Cortona
Cooking holiday
The
Cooking Cortona residential cooking school is designed
for those who want a real cooking course, in one of the
most beautiful towns in Tuscany on a limited budget.
Any
one who has been to Italy will have noticed the abundance
of Churches and Monasteries, some of these, though still
owned by the church can be rented for holiday accommodation.
The one we use also has a large airy kitchen ideal for
the course.
The
rooms are comfortable, heated and all with en-suite bathrooms,
however being built for monastic contemplation rather
than luxury they lack satellite TV and mini bars. Not
that people spend much of their free time at the convent
as the bustling centre of Cortona with its shops, bars
and restaurants lies just two minutes walk away, down
through the medieval alleys of the town.
All
classes are in the evening, leaving the day free to enjoy
the town and the surrounding area or to take a train to
visit one of the other towns such as Siena, Arezzo or
Orvieto . . . or to visit one of the busy street markets.
There
is also time after the evening cooking classes, for those
who wish, to return to Cortona centre which is still buzzing
until two in the morning.
