A Truly Authentic Tuscan Experience - Fantastic and truly authentic experience, one of the highlights of my trip! Guya welcomed us warmly into her real family home, a beautiful villa set in the hills, surrounded by countryside and olive trees, with an amazing view over the city of Florence. We prepared ravioli, tagliatelle, and meatballs together, and everything was absolutely delicious. I felt completely at ease in such a cozy and genuine atmosphere. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic experience!

One of a kind experience with amazing hosts - Guya and Matteo welcomed us to a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We came to a nice country house just outside Florence. The view of the city and surrounding mountains is amazing. After enjoying tea, you get to learn pasta making and a meatball recipe as it is passed through generations in the family. As we enjoy the food, wine, music and great conversations, it truly feels you have been invited to a friend’s house to enjoy the evening. A one-of-a-kind experience—we will remember Guya and Matteo’s warm hospitality for many years to come.

Il momento migliore di siempre. - This was an excellent experience—we’re still talking about it! Guya and Matteo were wonderful hosts—teaching us how to make pasta, meatballs and gelato in Guya’s family home, overlooking Florence—it was a magical setting watching the sunset over the city. We got to meet fellow travelers, making it an enjoyable, fun evening. We would definitely recommend doing this—it was the highlight of our trip! Thank you Guya and Matteo!!

Ultimate Italian Food Experience - Grazie Matteo & Guya for sharing your authentic recipes with us. Our group learned so much about pasta making and we had a great time. The overall group was 7 people which was the perfect size to learn and share our stories. The view of Tuscany was beautiful from the villa rooftop, we will have many memories.

The Best Italian Experience - We can’t say enough good things about the cooking class we did with Guya and Matteo in Florence. It was hands-down the best thing we did during our entire week in Italy. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at home. This wasn’t just a class; it felt like spending the afternoon with old friends (who just happen to be amazing cooks). We made several kinds of pasta from scratch (which was way more fun than we expected), meatballs that were absolutely delicious, and finished with homemade gelato. What really stood out, though, was how personal everything felt. Guya and Matteo were so warm, genuine, and generous with their time and stories. You could tell this wasn’t a commercial operation – it was something they put their hearts into, and it showed in every detail. They shared family traditions with us. We’ve done other experiences in Italy that felt more “touristy,” but this one was on a whole different level. We laughed, learned, and ate one of the best meals of our trip. If you’re in Florence and want to do something authentic and meaningful, do not miss this class. It’s something we’ll remember forever.

❤️ Florence - Such a beautiful and authentic Tuscan experience! Guya was kind, welcoming, and full of passion. The view from the villa is breathtaking, and every dish we made was delicious. The round-trip car transfer from Florence was a great bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

My wife and I did this... - My wife and I did this cooking class while on our honeymoon. This experience was truly the highlight of our honeymoon. Guya and Matteo were absolutely incredible hosts, with Guya truly opening up her home to us and making my wife and I feel like we were a part of her family. We learned to cook amazing pastas, drank delicious wines, and enjoyed our meal afterwards on the beautiful terrace of the villa. We cannot recommend this experience enough!
