We welcome a steady stream of visitors to our holiday houses in historic Capena, close to Rome. Most are content to soak up local colour, visit Rome and its surroundings, laze in the nearby pools and eat in the fabulous restaurants, but some would like to do a little more. Corsi Capena is designed for them.

The courses are ideal for a group of 4 to 8 people. You can choose between the option of accommodation and course only – or ask us to organise everything for you from the moment you arrive at the airport. Individuals are also welcome, subject to availability.

Our first initiatives are cookery courses for amateur or semi-professional chefs, including wine and food tasting with the wonderful Anatra Grassa restaurant. We also offer a course in Italian language and culture run by a qualified Italian teacher.

Activities on non-course days include day trips to the River Tiber nature reserve, Rome, Tivoli, Hadrian’s Villa, the fabulous Fonteverde Spa in nearby Tuscany, Orvieto and its gothic Duomo, the Designer Outlet village and more.

We also welcome partners and friends who wish to share the accommodation and other activities but do not want to attend the courses.
