September 1 - 7 , 2027
Reserve today with a $500 deposit. The rest of your balance is spread evenly over six monthly payments, from March through August. Nothing more is due until March. The price shown is the full rate.
You’re invited to join us for a speciality culinary week together in the Umbrian countryside — this Che Vita Getaway week is especially for women traveling together!
This Che Vita Getaway is a full, generous week marked by shared meals, hands-on experiences, beautiful places, 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. 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 boutique hotel in Città della Pieve, Umbria, Italy
Daily breakfast at the hotel
Shared meals throughout the week, including all dinners
All group experiences and activities
Truffle hunting with a local guide
Winery visits and tastings
Curated day trips to nearby villages
Private transportation for all planned excursions
An intentionally small group to preserve ease, connection, and quality

Questions We Hear Most
What’s included? Six nights at the four-star Hotel Vannucci in the heart of Città della Pieve, every meal except one lunch on our free day in Orvieto (you’ll wander, shop and eat wherever you like), every guided experience, and transportation from the designated pickup point and on every outing. Your hosts are with you the whole week.
I’ve never traveled abroad. Can I do this? Absolutely. Get your passport in order, book a flight to Rome or Florence, and we’ll take it from there. It’s easier than you think.
Do I need a visa? US citizens don’t need a visa for stays under 90 days. Check whether Europe’s ETIAS travel authorization applies to your dates.
How do I get to Città della Pieve? Fly into Rome (FCO) or Florence (FLR) and take the train to Chiusi-Chianciano Terme, just off the main Rome–Florence line. Transportation from the designated pickup point to the hotel is included. Prefer to be met at the airport? We can arrange a direct transfer for an additional fee.
What if my train is late? It’s rarely a problem. Another train usually comes within the hour. Just message us and we’ll adjust your pickup.
Can I come on my own? Please do. We only put friends or family in a shared room, so solo guests always have their own room.
What if my plans change? Your deposit is non-refundable, but it can always be transferred to a friend or to a future Che Vita trip. We strongly recommend travel insurance for peace of mind.
Who will I be traveling with? Shaye and Stuart Elliott host every Che Vita week in person. We’re not a booking agency. We’ve been returning to Italy for nearly twenty years, and many of the experiences come through personal friendships and can’t be booked by the public.
A Few Practical Notes
International flights, travel to the designated pickup location, and travel insurance are not included.
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind. If you choose to omit travel insurance, we will require you to sign a waiver.
Guests must be 16 or older, and guests under 18 must travel with a parent or guardian. If you have any mobility, health, or dietary considerations, please reach out — we’re happy to talk through what will make the week most comfortable for you.
We’re so looking forward to welcoming you.
If this feels like the right next step, you may submit your deposit below to confirm your place. If you have any remaining questions before doing so, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We’re honored to host you for this week in Umbria.
Salute,
Shaye & Stuart
