Do this! - We were just two in this experience and this was a highlight of our trip. The family is extremely hospitable. The views, the food and the cultural exchanges were fantastic. Could not recommend more. Price quality is absolutely top notch. Do this!!

Traditional cooking class - The only thing better than the food was the company of Nina, Michel and the group. This was easily the highlight of our time in Albania! It felt like we were invited into their home to prepare dinner, rather than a cooking class. A truly special and unique experience that we highly recommend to others!

Very nice experience and great Company! - Hospitality is through the roof over here! From the moment we have walked up the stairs from the moment we went down we've felt so welcome. The food we've made tasted so good and there was so much of it. We went home completely full. You cook at the home place of Nina, it's so nice and the view is absolutely beautiful!

Great fun in beautiful location - We had a fantastic time! We were driven to Berat Castle where we spent some time preparing the dishes while Nina explained to us details about the food and the technique. Then, we were able to eat them with a glass of wine and admire the view of Mount Tomari!

Amazing experience! - It was an amazing experience with amazing people! Nina and Freddy were very welcoming and the cooking class was a lot of fun. Nina is an amazing cook and Freddy has very good homemade raki :) Their neighbor was there as well for the translation, as they do not speak english very well. But luckily he was there to translate everything, including all of the jokes. Even Though it is not super cheap, the food was abundant so you have enough for the evening as well.

Lovely experience with very good food - We had a lovely time during the cooking class. After a walk in the full sun we arrived at Nina’s where she and her friends took very good care of us. She learned us to make some lovely meals. Everyone was very hospitable and we were provided with everything, including some nice wine. Thank you for the good experience!
