2- COOKING CLASSES for Tuscan cuisine and wine tasting.The Children’s Cookery School, exciting recipes for singles, the cuisine of the great noble houses of Florence and Tuscany, plus of course all the essential series of lessons on pasta, the star of Italian cuisine.
The Courses are all “hands-on” affairs. You will work, play, taste: but the main thing is that you will be cooking alongside the Chef, in direct contact with ladles, pans, lids, and ovens. The deliberately restricted number of participants ensures that each Guest will be followed carefully and consequently obtain the optimum benefit from the Course.
3- BIKING : With our bikes you can safely reach hidden treasures and enjoy the beauty of the Florence ’s hills an ideal starting point for active holidays. There are miles of trails out our doorstep where you can go hiking and mountain biking. The panoramic drive to Lago di Romena is as pleasant as the lake itself. There you will find unspoilt nature and a variety of sports and leisure activities.
