Our retreats are designed to offer you an unforgettable experience with activities tailored to nourish both body and soul.
The following Weekend Retreats will be running from September to December, 2024.
The main aim of this weekend is to gather around our incredible cooking island made by Officine Gullo in Florence and dive into a culinary world, discovering new recipes from local Cypriot and Mediterranean cuisine.
Cook under the supervision of invited chefs as they share their secrets and experience, all while using the freshest seasonal ingredients and the best kitchenware.
Attend master classes with an etiquette specialist, a certified sommelier, and a table decorating expert.
This event will be conducted in English and Russian, with Mary available for translation. English and Ukrainian language groups are available upon request.
Learn how to bake sourdough bread from A to Z with our sourdough queen, Valeria, who successfully runs a homemade bakery in the United Kingdom.
The two-day sourdough bread-making workshop includes making your own starter and learning various recipes such as focaccia, grissini, crackers, and loaf.
Gather for “bread talks” around a beautiful outdoor cooking island by Officine Gullo and bespoke Lofra 1956 Italian ovens.
Cook dishes to accompany freshly baked bread (pates, salads, preserves, and homemade butter) and watch a demonstrationof Cypriot pita bread baking in a traditional wood oven.
Enjoy a picnic with freshly baked focaccia in a picturesque setting, relaxing and savoring the sunset as part of the “art of slow living.”
