italian holidays with a difference

from pasta (not Giuditta!!) to Puccini

This is not a conventional week, even by Quirky Olive standards! We have an Italian soprano, a Brazilian tenor and an Italian pianist as well as the distinct possibility that the highly entertaining Michael Aspinall will join us to add to the fun. So plenty of music…
Then we have an Italian or two who are dab hands at strangozzi, the typical Umbrian pasta dish, and a Brazilian foodie to share the secrets of a good feijoada, and, perhaps, the delights of caipirinha-making (the fruits of which to be enjoyed on the terrace). So too, sumptuous food…
All of this takes place at the historic Villa Pianciani perched upon a hilltop with wonderful views of the Umbrian medieval towns set against the foothills of the Apennines. A most beautiful venue…

Come and indulge - we promise this quirky holiday will be a treat!
