Episode 02: Italian Family Home Cooking Classes: Convivio Rome Italian Cooking Holidays

Show Notes

Maintaining the authenticity of serene landscapes and medieval hilltop villages, Sabina and the village of Toffia offer gorgeous sweeping views, and yet remain unspoiled by mass tourism. It is here you will find Convivio Rome Italian Cooking Holidays. A small, local business, specializing in Italian cooking classes and culinary activities, Convivio is committed to environmentally sustainable and socially responsible culinary tourism.

Owned by Sally and Guido, Convivio was born from their love of Italian cuisine and fueled by the desire of tourists to learn Italian cooking. The historically rich Sabina (also known as Sabine Hills) was their location of choice to live and create Convivio. With its off-the-beaten path, yet easily accessible locale, Sabina creates the perfect environment for slow travel experiences. These hills are steeped in beauty and tradition, and local artisans share their passions with visitors. It is this authentic sharing that Convivio keeps center-most in each thoughtfully designed tour. It is in their heart to make memories that last and connections that live on.
