The Amalfi Coast is the darling cover girl of glossy travel magazines for a reason.  It provides breath-taking views of the Mediterranean and a perfect locale for quintessential dolce vita.  Our gourmet experience with Mamma Agata combines life’s great pleasures, food and travel, in a stunning and friendly Italian setting. The itinerary includes daily cooking courses and a private wine tasting, allowing enough leisure time to explore the breathtaking beauty of Amalfi Coast or to simply relax at your five-star home in Ravello...  Additional nights possible.

Meet our chef Mamma Agata and let her share with you insider's secrets and local knowledge -
far beyond the traditional tourist holiday:

Mamma Agata started cooking at the young age of thirteen in the kitchens of a wealthy Ameri-
can lady who owned a summer villa in Ravello.  Since then she has been the chef for many
Hollywood stars such as Humphrey Bogart, Anita Eckberg, Richard Burton, Liz Taylor, Fred As-
taire, Federico Fellini, Jacqueline Kennedy (1962 in Ravello), Marcello Mastroianni, and for in-
ternational writers and politicians such as Susanna Agnelli and Gore Vidal.

Now her cooking classes are held in her 300-year-old country house located on a cliff top
1,000 feet above the sea. Her gracious home overlooks the majestic Amalfi coastline, with
wonderful terraces and a spacious garden full of lemon trees, flowers, vegetables and poultry.
Indeed, nearly all the ingredients that she uses are produced in her kitchen gardens.
