Dinner for One Retreat
The table is set. Reservations are now open!
Imagine waking up in the golden hills of Tuscany, just outside Florence. The air smells like rosemary and the only thing on your agenda is feasting on your life.
That’s the Dinner for One Retreat.
The Dinner for One Retreat is a 6-day, 5-night experience in the hills of Tuscany, exclusively for single women who are ready to feast on their fabulous lives. From October 12-17, 2026, up to eight women will join me at Fattoria Poggio di Fiesole — a family-owned olive farm perched above Florence in the hills of Fiesole — to rest, eat, create, and just be.
This is not a retreat about finding yourself. You already know where you are. This is about celebrating the incredible life you’ve built.
Over five days, you’ll visit local markets, cook, taste, write, wander Florence alone, share meals under the Tuscan sky, and end with a farewell feast worthy of the woman you are. Every moment is designed with intention. Some shared, some solo, none of it pressured, and all nourishing.
Like the Dinner for One Supper Club, this retreat is for single women only. Not because partnership isn’t beautiful, but because your life, exactly as it is, deserves a space built entirely around it. Your life is not on hold. It is happening this fall, in Tuscany, with good wine and better company.
Too often, the joy, the needs, and the accomplishments of single women are treated as secondary. The Dinner for One Retreat exists to change that.
You deserve this. Andiamo!
This retreat is for you if...
- You’re a single woman craving something just for yourself
- You enjoy being around like-minded women who love to feast on life just as much as you do.
- You’ve been wanting to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in a beautiful and intentional way.
- You want to celebrate where you are right now as a powerful, worthy moment in your life.
What to expect...
Your time during the Dinner for One retreat 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.

About the creative sessions. The retreat isn’t writer-focused, nor is it a writing retreat. The creative sessions are simply a way for you to reconnect and get in touch with yourself.

Where
The workshop will take place at the Fattoria Poggio di Fiesole. Rich in history, from its Renaissance founding as a convent to hosting legendary yoga retreats in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, the farm has always been a refuge where visitors can find peace and connect with nature, while enjoying the modern comforts of luxury apartments. In addition to offering a peaceful haven close to beautiful Tuscan towns, the farm was one of the pioneers of organic farming in Italy and today produces award-winning organic extra virgin olive oil.
Retreat host
Sutanya Dacres
Dinner for One started as a podcast, where I shared my experience of navigating divorce in Paris and finding healing through solo meals and the art of cooking for one.
What started as an intimate personal project has grown into a global community of women choosing to celebrate themselves through supper clubs, retreats, a book, and a podcast listened to around the world.
I create content, experiences, and events that honor the richness of solo living. I want single women to romanticize their everyday lives and reframe this time as sacred and worth celebrating.
