A week of cooking at Casa Ombuto is everything you could hope to expect, and more. Under the expert guidance of world class chef Paola Baccetti, accompanied by her skilled support staff, even the most novice chef gains culinary confidence making a variety of dishes from scratch through to full course dinners expected at a five star restaurant.
All in the setting of a beautifully updated Tuscan villa, the outside world and it’s worries evaporate for the week, being replaced by newfound friends with whom are made memories that will last a lifetime. The non cooking culinary excursion day completes the immersive experience. Claudia, the guest concierge and coordinator of all things practical, serves as a wealth of information while dealing with every guest’s needs and requests. She is a true delight to know. It was a pleasure to meet the owners, who greet each guest as a long time friend. Many guests have or will return for a “refresher”. This was my wife and my fifth time at Tuscookany (third at Ombuto). This itself makes testament to our feeling of the experience. The time spent here will certainly become part of the fabric of your travel memories.
