On a mission to make the world self-connected, grounded and peaceful, one wellness retreat at a time
Hi, I’m Marta, your wellness retreat planner in Italy
I’m a fellow dreamer, wellness enthusiast, creative and ambitious businesswoman.
Founding Grapefruit Retreats has been the natural consequence of following my true calling: to combine my passion for travelling and mindfulness with my expertise as an event planner.
After graduating in Business Administration at the University of Florence, I realised my heart was leading me toward the world of tourism.
Following my passion for travelling, I worked in various countries, mastered new languages, and made lifelong friendships.
Among the places that left a footprint in my heart is Canada.
There, I spent five years, furthered my education in Hospitality, built a family and worked for over 10 years as an event planner in the luxury sector.
As a yoga practitioner, I discovered the profound importance of self-care and inner listening. Over the years, this practice has remained the pillar I return to whenever I need to feel centred and grounded.
Helping yoga instructors and wellness mentors spread the incredible benefits of their practices is just the most challenging yet rewarding job I could have dreamed about.
As a wellness retreat planner, I take care of each customer request ensuring nothing but excellence during their stay in Italy.
If you plan a retreat, here is how we can make it happen together

"Working with Marta was an incredible experience, the villa she found for us was just perfect for our yoga retreat, pictures didn’t do it justice! It was clear that she knew the host very well and perfectly understood exactly what we were looking for. We’re already planning another retreat with her rig after the first one as well as summer 2026, can’t wait what she has in store for us for next time."

"I highly recommend Marta. I would NOT have been able to run my beautiful yoga retreat in Puglia without her. There are so many things to take into account and she is on top of all of it. She works from a place of integrity and heart. I had a dream and Marta helped me make it come true."
- Baillie Bliss
"It was such a pleasure to work with Marta. She found me the most beautiful location that served my retreat so very well! It was the BEST it could have possibly been and I'm so grateful! It was easy, streamlined, filled with integrity and just a delight! As a retreat leader, this means a LOT to me!"
