Most people come on their own.

And within a day or two, it really doesn’t feel like that anymore.

There’s something about sharing meals, doing Pilates together, and having time to chat — it all comes together quite naturally.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something like this, you’d be very welcome.

It’s International Women’s Day!

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day and the women who inspire and lead. At Flavours Holidays, we’re proud to be a female-founded and owned business, created by our founder Lorne with a vision to bring people together through creative travel experiences. From cooking and painting to photography and language retreats, Flavours has always been about empowering people to explore new passions and connect with others. Today we celebrate Lorne and the incredible women who make the Flavours community so special. 💜

Last week, our guests had the privilege of visiting the Amal Center in Marrakech. In honor of , we want to highlight the vital work they do as a refuge and training center for women—providing a path to independence for many, including victims of the 2023 earthquake.

Delicious food, a life-changing mission, and a reminder of the strength of women everywhere.

As we head into the end of the weekend, we’re celebrating Burns Night – a moment to gather, share good food, and enjoy a little Scottish tradition.

In the kitchen, Scott’s been cooking up seasonal dishes inspired by Scotland (including a beautiful venison recipe video now live on the blog). And this week, we’re delighted to be welcoming guests to Penicuik House, where some of these flavours will be enjoyed around the table.

From thoughtfully set tables to time spent cooking together, it’s always about good company, great ingredients, and moments worth sharing.

Happy weekend – and happy Burns Night 💙

🧀 National Cheese Day? We’ll take a slice (or three).

Today is National Cheese Day in the UK, a moment to celebrate the craftsmanship, heritage and simple joy behind one of our most-loved foods.

For us, that appreciation often continues a little further south.
From creamy burrata in Puglia, to nutty Pecorino in Tuscany, it just doesn't get much better!

🧀✨ Happy National Cheese Day. How do you like yours?

With so many solo travellers in each group, shared interests make it easy for everyone to feel at ease — chatting, laughing and settling in. That social side really is the key to why these holidays feel so special.

There’s something lovely about watching people connect over meals together, sharing interests, or enjoying classes together with plenty of smiles along the way. The connections, the easy company, the feeling of belonging…

There’s nothing more uplifting than hearing from guests who’ve travelled with us time and time again. One guest has just returned from her third Painting Holiday — and she’s already booked Sicily with her same group and tutor for next year.

Her words say it all:
🌿 “The accommodation is superb, the locally sourced food is wonderful…”
👩‍🎨 “Michael, our art tutor, is good-natured, patient and encouraging…”
💛 “We’ve met people we still travel with — and privately too.”

That sense of community, creativity and shared adventure is exactly what makes our Painting holidays special.

If you’ve been thinking about a Painting Holiday, this is your little nudge. Your future group of friends might just be waiting in the sunshine with a paintbrush in hand.

Discover Ortelle

Tucked away in the heart of Puglia, our villa in the little town of Ortelle is a peaceful haven. Think candlelit evenings by the pool, sun-soaked courtyards framed with stone archways, and long conversations under fig trees with a glass of wine in hand.

Here, it’s not just a place to stay. It’s where authentic Italian life becomes part of your story.

Would you spend your evening poolside, in the garden, or chatting with new friends?
