The perfect location for small company retreats.

The MacZoni Recanati Estate is the perfect location for your small company retreat.

​

Want to know how we know? We've hosted two retreats here already! The Estate is owned by the founder of Balsamiq, one of the original bootstrapped remote-first software companies out there. Balsamiq hosted two retreats here before they got too big and corporate, and had to switch to using boring hotels for their offsites.

​

If you are a small company on a tight budget and are looking for a retreat location in Italy in April-June or September-November, this is the place for you.

​

Sleeping

​

We have 3 villas on the Estate: La Sperduta, La Trovata and La Gemma.

 

If your staff is willing to share double beds, we can fit up to 26 people between them. If every person needs their own room, we can fit up to 13.

​

All the rooms are comfortable, but some are fancier than others. We suggest doing a raffle to assign rooms.

 

Here's the layout of the 3 villas:​​​​​

​Working

 

There's good wi-fi throughout the Estate. La Sperduta has Wi-MAX, and La Gemma and La Trovata use Starlink.

​

There are 4 rooms with big long tables which can be used as meeting rooms.
 

6 bedrooms have desks and chairs.
 

Each house has a big screen TV that can be used as a monitor.

​

Playing and relaxing

​

This is really our strength. Get ready to get excited.

​

A tennis / 5-5 soccer court, a bocce court, two ping-pong tables, a foosball table, corn-hole, pickleball and badminton sets, 3 hammocks.

 

Dozens of board games, puzzles and card games. A giant TV with surround-sound for watching movies.

 

Two swimming pools (one can be heated!), two jacuzzis, an incredible SPA with sauna, steam room, bucket shower, two water-beds and a relaxing water wall feature.

 

There are Sonos speakers all over La Trovata, and even a karaoke machine.

 

There's a wood-fired pizza oven at La Sperduta and a professional kitchen at La Trovata, with incredible appliances, bubbly water directly from the tap, plus an industrial deep-frier, two BBQs, a crepe maker, waffle maker, and even a cotton candy machine!

 

Depending on the timing, you could pick cherries, figs or other fruit in the garden, or pick olives and make olive oil!

 

There's even a full woodworking shed near La Sperduta.

​

We can put you in touch with drivers, chefs, massage therapists, beauticians, yoga or tennis instructors, hiking guides, e-bike rental places...you name it!

 

You'll never run out of things to do here. And if you want to leave the compound, look at all the things to do in the area!

​

If you're interested, we could also organize a Q&A with your team and Giacomo 'Peldi' Guilizzoni (the founder of Balsamiq, and the owner of the Estate).

​

Getting there

 

The Ancona airport is about 40 minutes away. Bologna is bigger, and is 2.5 hours away. The train from Rome to Ancona takes around 3 hours. You will need cars or a van to get around while you're here.

​

See updated availability and prices on the reservation page. You can choose to rent an individual villa, or the whole Estate. The cost will be only for the villas. Additional services will be charged separately.
