Amazing time! The host chef and her staff were amazing! Would love to learn more! Beautiful setting!
This was a fun experience where my friends and i learned how to make pici pasta, dried olive crusted filet and a delicious Parmesan flan. Sylvia was such a vivacious chef/teacher. It was very interactive and our lunch was delicious and accompanied by tasty wince selections. The view is stunning (like so many in Tuscany). Highly recommend!
Wonderful host. Great food experience with an outstanding facility. Food, wine, pizza, pasta for all. Highly recommend.
We throughly enjoyed the balance of a DYI and chef-prepped dinner in our villa. They brought everything we needed to make a 3-course meal, the translator was informative and friendly, and the chef a delightful guide. And they cleaned up and put away all the leftovers. A great way to “stay in” while dining well in Cortona.
The cooking class was not as advertised. Not as the picture advertised. Only one person taught the class. The location was not clear on your website. There was no bus to pick us up. The location of the class was way out of the way and so hard to find that 4 people could not even find the place. Only three of us showed up. We took taxis to get there and back at a cost of $60. The web site advertised wine and beverages would be served. They were not even offered. A disappointment all around.
hello thanks for your review. The address is correct as the inclusions. There is no pick up included so please next time read more carefully the adv. Best
We learned a lot about the area. Simonetta was a very good teacher, fun to work with, and we got to do a lot of the cooking. Be sure to come hungry!
