Torre del Tartufo

I booked a week-long cooking trip to Torre del Tartufo as a solo trip and was thrilled with my experience.

Torre del Tartufo

When I booked my solo cooking school getaway (aka birthday present to myself) at Tuscookany Torre Del Tartufo I totally did not expect the experience I had.

Torre del Tartufo

I can honestly say, this is one of the best vacations I have had. There were fourteen "cooks" from all over the world and we all got along famously! Franco and Paola were a joy to work with and Alex and Lena were such wonderful hosts. The weather was perfect and the food, yum! You will not regret spending a week at this beautiful villa with these amazing folks. . Sylvia Francis- April10-17, 2022.

Casa Ombuto

What a culinary adventure we had at Casa Ombuto. We can honestly say that ALL our expectations were exceeded and some!!!. . This has also been on my bucketlist since 2009, so it was a dream come true for me when we did finally drive into Casa Ombuto. Chef Alice...what can we say that wasn't already said? You are an absolute delight!!!

For select weeks you can enjoy learning to cook delicious Italian dishes in the afternoon and have extra complimentary activites in the mornings. At Casa Ombuto and Bellorcia we offer hikes in the area with a professional guide. At Torre del Tartufo for select weeks we offer morning fitness, yoga and meditation programs with a professional personal trainer. These extra activities are free optional extras and if you prefer not to participate or want to go sightseeing on your own, you are of course free to do so.  Have a look at the Cooking and Hiking Itinerary and the Cooking, Fitness and Yoga at Torre del Tartufo itinerary and check availability for 2022!
