I traveled to Soriano last June with CDV & absolutely LOVED my time there. I was a solo traveler & felt welcomed & included in all aspects of the trip. As a cooking instructor, I was looking forward to our cooking times & it did not disappoint! I learned some additional techniques & it was just plain fun. The Villa where we cooked was stunning & I stayed in the most amazing house, Vecchio Forno that was the Pope’s bakery in the 1400s. Each morning, I looked forward to going to the local cafe for my delicious pastry & fresh squeezed OJ & chatting with new friends that lived in Soriano. That was just the beginning of the day! After living & traveling all over the world for years, I can truly say that I have never had so many incredible meals in a row. I could tell that the food was carefully chosen at each location to give us a wide variety of the tastes of Lazio, Umbria, & Tuscany. I loved our excursions & the freedom we had to explore on our own. Our guide was Tomas, & he was engaging & open. I enjoyed asking & learning about his family, life at University, & his friends. He did an amazing job translating some challenging concepts! I was also so grateful for Carla & her team at the Villa that we got to know & enjoyed cooking with. Many people have asked about my time in Italy, & if they are the type of person that would appreciate an immersive travel experience & unbelievable food, I always recommend Culture Discovery Vacations!
