This week in Tuscany was an amazing experience. The cooking classes are top notch. The teaching. The staff. The food. The wine. They were very knowledgeable and so passionate about fresh organic food … from where it comes from, to the cooking kitchen , to your plate on the back patio of the villa —-over looking the stunning vineyards and farmlands of Tuscany .

We spent four weeks in Italy in May this year and of all the adventurous, amazing and beautiful things we experienced, Organic Tuscany was our favourite! The Villa, the scenery and the food were incredible and the cooking classes using the freshest local herbs, veg, meat, olive oil and wine was inspiring! We cherish getting to know all the other guests and Serenella and Arturo who made it all the more special😀

What a fabulous experience we had attending the Organic Tuscany Cooking Classes. Sere couldn't have been more accommodating, knowledgeable, attentive and fun to be around. The other guests were like family. Arturo gave a great class on Olive oils and another on wines which were very informative. Preparing your own meal as a group was a blast. I highly recommend you book an Organic Tuscany Cooking Class Adventure, you wont be disappointed.

From beginning to end, this was a vacation experience I will cherish forever! It will be memorable for its venue and views over peaceful, glowing farmlands descriptive of a Tuscany I had previously only ever experienced in movies! It will be memorable for the warmth, friendliness, caring and professionalism of its hosts, Serenella and Arturo who had us laughing, sharing and learning from the time we arrived until we left a week later. We were welcomed into the pretty pink traditional villa as if we were family – and as we got to know the rest of our group, that is how it felt – like family. Serenella consistently went above and beyond for her guests in her caring, and always entertaining style – she certainly is a special someone!The itinerary was thoughtful, varied and provided an opportunity to learn and experience Italy in a very personalized and meaningful manner. As for the cooking classes…they were fantastic! My goodness, such fabulous fresh, local plump, colourful produce expertly whipped up into gastronomic pleasures, only possible with the help and expertise of Serenella, Arturo and Manuella. The highlight at the completion of each cooking class, was sitting around a beautifully set outdoor table, gazing at the (aforementioned) views with our newfound friends, savouring quality local wines and enjoying our own culinary efforts and each other’s company and stories. I think we would all agree that the secret ingredient was the fun and laughter that accompanied every recipe.

Our stay at Organic Tuscany was one of our best holidays ever! The welcome was very warm and everyone at the villa was fun and knowledgeable and passionate about their traditions and the quality of the food. The villa itself is the perfect rustic country retreat, like waking up in an old Italian movie. The accommodations are simple but comfortable. The villa is ideally located to explore nearby Florence or Siena or the many smaller towns with charming medieval cores. Highly recommended.

A hidden gem at this beautiful villa located in Tuscany and an experience you won’t want to miss if you are a foodie, enjoy fellowship, outdoor eating and activities. Serenella, Arturo and their team could not have done more to make it a most memorable vacation!
