Lunch or Dinner at your place We come and cook, you sit back and eat!

This can be the perfect way to start your Tuscan holyday, when tired from your trip and still unacquainted with the area you’re staying in (local shops, restaurants…). Or it could make the pleasant ending to a day spent visiting monuments or other sites and the idea of dining-in becomes even more tantalizing when you don’t have to do any work for it.

Either way, you will enjoy all the goodness of a Tuscan meal in the relaxed, homely atmosphere of your place of stay, combined with the possibility of interacting with the chef, who can give you more insights about our food traditions while preparing your meal.

There are different combinations – lunch, dinner, with wine supplied by us or by you, two, three or more courses. You can peruse through the dishes suggested for our cooking classes to come up with ideas to customise the perfect meal for you. For prices and detailed information please contact me and I’ll be glad to discuss with you the most suitable option for your requirements.
