Tuscany in June

If you re a single traveler like me you really can t beat these holidays This was my 5th holiday with Flavours The villa in Tuscany was beautiful our host Sara and Chef Frederico were excellent We had a lovely mix of people same on all my previous trips The villas tend to be quite remote but we had 4 trips out to local towns so it was a lovely mix Our Pilates teacher was lovely and you don t have to be an expert You can take part or relax all day by the pool We had a couple of small niggles but overall I had a great time

Another great holiday and lovely people from all walks of life

Recently returned from Pilates in Seville and another great holiday with Flavours A fantastic mix of lovely people great tutor Rebecca great hosts and a super balance of learning a new skill excursions relaxation and good food what more could you want I have done a few of the flavours holidays - painting taster cooking and now pilates I have had no prior experience with painting photography pilates and felt the sessions catered for a mix of levels including newbies like myself Travelling alone can be daunting but the staff at flavours make it easy for you and it s lovely meeting new people from all walks of life and feeling well looked after by your group It works for me and I would certainly recommend this lovely experience

Delightful Tuscan Cooking Holiday

I went on a short cooking trip to Tuscany in March and I had a wonderful time met some wonderful people and ate some delicious food The villa was lovely the area secluded and peaceful a bit like something out of a Tuscan recipe book I would say that the cooking wasn t as hands on as I was expecting but still very good Carlo was our chef and our hostess was Sara Both were delightful and Sara couldn t do more for us she was so kind and attentive The pick up from the airport went really smoothly and it was nice not to have to think or worry about anything other than just turning up

A fantastic holiday with great company

A fantastic holiday with great company and an excellent host and chef We could not have been better looked after with fantastic food and drink Would recommend to anyone who enjoys cooking and good food

Pilates in Puglia

I really cannot find any faults with this trip It was well organised nothing was too much trouble The meals at the villa were delicious with high quality local ingredients prepared by Mina there was always more if we wanted Valentina our host also the area manager is extremely knowledgeable a brilliant friendly host Our Pilates teacher Susan is a great teacher friendly supportive to us all The gardens pool were immaculate with the gardener there early mornings keeping it all beautiful he also made us lots of different pizzas on the last evening The boat trip was beautiful with Frederico serenading us on his guitar prosecco snacks provided All the outings to various towns tratorrias were fascinating meals excellent As a group of 5 plus Susan who was treated the same as the guests we very quickly developed a lovely friendship hope to meet up again I would certainly recommend this Pilates in Puglia trip with Flavours

The holiday exceeded my expectations

The holiday exceeded my expectations the accommodation was a delightful converted farmhouse complete with ancient olive trees and a swimming pool The cooking experience was fun and interesting as well as informative We then ate at lunch time what we had prepared in the morning There were a couple of trips out which were well organised and combined lovely meals and wine

Taster holiday to Morocco

Taster holiday to Morocco An amazing experience every day Just a small group of 8 in a villa We were well looked after throughout Excellent food and drink All the activities and days out were well planned and different from a rooftop lunch in the Atlas Mountains to a cookery lesson in Marrakesh and so much more Guides looked after us on our days out and helped to make it a very special holiday Will definitely book with Flavours again

Festive cooking short break in Venice

I went on a short break Festive cooking holiday to Venice in December The villa was very comfortable and I had my own en suite room The no single supplement is a bonus Our host and chef welcomed us and couldn t do enough to ensure we had an enjoyable experience Our chef was knowledgable and professional and as a small group of 8 we enjoyed our cooking lessons Food and wine were plentiful and it was great to be served festive Venetian food Our day in Venice and our Prosecco tasting were great fun Highly recommended

Fantastic trip to Puglia

Fantastic trip to Puglia The villa was amazing and the good weather certainly helped as we could enjoy the beautiful grounds and the pool Monia was a fabulous host and looked after us like family Antonio was a humble and passionate chef and taught us recipes that were true to his heart and the region The balance of cooking and free time was just right we had time to relax in the sun in the afternoons which was well needed after a delicious lunch and wines Our group was a total mix of ages and we found our happy early in the week which made it a pleasure to share this experience among new friends of which we are still all in touch I would recommend flavours and consider another holiday once I have lost at least a stone
