http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33037 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33037 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27208 In summer Rome’s most beautiful piazzas provide the backdrop for a programme of concerts for vocal quartets. Songs from the Roman repertoire and opera arias, with intermezzos on the piano will take tourists on a magical journey through the history of music drama and the best-loved classics of the Italian repertoire.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27208 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17157 I would highly recommend them as my friend and I had a wonderful week and we loved the casual but hugely informative and enjoyable cooking sessions which were great fun and provided loads of insight into real Italian cooking. We actually got to stay in a little home inside the ancient walls of Toffia, (great to feel like one of the locals)! One of the highlights for me was the local olive grove tour as the information provided was interesting and valuable, the tasting delicious, and the whole thing a very welcoming experience.

All in all, they gave us a great balance of cooking, sight-seeing, tours and leisure. Thanks goes to Guido and Sally who run the holidays, for a great week filled with warmth, personal care, refreshing simplicity and a huge helping of inspiration.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17157
