Absolutely the best experience! Everything was hands-on. Raffella took our food requests into consideration when planning the lesson. Her home was warm and welcoming. Raffella was patient and very organized. We loved the opportunity and so glad we choose this experience! Thank you Raffella!

Our son and daughter-in-law recently joined us Online for a great Online cooking class with Raffaella. It was a Christmas gift and we decided to join them. We live in two different states, it was so much fun to be able to connect with them in the kitchen. Raffaella is a very talented chef, and her instructions were clear and easy to follow.
We cooked a wonderful menu and we entertained friends for a special Italian dinner that evening.
My husband and I spent a wonderful week cooking in Raffaella's beautiful home/farm in Umbria 2 years ago. One of our best vacations ever and we are hoping to return.

Four of us attended “Let’s Cook in Umbria” for a 5 day cooking school. The owner/chef, Rafaella, welcomed us very, very late at night on the first day with open arms. We stayed in her warm, comfortable apartments located next to her home where the cooking classes take place. She and her family maintain a large garden, olive groves, and a vineyard on their farm. It’s a beautiful setting. Rafaella is charming, personable, has great sense of humor, and is a wonderful teacher.The classes take place in her home very near her kitchen in a living area that provides a cozy comfortable atmosphere. Rafaella uses her grandmother’s recipes, demonstrates necessary techniques, then encourages her students to do almost all of the preparation and cooking. Fantastic! She has to be a great chef because our meals accompanied by the family’s wines, were delicious. Let’s Cook in Umbria couldn’t have been better and therefore highly recommended.

We are experienced travelers who have enjoyed exploring local cooking classes and cultures. Rafaella offered exactly what we were seeking and more in her 7 day vacation package. Each morning she shared family cooking secrets from appetizers to main course to desserts followed by local tours as described on her website. Her family farm and warm reception offered the perfect setting for creating new memories and friendships. With a group of 7 others, we each partiipated in food preparation and enjoyed our efforts while sharing stories over lunch accompanied by the farm's own wine. Thanks to Raffaella, we had an absolutely perfect time.

We came to Umbria as a group of eight friends, and Raffaella helped us create an unforgettable experience. We had the best Umbrian meal in her beautiful farmhouse setting, where we also enjoyed learning about local food and customs. Raffaella is an amazing chef, host, and expert on the entire area. She also helped us to organize three different day trips in Umbria - guiding us to beautiful wineries, historic hilltop towns, and the most authentic truffle hunting experience with a friendly local hunter and his talented dog. In summary - whether you choose to stay, cook, eat or tour with Raffaella - you will have an exceptional experience.

We attended a cooking class with Raffaella in October 2022. It was the highlight of our Umbrian vacation. The classes are in her home, a beautiful farm. She is a talented and kind teacher. The meal we made was absolutely delicious! The best meal in a trip of many delicious meals. I look forward to recreating it at home.
I highly recommend taking one of her classes. You won't be disappointed.

Rafaella is an excellent, patient teacher of classic Umbrian cooking. In her home kitchen located in a beautiful countryside location, we made strangozzi, grape flavored pork loin, sausage and mushroom sauce, and crostata. All incredibly tasty, especially when served with her homemade rosso wine. A wonderful afternoon that was a great and fortifying break from sightseeing.

My parents and I had so much fun learning how to make this delicious food! They had everything ready and set out for us so that we were able to make all four courses. I can't wait to try the recipes at home.

Rafaela was a charming hostess and a wonderful teacher! My wife and I enjoyed a half-day cooking class with our friends in her Umbrian hillside home, making strangozzi pasta, pork tenderloin, appetizers, and desert all while enjoying this authentic “hands on” experience in the green heart of Italy! When we finished our last preparations, we enjoyed a beautiful lunch, Rafaela’s homemade wine, and watched the rain clouds part as we headed back down the hillside amidst the vineyards and olive groves. I recommend Rafaela to anyone looking for an Umbrian cooking (and eating) experience!

Excellent! I stayed at the farm’s accommodations for four nights.
Rafaela is not only an excellent cooking teacher but also a kind person who goes above and beyond to please the guests. The apartment where I stayed was fully equipped. Breakfast is provided. After our daily cooking class, she served us lunch ( the food we prepared) and she also planned daily activities for the rest of the day ( tours to Assisi, Perugia, to vineyards, chocolate making and ceramic classes)
She has a driver that drove us to all the activities at no additional cost.
The farm is very nice with a vineyard, olive trees, a big swimming pool and lots of beautiful areas to relax and enjoy the gorgeous views. Highly recommend!

Ill be here in November for the Olive Harvest (staying on the property) and I'm wondering what is the best way to get to the farm from the airport? I'm leaning toward taking the train. Where is the closest train station in Peruvia? I see there is a couple.

You should contact Let's Cook in Umbria direct. I have no thing to do with bookings. I can praise it though was all wonderful.
Planning on going in July. I have a question? You mentioned that Staff checked on you to see if you wanted to go into to town? Is this something that they do regularly? I wasn't sure if we would be stuck at the farm with no means to get into town for purchases. Also, What is the weather like in the summer? Is there air conditioning at the farm? Is the weather tolerable? I appreciate any responses. It sounds so wonderful to be there.

We have been to this area 5 or 6 times, the last time in July last year. It was really HOT!!
Because we stay in a fairly remote villa we always pick up a car for the duration of our trip and one day we ventured into Todi and the outside temp showed at 46 degrees.
Not for the faint hearted.
We going back mid June this year and we also plan to try the cookery school for the first time.

Please let us know if you will do 3 day cooking class with my daughter and me. Also, need to see your availability for July, 2015. Thank you!
We will take a train from Milan airport and probably take a taxi to your farm. (is that correct?)
Can you do a discount for our classes to save us any money for the cooking part of our stay?
