Along a beautiful avenue, full of tall trees among whose fronds rays of light draw the path, you suddenly see your destination appear. It looks like a simple and beautiful home, but it’s actually also the beginning of an amazing cooking experience.
In front of the door, waiting for you, you will see Marilena, a former Roman psychology professor and now a passionate lover of nature and the products of the earth, who has chosen to move to Puglia to devote herself to permaculture.

For one day she will be your personal guide on a journey of smells, colors and flavours. She guides you through the rows of her organic garden, choosing ripe seasonal herbs and vegetables with you to cook lunch. Enter her kitchen, an incredibly welcoming place where a pot of hot water already boils on the stove to cook the pasta, while you prepare the sauce together with Marilena.

Walking around her house is an incredible dive into Italian history and culture: frescoes, antique furniture and small antiques welcome you at the table. Olive trees and lush fruit trees await you in the garden, where you can enjoy the silence and peace of this fantastic corner of the world between coffee and chat.

Relax for a day: you are in Italy and nothing else matters.

“An experience that connects you with the people and the flavours of the place.”
