The first two cooking holidays I went on with Flavours were amazing experiences. The chefs were very knowledgeable, the cooking lessons lasting around 3 hours each and covered starter, main courses, side dishes, sweets and desserts, it was extremely interesting and interactive. The meals we didn’t...
It is truly regrettable that I find myself writing this review about a much-anticipated Tuscan Italian Language Course Holiday with Flavours Holidays, on 17th - 24th June 2023, which has left me feeling cheated out of the £2,000+ cost and disappointed by customer service.
The catalogue of issues are...
Superb week away in Sicily. Of course, being with a nice group helps, but the Flavours staff could't have been more helpful, and the week was a nice mix of downtime, tours, and cooking.
I particularly liked that most of the dishes we learned were local specialities that you're not going to find ...
I have now been on three Flavours Italian holidays, waiting to go on my fourth in a few months. Nothing is too much trouble for the Flavours team, from arriving at the airport to departure and all the booking process beforehand. The venues have all been superb, in beautiful locations and the hosts...
I've been on two Pilates holidays with Flavours - once to Sicily and once to Puglia and I will certainly book another holiday with them. The locations are fabulous with lots of interesting trips as well as plenty of time to relax by the pool, the food (and wine!) is great and you will make lots of n...
AVOID FLAVOURS HOLIDAYS AT ALL COST
I was to be part of a group going to Sicily this September. Due to C-19 some of my friends were not comfortable so asked if it could be pushed back a year, with the deposit used for 2021.
When we booked Flavours could not have been nicer and more helpful. Howeve...
I went on a 7day Italian Cookery holiday in Puglia. I cannot recommend the whole experience highly enough. It was my first holiday of this type and the staff in the Edinburgh office patiently and, it turned out, accurately, answered every question I had so I was properly prepared for the trip.
Once...
Nice location, had lunch there, ample parking & service was ok
I am a well seasoned traveler with Flavours Holidays mostly cookery, one cannot say enough on the experience from the word go, booking made so easy by really friendly office staff ready and willing to help.
The venues are truly amazing picked for the beauty of the building and the surroundings the ...
Rwally friendly helpful staff. Great holidays - niche market.
I'd never been on a villa holiday before and thought I might be bored as the villa was deep in the countryside but I had one of the best holidays ever. It was a perfect combination of being spoilt by our host, learning Italian, great food and wine, socialising with some lovely, interesting people ...
A wonderful seven days in beautiful Tuscany. Everything ran like clockwork from the especially arranged pick up from Florence Airport to the drop off (again, just arranged for me) at Downtown Florence to pick up my hire car. The watercolour painting classes with Hugh Tuckerman were inspirational, th...
Kind, amazing trips to discover Eataly... Eat well, travel well, live well
An amazing cooking holiday! I learnt to cook so many dishes from guinea fowl to biscotti in just 3 days! Wonderful chef and host, beautiful villa and great company. I highly recommend it!
I absolutely loved my week-long Flavours Holidays cooking vacation in Puglia, Italy. Not only did I learn how to make many regional dishes with the help of Chef Antonio, I came away with a feeling of having seen the real Puglia, as our holiday included visits to four of the towns in the area.
