My husband and I absolutely loved our time here for the 1-week Italian cooking course - and that says a lot since I hate to cook. Chef Franco is simply incredible both in personality and cooking advice and tidbits he shares throughout the 7 days. The villa managers are spectacular offering customer service like we've never experienced before - and we have traveled extensively! We couldn't have had a better time and the website does not do justice to the beautiful grounds and views. Truly a memorable experience.
