Looking for a special, gourmet vacation experience in a beautiful and relaxing destination? Consider the romatic Moorish quarter of Granada, Spain, the serene wilderness of Nova Scotia, Canada, the gorgeous mountains of central Costa Rica in Central America, or the cultural bounty and historical richness of Turkey. All programs from APL International Cooking Schools offer all-inclusive getaways and customized options for groups. Our extraordinary instructors specialize in hands-on food knowledge and ingredients-based cookery. See the columns below for more information . .

Because Italy is about much more than food, we strive to offer you a complete experience through our network of Italian friends, all of whom are eager to share their love of country and rich traditions. Through our extensive network of friends amassed over our many years of visiting, we are able to provide you with true insider experiences - not the usual "tourist" fare.

To maximize the experience we have professional guides for museum & city tours. We also visit culturally significant sites: Pompeii, Vatican, Uffizi, Ostia Antica, Monreale. In addition we include local events such as festivals, musical performances, or private parties. Whenever possible we hold cooking classes in homes where we catch a glimpse of authentic Italian life.
