With flights to Rome and other major Italian cities becoming cheaper and more accessible, cooking holidays are helping to lure budding chefs to picturesque locations around the country.
Many of these cottages, vineyards and villas are within easy reach of airports, meaning you could take advantage of cheap flights to Rome and a variety of other destinations in order to reach them, most of which will offer a pickup service from the airport for a small fee.
Cooking holidays can range from a few days to a week, depending on location, and your accommodation is usually included in the price of the package. Every day you get to try and prepare a dish from the region, under the watchful eye of a professional chef, and then get the chance to sample what youтЂ™ve cooked in a dinner at the end of the day тЂ“ along with a little of the local wine.
For those who are looking to combine exercise with cookery, there are many packages out there which combine the two. Well-being holidays are useful for those who want to take time out to relax in idyllic settings, including mountainside retreats and villas along the coast.
You could, of course, combine your stay with a city break, perhaps hotels in Rome or other cities in order to prolong your Italian excursion.
