Casa Ombuto, where our cooking classes in Tuscany are held, is a Tuscan villa that pre-dates 1800 (its original section dates to at least 1642). Set in a secluded hilltop on an 80 acre large estate it offers absolute peace and quiet with spectacular views of the surrounding hills. The closest village is Poppi with its enchanting castle has been classified "I Borghi piu belli d’Italia” - as one of the most beautiful villages of Italy. It is in the Casentino valley with the spectacular National Forest which is wonderful for hiking.  Upon arrival at Casa Ombuto most guests say immediately that the pictures on the website do not do the accommodation justice - it's much better in reality!

Bedrooms all have ensuite marble bathrooms Casa Ombuto has 8 stylish double bedrooms all with adjoining luxurious marbled bathrooms with either a bath or shower. All the suites have either wonderful terraces or balconies with spectacular views. The accommodation has been attractively furnished with great attention to detail. Cozy living rooms with fireplaces, furnished with teak colonial-style furniture (custom-made for us in Bali) reflect our passion for international travel and collecting international pieces. The original wooden beams and terracotta floors have been restored and create a true Tuscan ambiance.
