Absolutely.

Many clients begin the process knowing they want to bring their team to Italy but are unsure which destination would be the best fit.

Recommendations are made based on the objectives of the retreat, the profile of the attendees, the time of year, budget considerations, and the overall experience the company hopes to create.

Yes.

Most clients engage The Italian Chapter to oversee the retreat from the initial planning stage through to on-site delivery, including destination selection, venue sourcing, accommodation, transportation, programme development, supplier coordination, and guest logistics.

The Italian Chapter specialises in retreats and offsites for groups of up to 150 attendees.

Most projects fall between 10 and 150 guests and include leadership retreats, executive gatherings, company offsites, incentive programmes, and annual team retreats.

The planning requirements vary significantly depending on the size and objectives of the group, which is why every project is approached individually rather than through predefined packages.

The earlier the better, particularly for larger groups or retreats taking place during peak seasons.

Most companies begin planning between three and twelve months in advance, depending on the size of the programme, the destination, and the level of flexibility required.

That said, shorter timelines are often possible and can be discussed during the initial consultation.

Yes.

The majority of our clients are based outside Italy.

Many programmes involve attendees travelling from multiple countries, requiring coordination across different arrival points, schedules, and logistical requirements.

Not usually.

Italy is one of the most accessible destinations in Europe, with direct flights connecting major cities across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East.

For most international teams, the challenge is not reaching Italy. It is choosing the destination that best fits the objectives of the retreat and coordinating the logistics once everyone arrives.

The Italian Chapter assists clients with destination selection, transportation planning, and guest logistics, helping ensure that travel remains as straightforward as possible for attendees.

Yes.

The Italian Chapter focuses exclusively on Italy.

This allows us to maintain strong relationships with venues, hotels, suppliers, transportation providers, and local partners throughout the country while providing clients with informed recommendations based on direct experience rather than third-party research.

No.

The focus is not on luxury for its own sake.

The focus is on creating retreats that are appropriate for the company, the attendees, and the objectives of the programme.

In some cases, that may involve highly exclusive properties. In others, it may not.

Absolutely.

Every project begins with a clear understanding of the available budget and priorities.

Recommendations are developed accordingly, ensuring that resources are allocated where they will have the greatest impact on the overall experience.

There is no single answer, as costs vary significantly depending on destination, season, accommodation standards, programme design, and group size.

As a general guideline, most retreats managed by The Italian Chapter fall between €1,000 and €5,000+ per guest, excluding international flights.

During the initial consultation, we help clients understand what is realistically achievable within their budget and recommend destinations, venues, and experiences accordingly.

Yes.

Every project is different, which is why fees are discussed after understanding the scope, group size, destination, and planning requirements involved.

Following the initial consultation, clients receive a clear proposal outlining the services included and the associated fees.
