The Workshops
Enrich your experience with workshops held at the villa that will enhance your cooking skills, limber you up, and deepen your appreciation of this magical sojourn.
Italian Cooking Workshop
What better way to experience a culture than by preparing its signature dishes? Under the guidance of local chef Chantal Malambri you will learn traditional Italian cooking -- rich classic sauces, traditional dishes gnocchi and ravioli, and fruity, creamy desserts. Then gather around the table with a few bottles of local wine and loaves of artisanal bread and share the meal you have prepared. You will return home with authentic village recipes to wow your family and friends.
Yoga
Limber up with a Hatha Yoga session under sunny Italian skies or deeply relax at sunset with meditative yoga. Certified yoga teacher Gabriella Long will prepare you for an active day or easily wind down for a tranquil evening. She also offers massages and other holistic treatments at an extra fee.
Journaling Workshop
Every day, your adventure offers up a sensory feast. How can you best process, retain, and share all those marvelous experiences? One way is by journaling --- putting on paper your impressions and emotions. The journaling evening is led by award-winning journalist and author Judith Reitman, who can help you frame with words your personal journey.
