My friends and I did the cooking class at our villa while on a girls trip to Italy and this was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip!
Francesco and Mareike were both so great. They worked so well together. Francesco taught us how to make pasta and had us help with the tiramisu as well. Mareike made sure we had the best time, the table looked amazing and made sure the wine was flowing.
The food was great, the service was great and they were both so nice and so funny. I don’t think my friends and I had any other activities during our trip where we laughed so hard and had so much fun.
One of our group had some dietary requirements and Mareike and Francesco made sure to accomodate her in the planned menu. I was also super impressed when someone else let Francesco know she didn’t like coffee he quickly switched out the coffee in her dessert for something she’d like as well.
Would absolutely recommend for anyone interested in doing a class while in Umbria! Such great value too!

After calls and emails and wasting a lot of my time for two days no chef ever showed up. Now I have to waste time making sure TripAdvisor does not charge me $600.

I am so deeply sorry to hear about your experience. Due to management changes, we were momentarily unable to reach our clients directly and set everything for their booked cooking classes. We are all about delivering service and are relieved to finally access and contact our clients again. We do hope to get another change and welcome you on another trip of yours in our beautiful region.

We learned a lot - hands on and got great pictures. Meeting the other foreign couple was a great experience in itself.
They were a friendly family and easy to get along with.
Things that could have made it a 5 Star experience:
1) Airconditioning; cooking got very hot in the kitchen.
2) Recipes for the items we cooked. We cooked amazing things but I can’t remember all the ingredients!

Chef David came to our villa outside Montepulciano and provided our group of ten a real culinary experience. Our family learned to make Tuscan bread, pasta, and tiramisu. The experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity to cook together and prepare dinner. It was a great experience and David did a wonderful job relating to the entire family. Thanks, Chef David!!!

It was a very special trip with my best friends, the cooking class was a very fun experience. The chef , Fortunato, was very patient and the food was delicious. At the end of the night they left and the kitchen was all clean, very organized. It was a lot of food.
It was a great night and I would do it again.

I was in Italy spending time with friends from USA ; we all rent a Villa in Umbria close to Tuscany. We contacted this catering company and we ask for a private chef ! they were very efficient and professional! the food was a good selection of cured meat and cheese from the area; pasta in carbonara way and beef cooked with red wine! I'm italian and I can say the food is great and service very satisfying . perfect value for money !
