PERMISSION TO PLAYPuglia, Italy
September 4-11, 2027
What if the next chapter isn’t about doing more?
Somewhere along the way, life became filled with responsibilities, expectations, schedules, and all the things we’re supposed to do.
We became very good at taking care of business — and everyone else.
But there’s another part of you still in there.
The woman who laughs too loudly.
Dances without worrying how she looks.
Lingers over a beautiful meal.
Jumps into the sea.
Gets curious.
Gets messy.
Changes her mind.
Does something simply because it feels good.
Permission to Play is an invitation back to her.
For seven unforgettable nights in Puglia, Italy, we’re creating space to step away from the noise and into pleasure, presence, connection, beauty — and play.
Not because you need to become someone new.
Because you may be ready to remember who you were before life got quite so serious.
When did we stop playing?
YOUR PRIVATE PUGLIAN PLAYGROUNDWhat Awaits You
Expect luxurious accommodations at our private masseria.
Imagine a spectacular private masseria set among ancient olive groves, with just nine beautifully appointed bedrooms, two serene pools, sweeping Puglian views, and chef-prepared meals.
Welcome to Masseria Petrarolo. Your private Puglian Playground is a historic 17th-century (build in 1689) fortified farmhouse and luxury villa located in the heart of Puglia, Italy.
Originally designed to protect local villagers from Saracen and Barbary raiders, the property has been restored into an exclusive family hideaway and for one extraordinary week, the entire property becomes our private playground.
Slow mornings.
Bare feet.
Long tables.
Music drifting through the masseria.
Movement when it feels good.
Meditation when we want stillness.
Conversations that linger.
Afternoons by the pool.
And enough spaciousness for the unexpected moments that often become the ones we remember most.
This is effortless luxury — not because every minute has been scheduled for you, but because it hasn’t.
Pleasure & Play
Pleasure is part of the practice.
This isn't a retreat where pleasure is the reward after you've done the work.
Pleasure is the work.
Taste.
Touch.
Movement.
Music.
Beauty.
Laughter.
Rest.
Connection.
Curiosity.

What does play look like in Puglia?
It might look like...
Cruising the Adriatic by boat, exploring sea caves and jumping into impossibly blue water.
Learning the art of mozzarella making from the people who have been doing it for generations.
Wandering through whitewashed villages and tiny streets with nowhere in particular to be.
Discovering Puglia through its wine and ancient olive groves.
Dancing Pizzica as the sun goes down.
Exploring the iconic trulli of Alberobello.
Sharing beautiful meals around a long table.
Moving, meditating, laughing and connecting back at the masseria.
Or doing absolutely nothing at all.
Because sometimes the greatest luxury is simply having permission not to accomplish anything.
Some of our accommodations are ideal for sharing with a sister, best friend, daughter, or travel companion, making this a beautiful opportunity to create lasting memories together.
Who would you love to share this experience with?
We believe transformation doesn't always have to come through working harder, digging deeper or fixing something.
Sometimes transformation happens when we soften.
When we laugh.
When we move.
When we experience beauty.
When we try something new.
When we stop managing the moment and actually live inside it.

The Rhythm of the Retreat
At Get Fit Retreats, we believe the most meaningful transformations happen when there's space to breathe, play and be.
We believe the most transformative experiences leave room to breathe.
Rather than following a rigid schedule, we thoughtfully blend movement, meditation, adventure, nourishment, and rest into a beautifully curated experience.
With a balance of guided activities and spacious free time, each retreat unfolds organically—shaped by the women who gather and the magic of Puglia itself.

You'll leave with more than memories.
You'll leave feeling lighter, clearer, more connected to yourself, and inspired for what comes next.
COME FOR PUGLIA.
Come for the food.
Come for the sea.
Come for the beauty.
Come for the laughter.
Come because you need an adventure.
Come because something inside you is whispering that it's time.
But most of all...
Come for Puglia. Leave remembering a part of yourself you didn't realize you'd been missing.
