If you want to learn how to make a wonderfully tasting pasta that will impress your family and friends, you MUST take private cooking lessons from Chef Franco!

He will show you step-by-step how to make wonderful dishes that are simple and not time consuming. The happy atmosphere that he and his sous chef Antonio create makes Italian cooking fun and easy to learn.

If you do not know how to speak any Italian do not worry. By the time you are finished you will know a few more words and your way around La Cucina (The Kitchen). The best part of the class is that you get to taste what you eat – DELICIOUS! And, the dish you make will be a part of the evening’s menu.

This class is for those who want to experience and learn some basic steps to real authentic Italian cooking Amalfi Coast Style! Buon Appetito!

June, 2005

I spent 11 glorious days at the Hotel Onda Verde in Praiano, Italia. It was my first time to Italy and I am pleased to have found such a wonderful pearl inside this great Oyster. For those who are looking for a great experience that is affordable, this is the place for you. Below, I will give you the absolute reasons why you should stay at this place.

1. Friendly Atmosphere: The Milano Family who owns and operates Hotel Onda Verde welcomes you as a part of their family. They treat with with the utmost respect and give you the privacy you need, but also look out for you to make sure you are enjoying yourself.
2. Helpful and Knowledgeable: You want to stay at a place that has a choc' full of information on where to go, how to get there and what to do? Again, since the family has been there forever, they know everything there is to know. You want to count on this reliability.
3. Tasteful Rooms and Heavenly Balcony Views: I traveled alone and stayed in a room fit perfectly for me. My balcony was where I could just relax and view the Mediterranean Sea. The sea views take you away to another place. You can just chill right out listening to the waves wash gently and strongly against the rocks and the beach. The view of the boats from my room was pleasant to look at. Fisherman would go out and those with speed boats would ride by every day. The rooms are clean and the cleaning service is great! The rooms and everything is fresh. Adequate linens.
4. Restaurant: Chef Franco and his sous Chef Antonio are excellent artists of cookery. They make every dinner evening taste magnificant. They serve you more than enough food. YOU WILL NOT LEAVE THE TABLE HUNGRY EVER! The food is totally authentic Italian cooking. The Desserts are delicious and the fruits are freshly picked from their garden. Fruit served on ice is a great way to enjoy for the summer.
5. Restauant View: Imagine having dinner on a cliff over looking the Sea. You can not beat that. I ate dinner outside every night. I could not resist it at all.
6. Other Benefits:
   • Meeting New Friends: While you may be solo or on a romantic getaway, you will meet wonderful couples from around the world who share in your experience and feeling about the Hotel Onda Verde. You are able to chat late into the night about many things and for those who drink wine, you will enjoy the best bottles of Vino on the Amalfi Coast under the stars. I do not drink, so there are many other things to consume. Limoncello is a favorite in this region, so for those who want to try something sweet and sour, this is for you.
   • Cooking School: I am a great cook and wanted to learn more about Authentic Italian cooking. Chef Franco taught me how to make 2 pasta dishes and a dessert. All three items were served at dinner. This was a great added benefit for me and it will be for those who DO NOT WANT TO experience large groups for training.
   • You will learn some Italian: Even if you only speak one language, you will learn a number of words while staying here. I happen to have a certain level of Italian and French and I must say that my Italian improved tremendously in the two weeks I was there.
   • Beautiful People Up and Down the Coast: This part of Italy has some of the most beautiful people in the world. I mean from a physical standpoint. Ladies be prepared to experience the melody and lyrics of these men. They will definitely boost your ego and if your husband or boyfriend is not paying attention to you while you are visiting. He will after you smile from hearing sweet Italian words from a Georgous man. Ladies, pay attention to your men too, the women are beautiful. Aside from the physical aspect of the people, everyone says Good morning to you in Italian and does their level best to try and help you get around. A warm place, full of warm people.

All in all, I would come back to Hotel Onda Verde again and again and again. It is my choice for a great hotel. You want to stay at a place where people work hard to please YOU!

My name is Yvonne R. Davis of Windsor, Connecticut, USA and I stand by all of these words!
