THE SCREEN-SIZED GAP

For Futureform, a boutique Salesforce consultancy, the primary challenge was not technical, but cultural. Having expanded from a modest team of nine to nearly fifty members in just a few years, they were searching for ways to ensure that their vibrant, very personal culture would remain as strong as it had been - despite embracing increasingly remote ways of working.

SUN-DRENCHED STONE AND SPONTANEOUS SPEECH

The Workation Village offered a rustic sanctuary matching Plancraft’s easygoing vibe. Ancient stone walls warmed by late summer sun framed communal spaces that encouraged belonging. Mornings began with sunrise yoga; afternoons flowed poolside with spontaneous conversations; evenings gathered around the campfire, where hierarchy faded in the amber glow.

A Slow Approach, On Purpose

The retreat didn't begin on the island. It began in Bergamo, where the group spent its first night easing into one another's company before the real arrival — a deliberate buffer between inboxes and Italy. From there, the journey curved north toward Lake Iseo and across the water to Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Southern Europe and one with no cars allowed on its single coastal road. The advance party — Quansight's own management team — had already arrived days earlier at Sensole, the small lakeside hamlet that would anchor the week, scouting the rhythm the rest of the group would soon fall into.

VILLAGE OLYMPICS AND SHARED EFFORT

The "Village Olympics" became a week highlight, testing teamwork and revealing a genuine desire to connect. Alternative activities included pasta-making workshops, competitive sports, or quiet personal time, letting each member engage at their own pace.

A CULTURE EMBEDDED IN PLACE

By blending structured learning, play, and unplanned connection, the retreat left the team with a tangible sense of culture. Plancraft’s hybrid identity was reinforced not just digitally, but physically, ensuring a vibrant, connected foundation for the year ahead.

Campfire organized an outstanding retreat for our company in Sicily, accommodating around 200 participants. Everything was top-notch, from the shuttles to and from the airports to the food, accommodation, workspaces, and even social areas. Letizia and her team were incredibly responsive and practical whenever we had new requests or needed changes throughout the week. This was our second experience working with Campfire, and we hope it won't be our last.

Just came back from a team retreat in Sicily and what can I say, Letizia and Francesca were amazing organisers! Wish it lasted longer and looking forward to many more!

We partnered with Campfire for our company's annual retreat. As a UK-based company, this was the first time the company went abroad for it and finding a partner that could help us sort out all of the details, spoke the local language and plan a truly memorable event was vital to its success. Over several months we worked closely with Letizia and the Campfire team to brainstorm and plan every last detail for the retreat in Italy. They were well organised, great at communication and always reachable when we had any questions. They ensured our team of over 30 were well taken care of at the venue and made sure that every request was handled in a timely manner. They helped us pull off the event beautifully and we definitely recommend them for corporate retreat planning!

Great working with these guys. Letizia and Flo have helped us plan two successful retreats now, always a pleasure. Great attention to detail, brilliant venues and locations. Love the outdoor/nature themed ethos of the company, these folks get it!

Francesca and Mariona made our company trip to Spain truly exceptional. From the beginning, they were always there to ensure everything ran smoothly and our needs were met – no matter how big or small. Their attention to detail, quick response and friendly approach made the planning process enjoyable. Thanks to their incredible support, the event was a huge success. We couldn’t have asked for better partners and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a team event!

We used Campfire for the first time this year, and our annual company offsite turned out to be the best one yet. I had the pleasure of working with Letizia and Francesca, who were both incredibly understanding and accommodating. They took the time to listen to our needs and offered thoughtful suggestions for activities, which ended up being the highlights of the trip. Thank you both again for making it such a great experience!

Leider gibt es nur 5 Sterne zu vergeben. Gern hätte ich mehr vergeben für die großartige Organisation, Flexibilität und hervorragende Zusammenarbeit mit Marica. Sie hat uns bereits zum 2. Mal betreut und unser Teamevent zu einem unvergesslichen Ereignis gemacht. Ich kann Campfire uneingeschränkt empfehlen, wenn es um die Organisation und Durchführung von Teamevents geht.

Great organized trip to Portugal. Every small issue was addressed as best as possible. Additionally, our local guide was just amazing, dealt with everything and was still able to find a few minutes for everyone to learn some more things about our location and Portugal in general.

Huge thanks to Campfire for organizing such a wonderful retreat! Everything was so well thought out, and we truly appreciated the experience. Looking forward to the next one!

As powerful as hybrid work is in opening up new opportunities, nothing replaces the value of meeting in person: to connect, to create clarity, and to build trust face to face.
