There is a corner of Italy where the sea breeze mixes with the smell of fresh pasta, and the countryside rolls gently toward the coast.

Romagna is a land of sun-kissed hills, long golden beaches and family kitchens where recipes are treasured like heirlooms. It’s not always the first name people think of… and that’s exactly why it feels so special.

With Loving Romagna with Carmela’s Kitchen, you’ll experience this spirit firsthand: cooking authentic dishes, visiting artisans and winemakers, and enjoying the relaxed beauty of a region that feels both familiar and delightfully undiscovered.

A true Italian experience, shaped by people, flavours and stories that stay with you long after you return home.

Just book your flight directly to Rimini… and the rest is taken care of.
