As those of you who had signed up for the 2020 Retreats we were offering know, those Retreats have been postponed until September 2021.

We are now offering the same two retreats with the same itineraries during the same weeks as were offered in 2020. Eat, Sip & Connect Under the Sicilian Sun is being advertised for the week of September 12 – 18. Yoga, Food, Wine & Fun in Glorious Portugal is being advertised for the week of September 19 – 25.

We do have several added features for 2021 to each retreat.

• We have arranged for personal chefs in both venues. These chefs and their lovely assistants will prepare and serve our dinners each evening;
• We have arranged for a personal massage therapist to be available to our guests in both venues;
• There will be Reiki Healing available for our guests in both venues;
• In addition to the excursions offered in Sicily, we have added a half-day excursion to the Catania Fish Market. While we are at the fish market, we will purchase the ingredients for that evenings dinner which will be prepared by our chef;
• In addition to the excursions offered in Portugal, we have added two optional excursions. A tour of the Old City of Porto and a half-day excursion to the Barcelos Thursday Market.

We also have some other exciting news! We have brought on two new partners!

Elio Catanzaro is the owner of Amazing Sicily and the most extraordinary tour planner and director. He will be setting up our excursions and will be our tour guide on all our retreats.

Salvo Scalia is our photographer and videographer. His work is outstanding as you can see on our new website and Instagram posts. Going forward, Salvo will be working with us capturing special moments on film.

Our new website is live and we would like to invite you to check it out by clicking on https://charetreats.com/

And finally, since COVID-19 is still threatening all of us, should we not be able to travel to Europe in 2021; We will refund all monies paid including your deposit. Or if you choose, we will transfer your reservation and monies paid to the postponed date grandfathering your 2021 rate.
