Milan, Florence, and the Val d’Orcia countryside
  • Artisan encounters and curated cultural experiences
  • Wine tasting and e-bike adventure through Tuscany’s rolling hills
  • A closing dinner celebrating the beauty of La Dolce Vita
  • Small-group and individual workshops in art, photography, and mindfulness—designed to deepen self-expression, connect personal goals to style, and spark creative awareness through travel.

Curated by Life Beyond the Room, this retreat blends Italy’s timeless sense of design with meaningful travel, slow, sustainable, and deeply human.ity, this partnership redefines what it means to travel—aligning deeply with both the places we visit and the people we are becoming along the way.
