Welcome to Calabria—the toe of Italy’s boot, where meals stretch long, laughter comes easily and life feels beautifully uncomplicated.
For six nights, we’ll settle into a slower rhythm shaped by movement, incredible food, hands-on cooking, local culture and plenty of time around the table.
This is a week for pleasure without guilt, connection without effort and remembering that sometimes the best thing you can do is simply enjoy your life.
NOV 1-7, 2027
CALABRIA, ITALY
6 NIGHTS
HANNAH MCKITRICK + CHRISTINE CUNNING
Mornings begin slowly—with meditation, movement and breakfast. From there, the day might lead to the kitchen, a winery, a nearby town or a long meal that becomes the afternoon.
There is time to explore and time to do absolutely nothing. Time to learn something new, gather around the table and stay for one more glass, one more story, one more course.
Nothing rushed. Everything savored.
