Destinations and venues
A shortlist based on your dates, budget, group size and meeting requirements. We consider how guests will get there, where they will stay and the travel time between locations.
Corporate Retreats & Events
Corporate retreats and events in Italy
Company retreats, conferences, incentive trips and team offsites, planned for international companies across Italy.
Alessia Piperno works directly with your team to organise the venue, accommodation, travel and programme. She coordinates the suppliers and practical arrangements, with on-site support to manage the event while you spend time with your colleagues.
What you can hand over to us
Organising a company event often becomes another job for someone who already has one. We take responsibility for the arrangements you need help with, keeping you involved in the decisions that matter.
Accommodation and travel
Hotel bookings, rooming lists, flight coordination and airport transfers, including groups arriving from different countries or staying across several properties.
Meetings, meals and activities
Meeting spaces, catering, restaurant bookings, team activities and local experiences, organised around your working schedule and your guests’ needs.
Budget and suppliers
An overall budget to guide the plans, with supplier quotes, bookings and payment deadlines tracked as the event develops. When you consider a change, you can see what it means for the costs and schedule.
Guest communication and on-site coordination
Practical information before departure, clear daily plans and a contact for guest questions. On site, we coordinate suppliers, keep track of timings and handle changes as they arise.
What are you planning?
Company retreats
Bring colleagues together for working sessions, shared meals and time outside the office. We organise the setting and logistics around your agenda, whether your team works remotely or across several locations.
The programme can include workshops and presentations alongside activities and free time, with enough room between commitments for people to talk.
Leadership retreats and executive offsites
Smaller gatherings for founders, senior teams and boards who need time for discussion and planning.
We help you find a suitable venue and arrange accommodation, meeting facilities, meals and transport around your sessions. You set the business agenda; we organise the stay that supports it.
Incentive trips
Reward your team with a trip that gives them something to look forward to and enjoy together.
Winery visits, regional food experiences, boat excursions and outdoor activities can form part of the programme, selected for the destination, season and people travelling. We coordinate the bookings, travel and accommodation around the agreed budget.
Conferences and corporate meetings
Accommodation, meeting rooms, arrivals and transfers all need to fit the conference timetable.
We coordinate those arrangements alongside catering, group dinners and excursions, giving your internal team a point of contact across the local suppliers involved.
Company celebrations
Mark an anniversary, a team achievement or another important moment with a dinner, an event or several days together.
We organise the venue, food, entertainment and guest arrangements around the occasion, including accommodation and transport when people are travelling to attend.
Your point of contact
Working with Alessia
You work directly with Alessia throughout the planning. She gets to know your priorities, develops the proposal with you and coordinates the selected collaborators and suppliers involved.
We start with your preferred dates, expected attendance, departure locations and budget. You do not need to have chosen a destination or completed the agenda before getting in touch.
As the plans develop, Alessia keeps track of the bookings and decisions still needed from your team. If on-site coordination is part of your brief, she is there during the event to manage delivery and assist your guests.

Choosing where to bring your team
The destination needs to work for your programme and the people travelling. Flight connections, room availability, meeting facilities and distances between venues all influence the choice.
We help you compare locations across Italy, whether you already have a region in mind or want recommendations based on your brief.

Questions We Are Often Asked
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Group sizes depend on the brief, venue and programme. Alessia has coordinated intimate gatherings as well as larger events.
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. There is no published minimum budget.
Share an approximate amount in your preferred currency, or choose ‘Budget to discuss’ when you enquire. Alessia can discuss what is realistically achievable and shape a proposal around your priorities.
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.
