Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The hostess was the best. The food instructions were great, and the food was delicious. The property was gorgeous and the house was very clean and kitchen will go back again

The day was quite special. Antonella was such a wonderful host. Her cooking class was so easy to follow and the meal was fantastic. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would highly recommend it to those looking to take a break from all the walking while in Italy. We certainly would do it again!

My friend and I travelled to Italy to celebrate her birthday. This was one of the highlights of the entire trip.
Paolo came to pick us up in Florence and we drove outside the city where Antonella greeted us so warmly, giving us a tour of the villa and the beautiful view.
We were pleasantly surprised that we were getting a private lesson, as November is considered part of the slow season. We relaxed for a bit, just taking in the wonderful scenery.
Antonella was a spectacular teacher, and we had so much fun learning how to make four authentic Italian dishes, including pasta from scratch. Everything was fresh and delicious. We also enjoyed local wine from Tuscany and sitting down with our hosts to enjoy the wonderful meal we cooked.
This is one of the best cooking classes I’ve ever attended, and I’ve been to several. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. And happy birthday to my friend Sophia (name changed to protect her privacy).

It was a crisp breezy Fall day with intermittent sun and a few rain drops, but that did not take away from this wonderful experience. The views were beautiful and calming. It only took about 25 minutes after being picked up to get to the villa. Walking in you are welcomed by the lovely host, Antonella. And then you see the beautiful views from her home!
The setting is very calming! We loved the cooking experience as everything was explained and demonstrated very well. We made 3 courses and a desert...all were scrumptious! And of course we drank wine throughout the process!
This is a must for all....even it you don't cook!

It was an amazing experience. Antonella is such a wonderful hostess and the villa was perfect, just beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside. The recipes were very simple and authentic and the food we produced was delicious. Antonella was even able to accommodate my partner who had a food allergy and couldn't eat one of the dishes. They were in no rush, the whole experience was very laid back so it ended up being a full-day experience. Would definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic time at the cooking class. The villa overlooks the beautiful Tuscan countryside, and the food was absolutely delicious. My wife and I enjoyed making and eating souffles, pasta, sauce, chicken, and tiramisu.
We enjoyed our class with another couple and a lone traveler who made the experience even better. Antonella, Manuela, and Paolo were great hosts. The experience provided us with a much-needed day away from the busy cities and tourist destinations.
If you're in Florence, you have to try this class out. We left with full bellies and great memories!

Our group of three spent an absolutely fabulous afternoon cooking with Antonella and Manuela at the most gorgeous villa just outside of Florence. Even the most inexperienced cook of our group was able to easily follow the instructions for the multi-
course meal we prepared using fresh seasonal local ingredients. The setting of the villa is stunning. We so enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the beautiful valley below while we ate the fruits of our labors. Thank you SO much, Antonella, for the experience of a lifetime!

Who wouldn’t love cooking outside with views of Tuscany.
Antonella and Manuela both made prep work fun and provided lots of helpful tips.
Got to meet 4 new friends and enjoyed the fruits of our “labor “
Would heartily recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn the Tuscany style of cooking
