OUR STORY
Founders Nicki and Monica forged a deep friendship during their Gyrotonic training in Florence back in 2022. Happily their respective other halves - Aelred and Paolo, also bonded over common experiences and a shared vision as to how life should be.
Long, lively conversations over many bottles of (mostly) Italian wine, this dynamic quartet formed the vision that is now ORAYA.
Drawing from their expertise as qualified Gyrotonic Trainers, Nicki and Monica immediately recognised the transformative potential of offering Gyrotonic sessions amidst the serene beauty of Borgo Dolciano. Here, guests can partake in these sessions alongside other bespoke activities, creating a unique and enduring experience designed to nurture and inspire in equal measure.
At the heart of this venture is Borgo Dolciano, an exquisite boutique hotel in Tuscany meticulously developed by Paolo and Monica over the past 30 years on a privately owned Italian country estate. It's within the enchanting walls of this exclusive hotel that our retreat finds it’s home.
