Val d'Orcia is the UNESCO World Heritage off-the-beaten-path part of Tuscany that's featured in movies like "Gladiator," "The English Patient," and Franco Zefferelli's "Romeo and Juliet," and the recent Netflix series, "Medici." The soft, rolling hillsides with its endless olive groves, tumbling vineyards and stoic cypress trees make one feel as though they are immersed in a Renaissance painting.

We will stay at a villa which is part of a larger, family-owned estate. An hour and a half from Florence, and fifteen minutes from Montalcino (renowned for its rich Brunello wine) the villa is nestled amid some of the world's most inspiring landscapes. Surrounded by the family's olive groves and 900 hectares of vineyards and several panoramic sitting areas, the grounds are perfect for plenty of peace and quiet...a great place to dance like nobody's watching.

For five days and nights, we'll embrace slow travel, engaging in authentic ways with the region's art, history, cuisine, landscapes and people. Throughout the week we'll be treated to Stella's incredible voice and presence during our daily excursions and in the evenings during intimate jazz sessions. Designed to be a soul-nourishing, sensory week, on this retreat you will let go of the demands of your days and be taken care of while enjoying the company of other like-minded, jazz and wine-loving people.
