Overview
Imagine learning to cook Italian and Mediterranean dishes in our Tuscan 18th century Limonaia kitchen. The kitchen was originally used as the greenhouse for the lemon trees during the winter. Now it has been thoughtfully transformed into a commercial Tuscan kitchen with stunning views of the Tuscan hills and our lemon garden. The views from the grand windows will inspire and entrance you as you cook.
After the class guests will eat lunch, drink local wine and tea or coffee surrounded by history and stunning Tuscan architecture. They will either enjoy a long lunch in the Limonaia kitchen or our stunning dining room with grand crystal chandeliers and 18th century frescoed walls.
They are welcome to stay longer and play a game of tennis on our court, or visit the local village, or relax in our lemon garden.
