June 7 – 13, 2027 · Umbria, Italy
This is a special Che Vita Getaway — a week in the Italian countryside, with live musical performances by Jenner Fox & Jeremy Elliott woven throughout.
Our week is shaped by shared meals, hands-on experiences, beautiful places, live music, and relaxing moments. We’ll gather in the medieval hill town of Città della Pieve and spend our days cooking and eating together, wandering nearby villages, tasting local food and wine, and enjoying the simple pleasure of being in a beautiful place.
The experience is hosted by Shaye and Stuart Elliott and features local Italian cooks, artisans, and guides — with the music of Jenner Fox & Jeremy Elliott writing a special soundtrack to the week. Everything has been carefully arranged so you can settle in, relax, and enjoy the rhythm of the week without managing the details yourself.

Six nights / seven days in a beautiful village hotel in Città della Pieve
Private room with ensuite bathroom (guests traveling as a duo may request a shared room)
