Hidden Treasures in the Etruscan Coast - Val di Cornia
The Emotional Garden of Feather Trails
The Emotional Garden of Feather Trails is a true microcosm of almost one hectare where nature, symbols, and perception intertwine.
Among grasses that dance with the wind, artistic installations, and energy centers, the primordial elements of water, earth, fire, and air dialogue in harmony. The path invites you to slow down, listen, and rediscover essential beauty.
An immersive experience in the heart of the nature of the Etruscan Coast.
Not just a visit, but an experience that changes how you perceive yourself and your surroundings.
Holistic Retreats
A space that truly supports your retreat
La Gualda Vecchia offers an ideal environment for yoga retreats and holistic courses, thanks to a natural setting that promotes presence, listening, and connection.
The silence, the purity of the air, the night sky, the Emotional Garden, the yurt in the woods, vibrant, prana-rich cuisine, and spaces created with authentic materials all actively contribute to the quality of the experience.
We host only small groups, preserving the quality of the experience and allowing for a deeper connection among people.

Experiences that nourish the senses and reconnect with the essential
Every proposal stems from the desire to offer authentic, simple, and profound moments.
Every experience is designed to make you truly slow down and live something authentic
The proposals are always tailor-made, with attention to every detail and to the moment you are experiencing. Nothing is standard: every encounter takes shape through listening, with presence and care.
They take place in spaces naturally charged with energy – the Emotional Garden, the yurt immersed in the woods, the quiet of the elements – where the context itself becomes part of the experience.
Experiences at La Gualda Vecchia
Five Elements Massages
Each experience is born from a natural element – earth, water, fire, air, and ether – and unfolds like a small ritual: touch, breath, herbs, the silence of the place.
Every detail – from the herbal infusion to the final integration moment – is designed to leave something that lasts, even afterwards.
Experiences at La Gualda Vecchia
Couple Experiences
The experiences are conceived as true guided rituals: structured moments where breath, touch, and presence become tools to rediscover connection, beyond daily dynamics.
In the yurt immersed in the woods, each phase has a precise meaning: slowing down, mutual listening, conscious contact.
Many couples arrive weighed down by the everyday.
They leave with something more essential: clarity, closeness, listening.
Your special day
Elopement & micro weddings
We host elopements and micro weddings for a select few, where every presence counts and nothing is left to chance. Not large numbers, but space, silence, and time to truly experience what happens.
The farmhouse, the garden, the woods, and the yurt become part of the celebration: living elements that accompany a simple, authentic rite, true to who you are.
It is a place for those who do not identify with conventional ceremonies and desire something more intimate, more real, more personal.
Experiences at La Gualda Vecchia
Yoga
From sunrise practices in the Emotional Garden to sessions in the yurt, each experience is an invitation to listen and be present.
A slow time, dedicated to rediscovering balance, breath, and inner space.
Each session is guided and adapted to the individual: whether you seek energy, release, or simply a moment to breathe, the practice molds itself to what you need. No experience is required. Only the desire to stop, listen, and find balance.
Suitable even for those approaching it for the first time, with no prior experience needed.
