Experience The Ranch’s transformational weekly wellness program in a historic property, nestled in one of Italy’s richest naturalistic areas, just 50 minutes from Rome.   The Ranch Italy at Palazzo Fiuggi combines our award-winning, results-oriented fitness program with the services and expertise of the esteemed team at this renowned medical wellness retreat. The result is an immersive and transformative program that gives guests a more complete picture of their overall health and longevity, departing with a greater sense of self, feeling rested and rejuvenated while losing weight and gaining muscle.

“The Ranch Italy was a truly transformational experience. I watched my fellow guests literally get stronger and healthier right before my eyes. I, personally, have more energy, more muscle, and less fat! Yeah to that! The property is amazing, the staff was knowledgeable and kind and the nature hikes they have selected are beautiful. I look forward to sharing this experience with my family and friends and will see you next year.” – W.G.

Limited to 25 guests each week, this 7-night, 8-day experience features a daily schedule that mirrors The Ranch Malibu’s signature no-options program. Each day includes a four-hour morning mountain hike, nap time, afternoon strength and core training classes, yoga and daily massage.

As in Malibu, hikes are meant to be done for time rather than distance, with a varied trail each day. Guests scale elevations over 2,000 meters as they trek the Apennine Mountains that surround the Lazio region in which Fiuggi is located. The scenery varies from forested canopies, open meadows, valleys, and streams to hilltop hamlets, medieval villages, and ancient monasteries. Afternoon classes are held in a private section of the Palazzo for Ranch guests, who also have access to the Palazzo’s state-of-the-art 4,300 square-foot fitness center, complete with Technogym, Pilates, Yoga, and Reaxing Training equipment.

“If you are looking for the ideal combination of The Ranch experience mixed with the beauty of Italy, this program is perfection! The program and meals are what you expect from The Ranch setting in Italy and the hikes and the spa are beyond. Bravi Team!!!!” – B.B.

The rigorous routine is complemented by a nutritionally dense, plant-based menu with an Italian flair, created The Ranch Malibu’s Executive Chef Meredith Haaz and prepared by 3-star Michelin Chef Heinz Beck and his Palazzo Fiuggi culinary team. Meals are enjoyed as a group, in a private dining room overlooking the mountains and ancient hilltop town.

For those who wish to gain the benefits of this immersive wellness program, but are unable to commit to a full week, we are thrilled to offer The Ranch Italy 4.0.  This Thursday – Monday option includes the same programming and medical offerings as the weeklong stay but over a long weekend to help jumpstart one’s path to better health.

Guests routinely lose 3%-6% of their body weight, along with substantial inches of fat loss and muscle gain. Improvements in cholesterol levels, immunity and mental clarity are also seen.  With the added benefit of diagnostic testing
and a medical consultation guests gain a clearer picture of their overall health and ways in which to optimize vitality.

Upon completion of the program, guests leave transformed and informed.  They experience physical and mental changes, logging over 60 miles of hiking, losing weight and inches, emanating a vibrant, healthy glow and regaining clarity and peace of mind.  Lasting nutritional and fitness guidance from The Ranch experts continues after departure to support guests in sustaining the benefits of their stay.

“My most powerful memory from the week is the human connection with each and every member of the dynamic group. I cherished absolutely every moment and feel fully rejuvenated and strong.” – D.S.

Located on an ancient hilltop, surrounded by centennial sequoia trees, in a private 20-acre park, Palazzo Fiuggi is a historic property nestled in one of Italy’s richest naturalistic areas. Known for the unique healing powers of its water since the early fourteenth century, the region was often visited by royalty, popes and masters of the Renaissance, including Michelangelo, for its restorative qualities.

At 700 meters above sea level, the newly renovated retreat offers clean and pure oxygen-rich air that creates the ideal altitude for personal transformation. The luxurious property and five-star service mirror what is offered at The Ranch as guests stay in private accommodations with views overlooking the grounds of the park or “old town” of Fiuggi. Rooms are flooded with natural light, each featuring smart, contemporary styling that complements the Liberty-period provenance of the historical building.

“Palazzo Fiuggi is the dream home for The Ranch Italy – world-class facilities, five-star hospitality, next-level spa facilities, and an ideal location and setting. What a find! The staff is warm, inspiring, and devoted while the food is delicious and satisfying. A truly transformational experience!” – L.B.

While all Ranch programming, including dining and fitness, takes place in private spaces for the group, guests of The Ranch program can also enjoy the retreat’s panoramic indoor and outdoor pools, that feature views of Fiuggi “old town.” A highlight of the experience is Fiuggi’s world-class spa, or Roman Thermae which includes the use of hydrotherapy and Thalasso pools featuring the ancient healing waters of the area.
