Bellancino is the newest Tuscookany villa which was completed August 2022. The villa is on the Casa Ombuto estate and lies about 100 meters from Casa Ombuto. The name Bellancino comes from the valley Casentino and Bella meaning beautiful, so the most beautiful villa in the Casentino valley (that's what we think!). This villa offers one week Italian or Mediterranean cookery courses. The villa has four luxurious double bedrooms all with private ensuite bathrooms
The cooking week consists of four afternoon cooking lessons and a full day excursion. All meals and beverages are included except lunch and dinner on the free day. It also includes wine pairings and after dinner liquors.
Not all the dates are published on the website but if you send us an enquiry with the period you are interested in, we can check availability and give you further information. To have this week privately you need to book a group of minimum 6 persons.
Other facilities include a private sauna and hottub with a panaromic view
This beautiful new villa has the style of a typical Tuscan villa on the outside but inside is a large open plan area for cooking, dining and relaxing. Wrap around terraces, a rooftop for pre dinner drinks and a sundeck with the best view you can imagine.
On a plateau with a view over the Tuscan hills is the solar heated pool (14m x 7m) which is used by both the Casa Ombuto and Bellancino guests. You can also find fitness equipment at the pool plus a special massage area. The pool area is equipped with garden furniture, sun beds and a barbecue. This breathtaking spot has a great view of the hills, valleys and extensive woods, which is the ideal place to relax and enjoy nature.
Other features include a private hot tub and sauna with a panaromic window and a glorious deck soley for the Bellancino guests.
Outdoor area
A large private outdoor area leads out from the kitchen with a fireplace and a lovely view of the garden and hills and valley.
