I can honestly say that my week here was the most rewarding, fun-filled, exciting trip I have EVER had. From the breathtaking beauty of the place, to the luxurious accommodation, to the warm hospitable staff and the life-long friends I have gained, this is the place to be. If you have the vaguest interest in food you will astonish yourself... More

This experience truly lived up to all the comments of previous guests. Accomodations were all first class in every way. Chef Franco was an inspiring (and very patient) teacher--i learned so much from him and really appreciated his approach. Villa staff anticipated all our needs and seemed always one step ahead. Our group of diverse individuals from all over were... More

My husband and I have just returned from a week at Torre del Tartufo. What a fantastic week. The cooking with Franco and Paula was superb, Barbara was a gracious hostess and the Villa is beautiful. We've made friends for life - haven't laughed so much in years.

During a seven-day trip to Italy, my husband and I participated in the three-day cooking course at Torre del Tartufo. We both agreed that it was the best part of our trip. The staff was so accommodating and professional. The grounds and rooms were comfortable and beautiful. We enjoyed the excursions planned by the staff. And then there was the... More

We did the three-day cooking course and our only regret is that we didn't do the full week. The drive up the mountain road was definitely adventurous, but sometimes paradise is a little difficult to get to... and paradise it is! The facility and our room in itself would have been enough to make the perfect vacation spot, but then... More

My daughter and I love to cook together and have always wanted to come to a cooking school in Tuscany. My daughter travels every week for business and has a very stressful job. She needed to get away and we could not have picked a more perfect place for us both! Torre del Tartufo is magnificent, every view more gorgeous... More

My wife and I attended the Torre del Tartufo Cooking School near Arezzo, Italy last September. We like to cook and were looking for a serious school where we could enhance our cookng skills as well as have a great vacation. We found everything we were looking for. Excellent school, beautiful villa, wonderful accomodations and spectacular Tuscan country. Chef Franco... More

I cannot recommend this experience enough - it was absolutely BEYOND anything I'd even imagined. As a solo traveler, I was a little nervous, but the group was perfect, the classes were fantastic, the staff were amazing, the setting idyllic... This was my first trip to Italy, and Tuscookany was the most relaxing way to enjoy it. If I had... More

If you are even thinking about a cooking vacation at Torre del Tartufo in Tuscany, all I can say is DO IT! I spent a week at the villa and cooking school in early September and it was beyond my expectations!! When you arrive at the villa, it will take your breath away. It is truly the most beautiful place... More
