Italian Cookery Course - Puglia
Introduction
Our Italian holiday is ideal for people who love Italian food
and wine, and are as popular with single travellers, both men and
women as couples and friends travelling together. They are also
great birthday presents for the budding Jamie Oliver in the
family!
Cookery Course location
Undiscovered and off the beaten track, Puglia forms the "heel"
of Italy, bordered by the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Ionian
Sea to the south. An ideal location for a gourmet holiday, it has
the longest coast of any Italian region, eight hundred kilometres
of coastline stretching down the Adriatic and around the heel into
the high arch of the lonian Sea and the Gulf of Taranto. This heel
reaches out towards the Eastern Mediterranean, and at times the
landscape has the look and feel of Greece rather than the gentler
Italy of Rome and the North.
Venue
Described as one of the most beautiful houses by the sea (Elle
Décor 2005), we are delighted to have exclusive use of Casino
Pisanelli during May and October each year. (It can also be rented
by private groups at other times of the year)
The property dates back to the 18th Century when it was used by
the local aristocrat, Count Pisanelli as a hunting lodge. It has
recently been lovingly restored using the skills of local craftsmen
and artisans to produce a stunning blend of modern and traditional
Italian style. As well as the swimming pool, cleverly integrated
into the formal gardens, there are also courtyards with lemon and
orange trees - the perfect setting for meals al fresco! Surrounding
the lodge are acres of olive groves which provide delicious extra
virgin olive oil.
