Vakantieverhuur in Bigliolo

The Gulf of the Poets, named after Lord Byron and Shelley who lived here and took inspiration from its beauty, is dominated by Portovenere and the 3 Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto), which all are part of Unesco World Heritage Sites. The 3 small inaccessible Islands are located just in front of Portovenere, the pearl of the Gulf, and are rich in vegetation and animals. Their beauty, especially at the Golden Hour, is breathtaking! With a 1 hour tour, starting from the port of La Spezia (Passeggiata Morin), I'll guide you through the hidden gems of the Gulf and the 3 Islands : • Torre Scola, a 16th century military fort built at the center of the Gulf and damaged during the Napoleonic wars • Portovenere, the true pearl of the Gulf, with it enchanted village and San Pietro ancient romanic church, known as the world's most beautiful one • "Azzurra" grotto in Palmaria, shining gold at sunset • The Tino old-lighthouse, one of the few remaining in Europe • "Madonna Stella Maris" statue emerging from the sea outside Tinetto • The dismissed cableway used until the II World Wars to load the marble from the local quarry • The many unique military installations from the 1st and 2nd World Wars Other things to note We'll wait for you at the boarding point (HopHop Boat - Piattaforma Galleggiante), 5 minutes before the departure time.

This experience will offer you the opportunity to approach the “sacred stone” that  accompanies our work and our lives, shape the Marble by involving all 5 senses: observe the matter, recognize its facets, follow its evolution and enjoy its final transformation, caress it, let it talk to you and guide you in the process, smell its aromas of sun and rain moss. Moisten your lips at the end of the day: you will discover that it will taste new. We'll find us at the meeting point, a place really close to the lab, we'll reach togheter the workshop's area where you'll meet the master sculptor Marco. After the introduction by the master sculptor, who will accompany each participant in the activity, we will proceed to a brief but complete sculpture experience: you will try to work a piece of marble with manual and pneumatic tools. we will have breaks during class hours where you can drink coffee, water or tea, use the toilets, take pictures. Once you become familiar with the subject, you will dedicate the last minutes to the engraving of a marble scale that you can take away as a souvenir of the experience! After the lesson we will take you back to the meeting point. Other things to note If it rains, the experience will be canceled. Please remember that we are on the mountain, the ground is rocky. We have kitchen and toilet. Dangerous behaviors will not be tolerated

What makes our day special are the secret unknown alleys around the hamlets which only a local knows! We walk among the 5 Terre where we see the main attractions & then take less-explored paths where vegetable gardens, vineyards & genuine atmosphere come to life away from crowded souvenir shop areas. I will take you around at least 3 of the 5 hamlets; depends on the time you have! Our day together in paradise starts off in La Spezia (or directly in the 1st village we visit if you're lucky enough to sleep in one of the hamlets!) & we head into the heart of the National Park together by train We will either take a wild nature path between 2 of the hamlets or opt for a "softer" option: walk the villages & the easier short paths around them. We explore the terre where I will tell you about historical, cultural & environmental aspects of life here. Questions appreciated! A break for lunch is a blessing; where depends on you! Either a quick stop in a traditional bistrot, munch focaccia & pizza on a bench with sea view, a complete gastronomic experience in a fresh seafood restaurant or a sensorial wine tasting & light lunch with a renown local sommelier! Our experience usually ends in Monterosso where you may take the ferry back enriching your experience by giving you the chance to see the towns from a different point of view.

Superb hand-made traditional cuisine, whose simple yet precious secrets will be shared in a friendly, homely environment facing the Gulf of Poets. You will have what I had when I was a child at my home: a full immersion experience in the authentic Italian cuisine. Specifically, we will travel together back and forth from Liguria and Campania discovering traditional recepies, made of selected, genuine and local ingredients (and there will be much more than Pesto and tiramisù!). Handmade pasta, cakes, savory pie all easy recipes that you may do again at your home. I like to cook seasonal foods and I love to take fresh vegetables from my garden (when there are)!! We’ll learn how to transform those ingredients in delicious dishes. The cooking lesson will be paired with complementary Italian wine and home-made spirits, which will make your experience unforgettable(!). If you'd like to take a class at a time not avaible, please get in touch, I'll try to schedule you a new slot. For private classes, I can organize vegan or vegetarian lessons! My class can also be offered in italian, of course and I m studing spanish too!! Other things to note I live with my husband and 3 furry friends, 2 dogs, 1 cat. They are very friendly and are ready for snuggles. Please,tell me about your food allergy, or if you are vegetarian when you book the class!
