Chef Alice, Lena and all the staff at Casa Ombuto made my week of cooking and hiking the best vacation ever.

I just did my second trip to Tuscookany and am already thinking about going back.

We spent a week at Casa Ombuto for cooking and hiking. Our stay was so well planned and executed & we were treated like family.

I want to give a shout out to the Tuscookany organization itself. One can tell from their website that they have worked out everything in minute detail.

Excellence at Casa Ombuto Chef Paola will be one of those teachers that I will remember the rest of my life as well. Great job to the employees of Casa Ombuto and the countryside was magnificent!

WOW! A memorable experience that exceeded my expectations!! By the end of the week you will have learned many new cooking techniques, recipes and made life long friends with the incredible staff and other guests. Thank you so much for making this a memorable experience, which I will never forget!

More than exceeded expectations! What a wonderful week! I expected to learn new techniques, new skills. It was all of that and more. It was FUN! Chef Paola is warm, funny, skillful, a great teacher.I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys cooking and/or wants to learn valuable skills and techniques.

Extraordinary vacation Each cooking session had us eager to learn what we would be cooking. The chef was patient with us and guided us to success. Everyone had one or two dishes to make and it all came together in a wonderful table for lunch and/or dinner.
