Enjoy an Italian cooking holiday in the heart of the Prosecco wine area in the Veneto. Stay in our beautifully restored farmhouse, where Antonella will teach you how to prepare wonderful meals at home. Her philosophy is that food is central to life; it should be full of flavour, beautifully presented, and eaten in a pleasing, relaxing ambience. It shouldn’t be necessary to spend hours in preparation either; all it needs are the right skills and attitude. It’s a question of lifestyle. Come and learn the ‘arte culinaria’.
