Your experience

Imagine arriving at Villa Durazzo, in the heart of Santa Margherita Ligure, and feeling like you've stepped straight into an 18th-century postcard. This historic villa overlooking the Gulf of Tigullio is more than just a location – it’s our stage for taste, where flavors, stories, and landscapes blend into a truly unique experience. What the experience includes: traditional preparation of Genoese pesto using a mortar and pestle, tasting of the freshly made pesto with trofie pasta, a glass of local wine for each guest. Set among frescoes, crystal chandeliers, and marble floors, the cooking class is a celebration of Ligurian flavors. When the we ather is kind, it continues outdoors in the Italian-style garden, surrounded by lemons, palms, and stunning views. A true taste of Liguria!
