italian holidays with a difference

the sweet living olive l’oliva dolce vita

 

Come and join us for week of the sweet life in the magnificent Villa Pianciani, just outside Spoleto in Umbria
(1.5 hrs northeast of Rome). Enjoy learning some of the secrets of Italian cooking, sample fresh, local and
seasonal produce - olive oil, wine and more. Walk amongst the olive groves and don’t forget the wonderful
virtually 360 degree views over the surrounding countryside.

Pick up the odd Italian phrase - know the difference between a vespa (wasp, and THE famous scooter)
and an ape (bee; also the typical tiny 3-wheeled vehicle suited for the narrowest of Italian village streets)?
Try your hand at briscola (Italian card game), explore frescoes and cobbled streets in Assisi or Spello,
and every now and then pinch yourself that you really are, albeit momentarily, living the sweet life in Italy!!
