LATEST REVIEWS FROM TRIPADVISOR

Please don’t miss out on this amazing learning experience!

I attended classes here for 4 days, and my brain is now full of all of the amazing information I learned from Stefania and her lovely mom. They taught me traditional Tuscan recipes using fresh food (mostly from their own garden) and great cooking techniques. I loved each recipe we made and can’t wait to recreate them for my friends and family!

We ate lunch together as a family every day, so it was neat to talk to everyone and enjoy the food together.

Stefania and her family are very kind and generous, even if you come alone you will feel right at home.

One more thing to note...Stefania was very flexible about letting me mix and match which classes I wanted to do, although that probably depends on how many students she has on which week. But I suggest you can even just let her pick the course or lessons she thinks would be best, because anything you do there will be amazing!

Recommended to anyone :)
