THE PERFECT VACATION FOR ITALIAN FOOD FANS

THE MONTALERO 5 DAY EXPERIENCE

Best 5-days in Italy

What an amazing experience. I learned so many “secrets” to making true Italian food. The hospitality is second to none, the food, the trips to places you’d never know about if you were doing it on your own.

(Bruce J, Sep 2023)

All-inclusive experience

I’m torn by even writing a review in fear of flooding such an experience with crowds, but it was just too good. I was admittedly a little worried by the cost, but it was more than worth it. It is all-inclusive and everything (food, drink, lodging, classes, etc.) is covered from beginning to end.

Amazing Memories

The experience at Montalero Cookery is just fabulous. From the food and wine to the daily excursions, and of course the amazing cooking sessions, what they offer is truely unique and very special. Would absolutely recommend and plan to visit again!
