“this is the experience of a lifetime--not to be missed.”


5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2011


This was one of the best experiences of my life. Torre del Tartufo is absolutely beautiful, and the surrounding views are breathtaking. We had a fairly large class--14--but never felt crowded or overwhelmed. On the contrary, it was an exceptionally compatible group, varied in age and occupation, but we enjoyed each other and laughed together, worked together, and enjoyed the cusine and wine together. I brought home my cookbook, apron, and a lot of happy memories, as well as new knowledge about cooking. Our chef, Franco, is not only a creative and gifted chef, he has a marvelous sense of humor and a lot of patience. The rest of the kitchen staff, as well as the manager and household staff, are helpful, cooperative, and competent.
The only disappointment was that the weather was too cold for swimming, and the pool area is so lovely that I may have to go back with my daughters in the summer to enjoy it.
If you want a beautiful setting, a great cooking experience, and a few pounds from some of the best food you've eaten--and cooked--this is the place to go!
