Location

You’ll stay in a pretty, newly renovated junior suite right above the cookery school with spectacular views of Lake Garda. Located near the historical Torri del Benaco, a lovely town on the shores of the clear blue waters of Lake Garda just 100 metres from the beautiful beach, learn to cook in a professional restaurant kitchen with friendly and professional Chef Andrea and host Lara.

Torri del Benaco is ideally positioned for exploring Lake Garda. A car-ferry operates frequently taking you to the western shore where you can explore historic lakeside villages. The eastern side of the lake is dominated by the magnificent Monte Baldo, also known as ‘The Garden of Europe’ where an ultra modern cable-car takes you to the top of the mountain in just a few minutes.

Getting there

Please note that prices for the holidays do not include travel or flights.

The cookery school is situated in a small village called Albisano which is on Lake Garda.
