A Taste of Family and Heart

Ciao! My name is Lucia, and I’m the heart (and hands in the dough!) behind Mamy Lucia Cooking School and the Villa Lorelei B&B, nestled in beautiful Massa Lubrense, just a few kilometers from Sorrento.

My love for cooking began in childhood, growing up in a big, lively family where every lunch felt like a feast. After running a fashion boutique for years, life brought me back to my roots. I spent time studying culinary arts, and in 2004, I opened my own school.

My classes feel like a Sunday lunch with family—warm, real, and full of laughter. We make traditional dishes like ravioli capresi, toast with prosecco, and share stories while cooking and eating together.

Villa Lorelei was born from the dream of offering not just a class, but a complete experience. Whether you stay for a night or a week, I’m here to welcome you with a smile, good food, and maybe even some music and dancing. For me, this place is all about family and love.
