What to expect
You'll arrive at the villa and meet Chef Francesco, who walks you through the day's menu—typically featuring pasta, seafood, and a dessert using seasonal produce from Sicily's markets. Working in pairs or small groups, you'll chop, mix, and cook under his guidance. Expect hands-on time at the stove and counter; this isn't a demonstration. After about three hours of cooking, you'll transition to the dining area, where you'll enjoy the meal you've prepared together with wine pairings if available. The villa's setting by the water gives the experience a relaxed, social rhythm.
Good to know
The four-hour duration includes cooking and dining. Let the organiser know any dietary needs when booking. The villa is wheelchair accessible. Infants can attend in prams or strollers, and specialised seats are available. Public transport links nearby if you'd prefer independent travel.
