My Story:

Once long ago I travelled to the Amalfi Coast. It’s one of the most magical places on earth. I remember the first time I experienced it. The hairpin curves, the amazing scenery, the sun drenched coast, where the hills meet the sea. It’s one of the most dazzling places in the world!

This is more than a tour – it’s a glimpse into Italian life

that your will savor forever.

This is where  I found my Italian family and the place I return to again and again.   Winding up in the hills above Positano I returned to Montepertuso for cooking classes at Il Ritrovo, a beautiful restaurant overlooking the church, the sea the town in the hills above Positano. Salvatore and his aunt, Zia Marilu ran the culinary school, they were our guides. They joked I could come back to work and I jumped at the chance. They didn’t have to ask twice. Steve and I laugh at the fact, we go on vacation and I arrange to work – and now I go back as often as I can. It’s not work work – it’s a way of life. Each time I visit I learn so much from them. I come home refreshed, relaxed and renewed.Living and working amongst the Italians has given me so much. Through this experience I’ve found a new family and more importantly I’m part of their Italian table. It’s the most colorful, vibrant table I’ve ever seen. It’s added such color to my life and I bring a piece of it home every time I visit.

Have you always dreamed of experiencing this?

I’ve developed a tour that will introduce you to my Italian family. You will visit some of the most beautiful places on earth.

Close your eyes and imagine savoring a glass of wine overlooking the sea, sipping a café on the piazza then joining the Italians for an evening stroll, or learning the secrets of authentic Italian cuisine from my Zia Marilu, the  Italian Nonna you’ve always pictured!
