Are Celestial Retreats the Next Big Travel Trend? | Vogue

"Under the glow of October’s supermoon, I walked down a dimly lit gravel path across a 3,750-acre Umbrian estate near the Tuscan border, where rolling hills are dotted with ancient farmhouses restored by architect Count Benedikt Bolza and his wife, artist Donna Nencia. At its heart, an 11th-century castle holds a 36-room boutique hotel filled with bespoke furniture and antiques that hark back to the days of astro-navigation and farming by lunar phases. I came for the newly launched Celestial Retreat—a 'personalized cosmic odyssey'—with stargazing alongside an astronomer, yoga, zodiac-inspired spa treatments, and adventures among oak forests and ancient olive groves, and it felt like the perfect place for a weekend of lunar-inspired self-care." - Julia Eskins
