A unique and enlightening experience. The staff was wonderful and the setting absolutely perfect. Get away from the noise and become part of the beautiful Tuscany countryside. The accommodations were perfect, and the team made sure that everything was made clear and any questions answered, including trains, car rental (who was also great by the way) and driving directions. The tours of the local areas were great, and the guides fantastic. A small group lends to a more intimate experience as well as a better opportunity to make new friends.
Highly recommended. I am sure we will do this again.

Attending the week-long Organic Tuscany cooking class (Saturday to Saturday) was truly a dream come true. It had been on my bucket list for years, and I’m so happy I finally made it happen!

From the very first communication with the website and with Riccardo and Shilpa, everything was amazing — so organized, informative, and welcoming. The website itself is excellent, and now I understand why all the reviews are so glowing.

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Serenella one of the main chefs. The villa is absolutely beautiful — we stayed in the Blue Room, which has a breathtaking view of Tuscany. Throughout the week, the cooking sessions were fun, educational, and full of laughter. We had a wonderful group, and I learned so much from Serenella, Clara, Manuela, Arturo, and Riccardo. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing!

The excursions to the medieval towns, the pottery workshop, and the winery were all fantastic. I especially loved learning about Tuscan wine and olive oil — it gave me such a deeper appreciation for both. I also loved our last evening and our musical surprise!

This experience has truly been one of the best of my life and will always remain in my top 10 travel and life experiences. I’ll miss my group dearly and will keep everything I learned close to my heart. I hope to see everyone again for the advanced classes — hint hint!

Best birthday gift ever!!!!! It was the real deal. Loved my time there and learned so many secrets to delicious Italian cuisine, wine and olive oil! Serenella, Artruro and the entire team are knowledgeable, friendly and truly strive to ensure your time there is amazing.
There was a perfect mix of in the kitchen learning and on the road excursions.
Loved it! I would highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful week here in Tuscany. The villa was beautiful and comfortable and the views were stunning. The cooking staff/instructors were amazing, friendly, fun and so knowledgeable. They made everyone feel comfortable and included. They enabled us to make delicious, sometimes complicated dishes. We went on some very interesting excursions to nearby historic towns. We learned about making wine and olive oil and pottery. We went on a walking tour of Florence one day. We were given recommendations for good places to shop(I bought a gorgeous leather purse) and places to eat and have gelato. We enjoyed all of it and came home having learned a lot. Serénela, Arturo, Clara, Ricardo and everyone who made our stay so special, thank you!!

We had a wonderful week at Organic Tuscany. We were looking for an interesting experience for our honeymoon and this was perfect. Serenella and Auturo are excellent instructors and they made learning fun. We started the week with a group of strangers, with various backgrounds for classmates, but we ended the week as friends. The entire week is the perfect balance of cooking together, excursions to Certaldo Alto, San Gimignano, Florence and a local winery, meals together and free time.

The villa and location is perfect and the views of the Tuscan countryside are incredible. We enjoyed all of our meals on the veranda with spectacular views of the countryside. The four, three-hour cooking classes were fun and everyone participated. True to their name, there is an emphasis on organic and locally grown ingredients, including the wines and olive oils. We all learned a number of wonderful techniques and recipes that are reproducible at home. Overall, we would highly recommend Organic Tuscany to anyone interested in learning about Tuscan Italian cooking, history and culture.

Experience of a lifetime! Serenella, Arturo and everyone involved were so generous with their knowledge and expertise. The entire week was so well planned. Great balance between cooking/eating/wine drinking and excursions. We learned so much about Tuscan food, wine and olive oil. The villa is extremely comfortable with a beautiful view from the terrace where we had all our meals. Absolutely amazing! When I saw the information on the website I thought it was too good to believe but it was that and more. Being such a good value was icing on the biscotti! Thanks to all!
