Attending a writing retreat in Italy organized by Ivanna was an unforgettable experience. From the beginning, everything was perfectly planned and well-organized. Ivanna made sure the transfer from the airport to the meeting point was seamless, making the arrival stress-free. The welcome dinner, held in a stunning location, set the perfect tone for the retreat. The villa we stayed in was not only beautiful but also incredibly inspiring—an ideal environment for creativity to flourish.
A huge thank you to Ivanna for crafting such a magical Italian experience for us!

“Who would have thought I’d be creating my own bouquet of flowers, learn how to take beautiful photos of it, and then become the subject of an artistic photographic portrait myself that recreated a classical piece, all of it in one day? I might have had some little doubts, but they dissipated within seconds after meeting our wonderful hosts and guides. That was by far not all, though: discovering the beauty of nature and gorgeous places in a wonderful group of participants and experienced professionals was unforgettable. So much joy, so much fun, so rewarding! I’d repeat it without thinking twice.”

Her warm and attentive approach, combined with a seamless all-inclusive experience, made our stay in this breathtaking location truly exceptional. From a welcome dinner at a charming restaurant in the heart of the city to a five-course seafood feast at a beachfront café, every detail added a special touch of elegance to an already remarkable journey. Not to mention, our meals at the stunning Mediterranean holiday home were perfectly arranged, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in creative writing without any distractions.

Anna, Switzerland

“Two years ago, I attended a women’s writing retreat in a remote villa in Merke, Italy, and it was a truly transformative experience. Thoughtfully curated by Ivanna, who brought together an inspiring group of participants and mentors, the retreat offered insightful workshops with the brilliant Ukrainian writer Irena Karpa and unforgettable culinary experiences crafted by the talented chef Masha Ledina. Beyond the writing and cuisine, the most lasting impact came from the incredible community of Ukrainian women I met there. We formed deep connections that still thrive today, turning a weeklong retreat into lifelong friendships. If you’re looking for inspiration, creativity, and a network of remarkable women, this retreat is an experience that stays with you.”

“This art journey was a truly special experience for me. It allowed me to step away from the routine of everyday life—and even my usual thoughts—and immerse myself in a deeply creative atmosphere. I found inspiration in the beauty around me, which heightened my appreciation for life’s finer details. More than that, I was surrounded by incredible people and creativity that not only captivated me but also enriched my perspective in ways I hadn’t expected.”

All we had to do as participants was enjoy the experience and embrace the new moments, as all the everyday needs—accommodation, transport, food, entertainment—had already been taken care of. It was effortless, convenient, delicious, and beautiful.”

“My retreat weekend in the Netherlands was an unforgettable experience. One of the absolute highlights was the Keukenhof Flower Exhibition—the breathtaking colors and incredible variety of flowers made it a truly immersive way to appreciate the beauty of nature. Another standout moment was the flower and photo workshop, where I learned to capture moments by blending colors and textures. This experience deepened my perspective, making me more mindful and present. Overall, it was a weekend filled with beauty, creativity, and wonderful company. A truly inspiring and memorable experience!”

I had an incredible experience in Italy, thanks to Ivanna. It was my first trip, a long-awaited dream. The Puglia region, a writers’ retreat, a villa with an olive grove and trulli — everything felt magical. We spent our days with talented women, enjoying writing practice with Irena Karpa, trips to wineries, cheese factories, and cozy restaurants.
Ivanna thought of every detail: thoughtful gifts, a relaxed schedule, and shared meals prepared by chef Maria Ledina that filled the air with love. It was a perfect blend of rest, support, and the power of women.
Thank you, Ivanna, for giving me such a beautiful introduction to Italy and for the lasting friendships. I’ll always treasure the memories and would love to do it again!

My retreat experience was nothing short of magical—carefully planned, inspiring, and full of light. Ivanna thought of everything, from the company to the weather, ensuring the perfect atmosphere. The food was a highlight—delicious, beautifully presented, and made with the finest ingredients. It wasn’t just about eating, it was about savoring every detail. I’m still in touch with the amazing women from the retreat, and I continue to write my little texts. Truly, it was Dolce Vita with a Ukrainian soul.
