Our experience at Villa 97 was much more special than we expected. We chose to do the private tour and it was an excellent decision, because we were able to enjoy each place at our own pace, without the rush of a traditional tour. Everything felt much more intimate and personalized. But, without a doubt, one of my favorite parts was the cooking class. 🥰 It wasn't just learning to prepare a dish, but getting to know a little bit more about the culture through its flavors, sharing, laughing, and enjoying something different. I loved that they explained each step to us with such patience and that at the end we could sit down to enjoy what we had prepared. What I value most is that feeling of being made to feel welcome, as if you weren't just another guest. There are beautiful places you visit and then forget, but Villa 97 left us with the kind of memories you recount when talking about a trip. I would definitely recommend experiencing the private tour and, especially, giving yourself the opportunity to take the cooking class. ❤️ An authentic, warm, and very beautiful experience.
