The week spent with Pat and Paolo in their Tuscan farm house was a very inspiring and relaxing vacation. We were there to take the first olives of the season to the mill and taste the first press of the harvest from Paolo's organically grown olives.

My week with Patrizia and Paolo were beyond my expectations. It was peaceful and serene, the food was simple and fresh and all that I would ever want.

Our stay at Tasty Tuscany was more than four days of learning about and how to cook authentic regional Italian cuisine. The proprietors, Pat and Paolo, treated us like family and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. Some of the best times were sitting around the dinner table eating fabulous food, drinking locally produced chianti and absorbing... more
