Cooking in the Kitchens of Pontelandolfo

Explore, Eat,  Laugh!  

​

That is exactly what happens each time a group of culinary and cultural adventurers  come to Pontelandolfo. After absorbing Italian village life through visits to kitchens, playing bocce, dancing with the folkloric group, urban trekking, farm to table eating, market day and bar life our guests feel like they have lived here forever.  Pontelandolfo – to us – is an example of the best that Italy has to offer.  No backpack swinging tourists. No overpriced cappuccinos. Simply incredible mountain views, fresh foods cooked seasonally, a population that embraces life with joy and a welcoming attitude that surrounds all newcomers.

​

Cooking in the Kitchens of Pontelandolfo was an idea floating around a kitchen table. How could we bring some tourism money to Southern Italy and not promote the town into another jammed packed tourist site?

 

The "ah-ha" moment came when a visitor said to Midge, I would love to just spend a week living here like the "Pontelandolfese." Bingo!  In 2015, thanks to a group of savvy homemakers, this incredible opportunity for folks who love to cook and travel off the beaten tourist track was born.  

​

The success of the program has been made possible with the help of the business owners, men and women of Pontelandolfo who have adopted each guest as a member of the family.

​

Visitors have been Exploring, Eating and Laughing ever since we produced our first event in May, 2016!  The program has grown beyond cooking. The 2024 "Write Where You Are" playwrights retreat was so successful it is being repeated in 2025 along with a writer's retreat and an arts retreat.​
