Our time at Torre del Tartufo cooking with Chef Franco was truly the highlight of our Italian vacation! Chef Franco has a wonderful gift for bringing an internationally diverse group of people together and creating an instant sense of family and connection. The villa is absolutely beautiful, and the entire staff is warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home—only better, because someone else took care of the cleaning! The cooking experience, the people, the beautiful surroundings, and the warmth of everyone at Torre del Tartufo made our stay truly unforgettable. We were ready to turn around and go back the moment we left. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough and would return in a heartbeat!
