Sorrento and coast

Here one of Italy’s most amazing coastal roads winds above spectacularly sheer cliffs overlooking the azure ocean below. This cooking school tour adventure takes you to Sorrento, Capri, Naples and the Amalfi Coast on an odyssey that showcases a romantic and wistful Italy in all its glory.

You'll stay Camilla’s family B & B, set amid orange trees just outside Sorrento, an hour south of Naples. You’ll be enchanted with your family hosts, Giuseppe, Agostino and Laura who will soon make you feel like old friends.

The B & B is just five minutes walking to the beach on the beautiful Bay of Naples and a 15 minute walk to Sorrento with its tempting bakeries, shops and pretty piazzas.

Neapolitan pasta

You’ll enjoy cooking classes with retired professional chef Biagio and his chef assistants who share their regional secrets for preparing mouthwatering local dishes like seafood risotto, large baked calamari with seafood filling and cherry tomatoes, mussels impepata soup (boiled with black pepper and covered with fresh squeezed lemon juice) and lemon tarts.

Positano on the Amalfi Coast

On the Amalfi Coast, picturesque Positano awaits with its spectacular beach and multi-colored houses on terraces on the cliff-side. Enjoy an evening cocktail as the sun sets over the azure blue ocean below.

At the oldest olive oil producers in Sorrento, you join a family member on a walk through olive groves, breathing in the rural air. Learn how the granite wheel was traditionally used to make olive oil and how it is produced today.

Between Camilla’s relaxing B&B, fun loving local people, authentic cooking classes and spectacular natural surroundings, you’ll leave relaxed, refreshed and happy from a journey that meets your needs on so many levels.
