Hands-on Fun! - We throughly enjoyed the balance of a DYI and chef-prepped dinner in our villa. They brought everything we needed to make a 3-course meal, the translator was informative and friendly, and the chef a delightful guide. And they cleaned up and put away all the leftovers. A great way to “stay in” while dining well in Cortona.

Pleasant afternoon of Italian Cooking - We learned a lot about the area. Simonetta was a very good teacher, fun to work with, and we got to do a lot of the cooking. Be sure to come hungry!

Not Cooking here again! - The cooking class was not as advertised. Not as the picture advertised. Only one person taught the class. The location was not clear on your website. There was no bus to pick us up. The location of the class was way out of the way and so hard to find that 4 people could not even find the place. Only three of us showed up. We took taxis to get there and back at a cost of $60. The web site advertised wine and beverages would be served. They were not even offered. A disappointment all around.
