My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to take a cooking "experience" with Patrizia and Massimo right around Christmas time while staying in the area. This experience was truly one of the highlights of our trip, as we found in Patrizia and Massimo people who so graciously shared their culinary expertise, and also their love of the... More

Stayed here with a group of women at the villa. Patrizia was an amazing host! We loved her Italian Mama sass. Our night of cooking with her was the highlight of our trip. We made tiramisu, ravioli, and eggplant parmesan while sampling cheese and wine. Then we got to sit down in her beautiful dining room and eat all of... More

Our wonderful cooking class with Patrizia and Massimo was an incredibly enjoyable experience. Their beautiful home, vineyards and hospitality were memorable for all of us including my teenage children. It was the highlight of our Italian trip. The food was so fresh and delicious. Even our daughter, who was living in Florence for the semester said it was the best... More

Had a fantastic time staying at this Italian bed and breakfast. The views were amazing, the breakfasts were wonderful and our group of women loved the cooking class with our hostess and host Patricizia and Mossimo. It was the highlight of my first ever trip to Italy and if I can ever go back I wouldn't miss staying here again. More

My husband and I took this cooking class with Patrizia and Massimo, while staying in the Tuscany region. We wanted to really see and learn how local Italians actually live and cook, instead of watching some 5 star top chef prepare his meals in a fancy kitchen. The ambiance in their wonderful home was perfect, and even better, Patrizia had... More

Stayed with a group of ladies stayed and we got the whole villa to ourselves. It was an absolutely beautiful place in rustic Tuscany with great views from our accommodations and very nice scenery to walk through and explore. Patrizia's breakfast was a highlight of our stay. Several homemade jams, homemade honey, homemade bread, and more fresh fruit than you... More

The best review I can write is I can't wait to return. We spent 3 days enjoying the amazing food, scenery, and hospitality. We loved taking a cooking class. Have decided to go for a week next year. After Rome this was a welcome respite. My room was great and I loved the smell of the linens! More

My wife and I were in Italy for 2 weeks and the day we spent cooking with Patrizia and Massimo was at the top of our days. Patrizia started the day giving us background of Italian cooking, then we moved into the kitchen. The day was fun, we gained additional appreciation for Italian food, got some good recipes and ate...

We absolutely loved this cooking class and spending the afternoon with Patricia and Massimo. It truly felt like a local experience with great people and delicious food. Besides just experiencing Italian cooking you really get to understand the people and philosophy behind it. Highly recommended. A must when you are in Tuscany! More
