Italy
has been a favorite place for travelers for hundreds of years,
and of all the regions Tuscany is perhaps the richest in history
and culture. More recently Cortona too has gained in popularity
though it was always been known as one of the more interesting
towns, even back in the early sixties when Jonathan Arthur first
came to Italy.
The
city was founded by the Etruscans around 700 BC and has been
continually inhabited ever since. The surrounding countryside
of olive groves, vineyards, wheat fields and grazing sheep provide
the raw materials for the famous Tuscan cuisine.

Look
up Cooking Holiday Italy on Google and there are 247,000 relevant
sites and 32 sponsored links. So plenty to choose from. Those
organised by Italy With Relish however are truly unique, the
result of many years experience and fine tuning. The result
is some very different holidays designed to give visitors the
best possible experience and the best value. They give plenty
of time to learn or to laze, to cook and create or slow down
and snooze. All well away from the tourist trail.
"When
designing a holiday I try to imagine that a group of my best
friends has arrived and I want to show them a great time."
~ Jonathan Arthur
