Casetta Firenze recently announced a new Executive Retreats program for companies and leadership teams to recharge, refocus and rejuvenate in the Chianti region of Tuscany.

Highlights of the Executive Retreat programs include:

Equine Therapy Program

This program was created for intuitive interactions between horses and humans through a partnership with local equestrian facility Alterreno. The Equine Therapy program is perfect for groups looking to set out on a powerful journey of self-discovery with a beautiful backdrop. Activities are designed to encourage teamwork, trust and communication between participants while relieving stress, promoting listening and observation skills.

Culinary Immersion Workshop

Join Jeff Thickman, resident Culinary Ambassador for Casetta, in the kitchen for a delicious meal with interesting culinary tips. As a former personal chef for celebrities, prime ministers and presidents, Thickman changed gears and now entertains guests in his professional kitchen. Engage in a multicourse class where teams will create an elaborate meal together for all to enjoy.

Expert-Led Wine Tasting and Lecture

After 30 years perfecting his expertise, Lawrence d’Almeida, wine professional and sommelier, leads expect-level tasting sessions with some of the most interesting wines.

The luxury farmhouse features five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Guests also have access to a saltwater pool, outdoor gardens, dining areas and a yoga deck. An on-site private chef is also available to cook delicious meals and snacks throughout the day.

Sustainability Measures Help Cruise Lines Care for the Planet

With a reputation for excess, the multibillion-dollar cruising industry pushes the limits. Each year brings bigger, more extravagant ships, and as ships continue to grow, so do bookings. According to a 2024 Cruise Lines International Association report, passenger volume in 2023 reached 32 million, a 7 percent increase from 2019. It anticipates a 10 percent increase over the next four years.

Share Miles with Family and Friends with United Airlines

As you look ahead to winter travel, United Airlines and its MileagePlus loyalty program introduced MileagePlus miles pooling, which allows members to contribute and combine miles into a joint account. Groups of up to five members can now share and redeem miles in one linked account. As the first and only major U.S. airline to offer this feature, United also allows any MileagePlus member, whether relatives or close friends, to be in a pool with other members.
