Taste Rome in a Weekend …… ( and enjoy the Frascati ) !

A unique and exclusive opportunity to discover the people, culture, cuisine and wines of Castelli Romani. Stay in an elegant villa hotel in Frascati, just 25 minutes by train from Rome, and have fun sightseeing and cooking with Chef Fabio who will allow you to have a glimpse behind the scenes in this fascinating and picturesque part of Italy. The following is only a sample itinerary. Programmes, from just one day, can be tailor-made to suit your budget and requirements:

Day One
Pick up from the airport (Ciampino airport)
Transfer to your hotel in Frascati.
Frascati, famous for its wine, and stunning villas from the Renaissance and Barroco periods is one of the most important towns of the Castelli Romani area. Just 20 kilometres from ‘Eternal City’. This four star hotel is situated in pleasant gardens and natural park, in the Frascati hills with wonderful views over Rome.

We organize a visit to an organic farm where you can learn about the process of Mozzarella, then go to other 2 different farms (agriturismi) to buy the products chef will use for the first lesson of cooking that night.

In a private house, you will be entertained by the Chef, who will explain some of the secrets of Italian cuisine, discuss and taste the wonderful Frascati wine,and local cheeses, and work with you to prepare a glorious 4 course dinner, which you will then enjoy, accompanied by a glass or two of Frascati wine. Bed and Breakfast in your hotel.

        

Day Two
After breakfast depart for Rome by train - 25 minutes later you arrive in the hustle and bustle of the Eternal City. Meet with Conny Di Martino - your Personal Shopper. Conny will first spend some time over a cup of coffee discussing the endless possibilities for you to find wonderful clothes, shoes, leather goods in Rome. Clothes to suit your image and shape, your lifestyle and your budget. She will then take you to shops, which no tourist would ever discover, where the choices are wonderful and the prices fair. For those really wishing to have a special time, we can arrange appointments with an image consultant, or stylists, and beauticians or fashion experts in the heart of Rome.

Perhaps some pampering at a stylish spa?  Among the facilities on offer:
