A Wellness Experience with Paola Lovisetti Scamihorn: Discover the Healing Power of Food, Lifestyle & Italian Culture in the Heart of Lake Como
Are you ready to escape the noise and reconnect with yourself in one of the most beautiful and tranquil places in the world?
Welcome to The Mediterranean Diet Escape—a personalized eating plan and wellness retreat in Lake Como, Italy. This is not just a holiday; it’s a full-body, mind, and soul reset. Led by me, Paola Lovisetti Scamihorn, a local scientist, Mediterranean food writer, and health coach, this immersive experience brings together everything you need to live well, eat well, and feel well—all inspired by the principles of the world-renowned Mediterranean lifestyle.
A Real Italian Retreat in Lake Como – Testimonial Julie
This past May (2025), I had the joy of hosting a British guest, J.S., for a private, week-long wellness retreat at Lake Como. She arrived in need of healing—physically, mentally, and emotionally. After just seven days, she felt lighter, more energized, and truly joyful. Her blood values improved, her stress melted away, and she was reminded how nourishment, movement, culture, and connection can deeply transform your health.
“Thanks so much, Julie, for registering. I really enjoyed our time together—it was a beautiful sharing of emotions and experiences. I loved cooking with you and sharing the meal prepared all together”.
Julie: “ I had the immense pleasure of spending a week with Paola and Gaia, taking time out from a very hectic and stressful schedule, in order to take a step back, have a digital detox and reassess life’s priorities. Everything about the setting, the content, as well as the amazing people, was perfect. I can highly recommend this Retreat and will definitely be returning. It was sheer bliss.”
That’s the magic of The Mediterranean Diet Escape.
