Wow!! Expect to be blown away. This villa is spectacular, with infinity pool, outdoor dining areas, beautiful gardens, fireplaces, cozy chairs and nooks to curl up in. The rooms are very nice, but not luxurious, which is how it should be, as you will rarely be in it. The cooking classes are fun, interactive, and educational. Franco, the chef/instructor, is... More

I recently returned from Torre del Tartufo. I attended the cooking school with 3 of my girlfriends to celebrate my 50th birthday. I could not have asked for anything better. It was one of those special weeks that you will remember forever. The villa is absolutely beautiful and the staff and owners make you feel so welcome and comfortable, as... More

This week was absolutely amazing! The villa is beautiful and cozy, and the hosts provide you with everything you could possibly want and more. Franco is a fabulous chef (he did his best to teach us how to be good Italian chefs) and he kept us so busy the time flew by. We had the perfect team of novice chefs,... More

My top "complaints": 1. My bed was too comfortable, While snuggled under the fabulous down comforter surrounded by the antique furniture it was too hard to get out of bed! Once I forced myself out of bed my feet were immediately warmed on the heated bathroom floor which allowed me more time to just stand at the window and soak... More

Our experience at the 7 day Italian cooking school at Torre del Tartufo was a dream come true for this first time traveller to Italy. The beautiful location, wonderful staff, and fellow guests were key ingredients to a fun and relaxing week. The cooking classes, tours , time to explore or just sit anywhere within the villa grounds, perched on... More

We had a fabulous time at Torre de Tartufo in September 2012. Chef Franco and Paulo were super - and with their teaching, coaching and final touches, the meals we enjoyed each evening were superb. Not to mention the wine, as well as the liqueur Franco served us after dinner each night. We had great fun all week and enjoyed... More

We did the 7 day Italian cooking course and loved every single minute. The property alone is everything you could dream of in a Tuscan villa. Wonderful accomodations and the common areas were super. This hilltop villa is at the end of a winding road and therefore secluded and quiet with amazing views. The staff were beyond words. Barbara the... More

From the drive up to this property to our reluctant departure, we had a fabulous experience. Having read previous reviews, we had high expectations, but I can honestly say they were exceeded. The property is stunning, with pretty much everything catered for, including separate lounge areas, full access to the kitchen, dining area & bar. All of the staff were... More

This was the full, seven-day cooking course, and what a marvelous experience it was, from beginning to end! From the moment we arrived, Barbara (the manager) made us feel as welcome as family.
