While guidebooks recommend the same months, sending travellers to the same overcrowded monuments and big name producers that run tourists through on loop, you will be visiting small local food producers, watching artisans create generations old pasta making tools, eating food we have prepared from what we have foraged from he mountains that day! I have also selected the perfect weeks for travel to take the guess work out of when you should visit my beautiful little village.

 

This is Italy’s true rhythm—intimate tables, local producers, and the kind of regional specialties you won’t find anywhere else.

 

There is no rushing between our daily activities.

 

No unpacking and repacking every few nights, you will be staying the week at Il Mulino, nestled along the Taro–Ceno River, in the picturesque comune of Masanti

 

No feeling like another number in a sea of tourists on a big commercial bus, just you me and the rest of our small group of like minded travellers.

 

We will Forage the mountains for what is in season, cook what we find, visit local artisans, wineries and cheesemakers, bake bread, wine & dine and live like an Italian in my home village. If your looking for an authentic holiday with a true and deep connection to your food and the people you are travelling with, my retreat if perfect for you!
