Bella Baita-Italian Alps Retreat & Cookery Classes

We own a small family run inn where my husband grew up in the Italian Alps of Piemonte. We offer cookery classes and small culinary tours in addition to our small alpine inn where we cook almost everything from scratch, using our organic garden produce...
