3 days. 2 nights. 10 members. Fine gastronomy & desirability.
When rarity becomes an art.
Why do certain creations become objects of desire? How can a craft, a singularity or an experience acquire exceptional value?
In the heart of Tuscany, Satkāra Society invites you to an exclusive immersion at Castelfalfi, where the truffle and fine gastronomy open a fascinating reflection on the codes of luxury and the creation of value.
From the search for one of gastronomy’s most coveted treasures to conversations between executives, entrepreneurs and creative minds, every experience explores the same idea: rarity is not enough. The art lies in knowing how to give it value.
Three days to awaken the senses, confront perspectives and discover what turns a difference into a genuine competitive advantage.
What is rare is not always precious. What is precious cannot be imitated.
A truffle is more than its price. Its value comes from a territory, a craft, a history and a sensory experience. In business, the mechanics are the same.
How do you cultivate your singularity? Build a desirable brand? Turn excellence into perceived value?
Questions we will explore far from conference rooms — through gastronomy, encounters and collective intelligence.
The Truffle Hunt. A private truffle search in the woods of Castelfalfi, guided by a local expert and his dogs. Discovering the origin of a rare product and the know-how behind its prestige.
The Art of Gastronomy. A private table devoted to the truffle and to Tuscan flavours. A dining experience where the excellence of the produce meets that of the gesture, the preparation and the art of hosting.
The Value Salon. A confidential business conversation around one question: how do you turn singularity into value? Premium strategy, differentiation, desirability, customer experience and brand power — perspectives exchanged across industries.
The Satkāra Circle. Ten personalities, different paths and the time for real conversations. A space to share reflections, challenge ideas and let new perspectives emerge.
For those whose work is to make a singularity desirable. A deliberately small circle — 10 members — of entrepreneurs, executives, investors, creators and personalities who share the same curiosity. First edition, by application.
Beyond the setting, this immersion carries the Satkāra spirit: time for encounters, the pleasure of slowing down and a taste for rare things. Here you share a search before you share a table, and you leave richer for everything you have learned — from others, from the place and from yourself.
Three days and two nights at Castelfalfi, from 5 to 7 November 2027: a truffle hunt, a gastronomic table, a business salon and the time for real conversations.
Afternoon — arrival at Castelfalfi and check-in to your five-star accommodation.
Early evening — discovery of the estate and Italian aperitivo, followed by a welcome dinner to meet the other participants.
Morning — into the woods for a private truffle hunt, guided by an expert and his dogs. The experience continues over a gastronomic lunch devoted to the truffle.
Afternoon — The Value Salon opens the discussion on the strategies that make the difference: rarity, desirability, craft and perceived value.
Evening — dinner at Il Rosmarino, to carry on the conversation in a warm and refined setting.
Morning — breakfast followed by the Satkāra Circle, a final conversation between participants around the ideas, projects and inspirations born during the stay.
Afternoon — departures.
Optional activities, dedicated business sessions and everything you need to prepare your stay with peace of mind.
Beyond the truffle, three moments of the stay are devoted to our conversations: the truffle lunch at a private table, The Value Salon and the Member Roundtable on the final morning. A few weeks before departure, we will ask you for one thing only: an opportunity, an asset or an idea whose value you believe has not yet been seen. The group stays deliberately small — 10 members — so that everyone has the time to tell their story.
The stay is held in English: the Castelfalfi teams, the truffle hunter and the Special Guest speak English and Italian. French translation is provided during the key sessions, and a French-speaking coordinator is with you from the first day to the last.
In early November, Tuscany enters white truffle season: crisp, misty mornings in the woods, mild days around 15 °C, autumn light on the hills. Rain is part of the scenery — and of the hunt. Pack waterproof walking shoes, a warm jacket for the morning in the forest and something more elegant for dinners.
Italy is part of the Schengen Area. For EU and Swiss nationals, a valid national identity card or passport is sufficient. Other nationalities should check their entry requirements with the Italian consulate before booking.

We can arrange your flights according to your preferences, as well as your private transfer to the estate; this transfer is quoted separately. Prefer to travel independently? Let us know and we will coordinate your arrival time with the programme.

A medieval hamlet perched on the hills of Montaione, between Florence and Pisa, Castelfalfi has kept its stone houses, its castle and its church. A thousand-year-old heritage, restored to be lived in today.
Vineyards, olive groves, woods and fields: an organic agricultural estate producing its own wine and oil. One hundred and forty-six rooms and suites, three villas, a penthouse.
The village square, the Medici garden, heated pools facing the hills and one of the largest golf courses in Tuscany: views you will find nowhere else.
La Rocca, the gastronomic table set in the castle; Il Rosmarino, a Tuscan trattoria and its pizzeria; and Olivina, contemporary Italian cuisine. Plus the RAKxa Wellness Spa to round off the day.
From the truffle woods to the village tables, everything here speaks of a land and of what it hides. These are the walls you will be staying in.
A Tabaccaia Classic room of 22 m², set in the village’s former tobacco factory. Exposed stone, old beams, linen and pale wood: all the comfort of a contemporary five-star, within a thousand-year-old village.
King-size or twin beds, fine linens, air conditioning, walk-in shower, coffee corner and a selection of teas, minibar, Wi-Fi, Dyson hairdryer. And, on waking, a view over the Tuscan hills or the village square.
Eight in the morning. Mist still lingers on the hills, the truffle hunter whistles for his dogs, the earth is damp beneath the oaks. White truffles cannot be farmed: they are searched for, and found only with instinct, patience and a good partner. A morning that does not forgive impatience: it rewards attention, reading the ground, the ability to recognise what others do not see — exactly what you came to work on.
Here, cooking is an art: every flavour tells the landscape and the history of the place. At La Rocca, inside the castle, chef Davide De Simone signs a cuisine deeply rooted in Tuscan tradition — estate produce, absolute seasonality. At Il Rosmarino, you dine as in a trattoria, simply and well. And at your private table, the morning’s truffle arrives on the plate: the taste of what you found yourself.
For this immersion, Satkāra invites a recognised figure from the business world and the creation of value, used to supporting executives and brands in building their singularity.
They will lead the business theme of the stay: The Value Salon, on the afternoon of the second day, devoted to our common thread — what takes a singularity from rare to precious.
Their name will be revealed to participants soon.
A truffle hunt. A private table. A business salon. A few chosen encounters. And perhaps, in the turn of a conversation, a value you had not yet seen. That is all we promise you — and it is already a great deal.
Ce qu’il faut savoir avant de rejoindre cette première édition : le niveau de jeu, ce que le prix comprend, et comment on y accède.
No. The truffle is our common thread, not an exam. The hunt takes place with a truffle hunter and his dogs, in a small group, and everyone finds their own pleasure in it — what counts is attention, not expertise. Seasoned food lovers and the simply curious share the same table: that is precisely what makes the conversation interesting.
No. This experience is open to members and non-members alike. Members with an annual membership receive 10% off this stay.
