The whole experience was excellent!!! Sera and Arturo were wonderful hosts and instructors in addition to just being wonderful people making everything enjoyable. . It was such a joy to get to know them and Marcella too. Of course the food was superb. I enjoyed learning these dishes. I live alone so haven't tried doing them myself, but looking forward to trying them. I have heard from many of our group about their experiences with the recipes and seeing the results. Speaking of our group, everyone was so terrific. We were a very cohesive group. We enjoyed cooking and just being together. What a great group of people!

The one word which describes Organic Tuscany is "Amore". Immediately you sense the team loves what they do creating a relaxed vibe. The property's location has an incredible view you will never forget plus easy access to medieval towns The team has created an authentic historically rich all inclusive hassle free experience. I would love to come back again and again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Organic Tuscany!Our time with you was fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about this place! Organic Tuscany was all I hoped it would be and much more! Our hosts and chefs, Serenella and Arturo, were absolutely fabulous! From the moment we got there to the moment we left, they were kind, caring, knowledgeable, informative, and fun! Their love of cooking really shined through as we chopped, rolled, baked, and stirred our way through the many different recipes they shared. We ate these fabulous meals out on the back terrace looking out at the view of Tuscany that I can only describe as belonging on a postcard!The accommodations were also great! Each bedroom had its own charm, ensuite bathroom, and an amazing view of the countryside. The beds were comfortable as were the pillows.Our time was spent between cooking, relaxing, and excursions. These excursions were amazing! The perfect balance of history, shopping, and exploring! We visited some really excellent places, but I don't want to give too much away. So, I'm really not going to tell you about our amazing last night! You just need to go and experience it for yourself! Book your trip today! I'm sure you'll have as much fun as we did! Enjoy! ~Jill C.

We came for the cooking class. But it was so much more than just a wonderful experience in the kitchen. We were invited into a vibrant community of artistic individuals who shared their passions and knowledge of food, sustainability and living life to the fullest. I could not recommend this program more highly if you are looking for something to feed both your body and your soul in the beauty of a gorgeous Tuscan landscape.

This experience was a dream come true. 💭About 13 years ago I first learned about Organic Tuscany and a year ago I finally had the opportunity to solidify travel plans to go.I chose Organic Tuscany because of being rooted in organic and natural food and that was important to me. I also wanted a vacation not a boot camp so the balance between cooking, relaxing and touring the area was perfect.The entire Organic Tuscany team was exceptional. Serenella was a wonderful host and teacher for the week and Arturo made learning fun and enjoyable.The Villa itself was well appointed and comfortable for our stay. The views were magnificent.The food Serenella prepared for us was delicious and all the cooking classes and meals we prepared together were fun and easy going. Marella was also a great teacher and thorough in her cooking tutorials ensuring we all understood methods and steps.I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who enjoys cooking and looking for an authentic and enjoyable way to spend a week in Tuscany.Its not often you go some place new in a foreign country that makes you feel so welcomed and at home.❤️Grazie mille a tutto lo staff di Organic Tuscany per una settimana meravigliosa!

Just got back from an incredible week with Organic Tuscany and I can’t recommend it enough. It was glorious from beginning to end. The 4 cooking classes were such fun and geared to both experienced and inexperienced cooks alike. The villa/accommodations are Tuscany at its best — exactly what you’d hope for during an experience like this. The surrounding towns and areas are exquisite — the program allows you just the right amount of time to explore, enjoy and drink in the culture. But best of all are the amazing hosts. Serenella and Arturo not only make you feel right at home, they impart their expertise with unequaled charm and warmth. If you’re looking for the definitive Tuscan cooking/sightseeing/relaxing experience, you cannot do better than Organic Tuscany.

Our week at Organic Tuscany was a delightful and memorable experience! Serenella and Arturo are simply wonderful. As a novice in the kitchen, I learned a lot and really enjoyed taking part in putting together some delicious meals. Loved the villa, the pool, the other guests, and the excursions to Florence, Certaldo, a winery and a pottery studio. Just a wonderful week in Tuscany!

Truly delightful week Organic Tuscany was a MOST. AMAZING. EXPERIENCE! The staff, villa, adventures, insights into the techniques of Italian cooking, with or without wine, but always with and extra "glug" of the best olive oil. Our small group energetically shared tasks, laughed often, and left as friends. Great memories...

Exceptional does not describe it enough, it was beyond exceptional! Serenella, Arturo and the entire team are genuine, artisans, historians, and keepers of the culture. I learned much! As a solo traveler you never know what to expect. They included everyone, and made everyone feel welcome and special! The food and the entire process was amazing! The others in our group were lots of fun as well! Thanks to your entire team! I hope to be back someday! Best wishes Joe

My sisters and I have a lovely week cooking, eating great food, drinking wonderful wine and touring Tuscany with Organic Tuscany. There was a lot of laughing and bonding with new friends and Serenella and Arturo were wonderful hosts and teachers. If you are looking for low key fun, I would recommend Organic Tuscany.

If I could give higher stars I would. The chef Serenella, and helper Arturo absolutely make this such a wonderful experience. Such an amazing week of cooking, learning and laughing with our group that feels like friends after our week. The grounds and pool are beautiful. The villa is lovely and the rooms are giant. Bed was comfortable, which we were surprised with my husband who is 6’6. lol. There’s a reason this place is booked a year in advance. Thank you Serenella and Arturo and all staff for such a wonderful week. 🇮🇹🍷💕

The experience with Organic Tuscany Cooking Vacations was beyond wonderful. The staff, led by Serenella, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They took great joy in spreading their knowledge and expertise in the cooking classes and wine tastings and olive oil tastings. They complement the experience at the school with a host of special field trips that further enhance the quality of the classes. We heard from several guides, all amazingly informative and happy to share their knowledge and experiences. I could not recommend any vacation experience more highly! Bravo to the whole team!
