You will live a unique and authentic experience in our Villa located in the Florentine hills and surrounded by the countryside with a beautiful view of Florence. I will be happy to teach you the secrets of the recipes that my grandparents handed down to me with love. We will prepare together two types of HOMEMADE PASTA: Tagliatelle and Ravioli
Then we will cook the meatballs with tomato sauce and at the end I will show you how to prepare a good homemade ICE CREAM “smoked with coffee” mocha or with fresh fruit.
You will eat prepared food on the terrace of the villa surrounded by nature and drink together excellent Tuscan WINES (bubbly , white and organic red). The beautiful VIEW of the city of Florence will make this experience unique and unrepeatable. It will be nice to tell you a bit about the story of my family and grandparents by showing you the memory book. We use high quality local products, many organic. We welcome small groups to make the experience more intimate and familiar.
