Welcome to Italy! Check in at hotel is always after 2 pm.

In the afternoon. Your private Trastevere food tour introduces you to the vast variety of food and drink the Eternal City has to offer. Sample sumptuous local delicacies including steaming suppl1 (fried rice balls oozing with creamy mozzarella), bite into Roman baccala (fried cod - think English fish and chips but so much better) and tuck into some beloved taglio al forno, topped with seasonal hams, vegetables, or cheeses. All that culinary indulgence can be hard work. Which is why you'll build up an appetite exploring Rome's stunning center with your local guide. The tour's highlight is Trastevere: Rome's most romantic neighborhood. Characterized by its worn cobblestone streets and ivy­ coated pastel-colored buildings, it is the most authentic place to try Cucino Romana - typical Roman food - which involves so much more than the usual Italian fare of pizza and pasta.

Our foodie guides are all experts in Italian food and wine. Throughout your food odyssey through Trastevere, they'll navigate you through understanding the complexities of Italian culinary culture as you munch your way through the finest food Rome has to offer.

There are very few remains in the world like those of Matera, which is why in 1993, UNESCO decided to include the park of the rock churches and the two stony districts of the city, Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano, in the list of the heritages of humanity.

The history of Matera dates back to the Paleolithic period. Inhabited since the thirteenth century BC, it is one of the oldest settlements in Italy and in the world. The first inhabitants settled in the caves of the plateau, of which the most famous are the bat cave and the funerary cave, near which numerous artifacts ranging from the Paleolithic to the metal ages have been found. Then the territory was settled by nomadic populations who, finding the ideal habitat for breeding and agriculture, settled there permanently, creating a real housing system dug into the limestone rocks, alternating these interconnected structures with a series of underground labyrinths.

Return to the Masseria for an evening cooking class (dinner at the conclusion of class).

Discover this UNESCO world heritage site visiting its unique Trulli houses and the best traditional Trofie al pesto In town. A dish local to vernazza using traditional Genoa style pesto. We return to the masseria for a wine tasting.
