Description |
|
About
the location: L'Albereta, a luxurious 19th century converted
villa in Franciacorta, Lombardy is a member of the prestigious
Relais & Chateaux group, and presently owned by the Moretti
family, who also own the Bellavista vineyards, which produce one
of the finest spumantis in Italy. The villa, transformed into a
deluxe hotel, is situated in the hills, between the Alps and
Lake Iseo, a region where the great wines of Franciacorta are
produced. The landscape
surrounding this Lombardy culinary vacation is magical, and the
area is a microclimate, with mild temperatures. The hotel has an
indoor/outdoor pool with Jacuzzi, sauna, solarium, tennis,
health trail, and close access to golf, horseback riding,
sailing and windsurfing.
About the cooking lessons: The hotel hosts the two star Michelin
Ristorante Gualtiero Marchesi- arguably the most famous chef in
all of Italy- where you will be treated to a gourmet dinner of
menu degustation. Your cooking courses will be held in a local,
well-known restaurant, where you will have the opportunity to
participate in hands-on classes of preparation of dishes of
local Northern cuisine.
