dear mama tina,
we are staying on ischia from 6th july – 20th july 2008, we are a family of 5. For my husbands birthday I like to give him cooking lessons, because he loves cooking and Italian food. I have seen on your website that you give lessons in Spring. Is there a possibility for my husband to have some in July? We are staying in an appartment on the beach at
Parco Smeraldo Hotel.
I hope you don’t mind me asking you this.
Hope to hear from you,
regards.
