What the Cascina Papaveri is
- A small working farm with certified organic vineyard and vegetable gardens producing Barbera wine and fresh herbs and vegetables.
- A boutique 5 bedroom Agriturismo or lodge with luxurious 5 star standard bedrooms, bathrooms, guest facilities and recreational complex.
-
A special interest resort offering both Culinary experiences and Pilates in fully inclusive vacations complete with an endless supply of excellent Piemontese wines and superb Italian food.
- A world class retreat featuring a fully equipped Balanced Body Pilates studio and adjoining mat work and dance studio, plus a large fully equipped dream teaching kitchen.
What the Cascina Papaveri is not.
- Cascina Papaveri is not a hotel, there is no reception desk, room service or mini bars in the bedrooms. Guests are treated as house guests with full access to all facilities including the self service bar.
-
The Culinary Experiences sessions are not structured as with some cooking school where everything is prepared in advance. Chef Gino Minacapilli's sessions are designed to show you how to select and prepare ingredients in addition to just cooking them.
-
We are not a boot camp! Because everything takes place on the property (guests are not driven between different venues to do different activities) guests have the flexibility to skip any or all the Culinary Experiences and Pilates sessions, chill out, walk down to the village or go off for the day, the choice is yours.
