Cooking Lessons!

This was truly a special time to be with my friends at your farm, I would rate the experience at a 10+ Would recommend it to anyone!

Remote location, transportation very difficult to find and extremely expensive. A 1.5 drive from Positano. The family was nice but had I known if the difficulties in finding transportation, the cost and the length of time in transit, I would not have signed up.

We had a wonderfully authentic experience of learning how to make a variety of dishes with an Italian family on their farm/hotel/restaurant. Valentino was very understanding about us being a little late and his main concern was that we were relaxed and served us coffee and water. We started with making tiramisu, then made mozzarella balls with mozzarella made with milk taken from the cow less than one day ago! We finally made two different types of pasta - ravioli and fettuccine. They allowed us to be involved in all parts of the process and explained everything clearly and with humour and character. They also answered all our questions on the ingredients and the preparation process. The best part was Giovanni, our 13 year old teacher, who made the experience even more special. There was no pre-made schedule and they adapted to the people in the class (us and another couple), even making us limoncello spritz when we took a break. After serving us the prepared meals made with the pasta and mozzarella that we had made, they showed us around their farm where we saw the cow, pigs and other animals and got a chance to ask more questions. They also showed us a fantastic view of amalfi from the farm. All in all, it was one of the highlights of our trip and we are grateful to see and learn about some part of the Italian culture and cuisine.

Valentino's cooking class did not dissapoint! Valentino was really welcoming, informative, patient, and taught us how to make amazingly delicious pasta, mozzarella, and tiramissu. He has amazing views of the coast from his farm and even treated us to his homemade wine. Highly recommend if you have time to take one of his classes! 

Excellent cooking and learning experience! The hosts were fantastic! We learned so much about making pasta and cheese. Highly recommend.

The host and his 12 year old son were amazing. We took a short walk to a look out a view of their farm. He picked fresh ingredients for our pasta. From farm to table at its best. We made mozzarella and were able to make balls. We made ravioli and tagliatelle. They gave us wine, sample cheeses, pasta lunch and homemade dessert. They were so nice. You get your hands dirty and involved which we liked.
