Spend a day learning to make fresh pasta and tiramisù on a cliff‑facing terrace at La Gavitella, then relax at a private beach club with shuttle-boat service from Positano. Practical and immersive, this combination class and beach day blends hands-on cooking with coastal views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step down a narrow stairway from the Church of San Gennaro, the cliffside air tasting faintly of lemon and sea spray. La Gavitella opens below: a bright terrace, white aprons, and the Tyrrhenian daring you toward the water. Chefs greet the group with coffee and cornetto before aprons and hats transform tourists into hands-on cooks.
