If you love Italian food and you are either an experienced cook or an absolute beginner, one of the best things that you can do on vacation in Italy is to book a cooking lesson with a local. This is the ideal way to learn more about Italian cooking in order to savour it and deepen your understanding and appreciation of the flavours. Of course, it is also a great idea if you want to be able to recreate some of the delicious things that you have been enjoying on holiday in Italy with an authentic flare once you return home. 

Nestled not far from the border between Umbria and Tuscany, the charming town of Città della Pieve is the birthplace of the famous Renaissance painter Il Perugino and is a medieval gem with winding streets, historic buildings, and panoramic views over the famously lush and lovely landscapes of Lake Trasimeno and the Val di Chiana. For those who want to experience a quintessentially Italian and picturesque spot, as well as the best of both regions, and to plan easy day-trips to the likes of Perugia, Cortona, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Assisi, Florence, and more, then it is a truly perfect base for your holiday in Italy. And, if you are after a vacation rental in Umbria that is equally charming, quintessentially Italian, and lovely in its own right, then Charming Apartment Cartoni is the ideal option!
