The Dinner for One Retreat
Fiesole, Italy
October 13-18, 2025
The Dinner for One Retreat is a 6-day, 5-night experience from October 13-18 2025, exclusively for single women to feast on their fabulous lives through food, friendship, creative workshops, and the freedom to just be.
Set in the hills of Tuscany at the serene Fattoria Poggio di Fiesole, an olive oil farm in the picturesque town of Fiesole just outside of Florence, this retreat invites you to reconnect with yourself in the simplest yet most profound ways. Like the beloved Dinner for One Supper Club, this retreat is for single women only. In a world that often prioritizes coupledom, this retreat celebrates women whose paths may look a little different, but are no less worthy of recognition, joy, and care. Too often, the accomplishments, needs, and desires of single women are overlooked. The Dinner for One Retreat is here to change that.
This retreat is an experience just for you. A gift of pleasure, rest, food, and community for you to enjoy, no explanations needed.
Spaces are extremely limited to ensure a cozy and intimate feel. This is not a conference or a wellness boot camp. This is something softer, slower, and, in my humble opinion, far more special.

Every day is guided by a theme, from the simple pleasures of market shopping to the joy of preparing a meal just for you. With a mix of shared meals, solo moments, and creative workshops, you’ll experience the beauty of togetherness without pressure and solitude without loneliness.

A note from Sutanya
“This retreat is an extension of the Dinner for One Supper Club and a living expression of one of my core beliefs: being single is not something to feel bad about or a moment in one’s life that needs to be changed immediately. It’s a joyful, exciting, and fun season that is meant to be fully lived. You deserve exciting adventures and to make beautiful memories simply because you exist, not because you’re partnered. This retreat is an invitation to put yourself first, embrace the fullness of solo living, connect with like-minded women and remember that you are always worth the time and effort. I can’t wait to welcome you to Fiesole!”
