Unreliable and Disorganised – Avoid If You’re a Solo Traveler

Molly_F, Sep 2025

I booked this cooking class a month in advance and was really looking forward to it. On the day, I was waiting to be picked up as arranged — but nobody turned up. When I contacted the operator, they immediately cancelled, saying it was a “2 person minimum” and that they thought they had cancelled my booking earlier (they hadn’t). This left me stranded on the roadside, upset, and with my whole day ruined. I hadn’t budgeted for another activity at short notice, and now I have to wait several days for my refund. This experience was extremely disappointing and shows how unorganised and unreliable the operator is. If you are a solo traveler, I would strongly advise booking with a more reliable company that values communication and doesn’t leave customers waiting with no notice.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Molly, We are truly sorry for the experience you had and for the inconvenience caused. We completely understand your disappointment, and we sincerely apologize for leaving you with such a negative impression. The problem originates from the booking system: our tours require a minimum of two participants, but occasionally the system still accepts single bookings — something we, as a very small business of only three people, cannot fully control. We care deeply about personal contact with our guests, which is why we always ask for a call or message at least 24 hours before the tour to confirm the pick-up location and know about allergies or intollerance. Unfortunately, we did not receive this confirmation in your case, but we recognize that the error goes beyond this detail. Once again, please accept our sincere apologies and thank you for your feedback, which helps us to improve and avoid such situations in the future. Valerio

Great cooking and eating experience!

Fantastic cooking class hosted by Isabella and Valerio! They welcomed us into their home, taught us how to make two kinds of delicious Sardinian pasta, and then we all shared a lovely meal with appetizers, our homemade treats, and excellent wine and desserts. We learned a lot about Sardinian culture and felt like part of the family by the time we left. Highly recommend!

Thank you Shelley ❤️

Best birthday!

Fabulous class! Isabella and Valerio were wonderful hosts and excellent chef instructors. They welcomed us into their home for the class and made us feel very welcome. We made traditional Sardinian pastas—culurgiones and malloreddus—which we thoroughly enjoyed at lunch along with tasty local appertivos and wine. This was a really great way to spend my birthday. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to explore regional cooking. Enjoyed spending a little time with their family, Frieda and Bella, too!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

It was wonderful meeting you and sharing this day with you!

Don’t read- just book this experience

Jason_M, Jun 2024

This was NOT a cooking class. This was cooking with friends and having an AMAZING experience. Of course, we learned pasta making, a little of Sardinian history, and the night was a great introduction to Sardinia. More than anything, we had an amazing experience and made new friends. If you’re on the fence BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE. My wife loved it, my impossible to please teenage daughters loved it. Stop reading!! Just book! And for Gods sake…no mushrooms on the carbonara!!

Thank you <3

Best cultural experience

Sharon_M, May 2023

The most authentic experience of our trip to Sardinia. Isabelle and Valerio welcomed us into their beautiful home and were excellent teachers to teach us how to make two traditional pasta types. They shared the recipes as well as prepared a beautiful lunch but they were also so knowledgeable about Sardinia itself. A fun activity with our adult children.

Fabulous culinary experience!

Gina_W, Sep 2022

What a wonderful experience! Isabella and Valerio were great fun hosts! We thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make traditional Sardinian culurgiones and gnocchi! Loved the weaving of the culurgiones and can’t wait to try them at home. There were four of us from the US and three more from Germany - delightful classmates! Would absolutely highly recommend our experience. Thank you Isabella and Valerio, individually you are marvelous, together you are a fabulous team! Bravo! Grazie mille! Gina

Lots of fun

Angela_D, Jul 2022

What a wonderful experience with this lovely family. We enjoyed learning about Sardagna and the local village, as well as, learning how to make the pastas. Finished with a full meal of antipasto, the pasta 🍝 we created in their delicious sauce and coffee ☕️. Unable to add my photos to this site 🤷‍♀️ Definitely worth it!!

Incredible class!

Marina_G, Apr 2022

This was an excellent pasta making experience, and the hostess and her husband were absolutely wonderful. They welcomed us into their home with such hospitality and warmth, and taught us traditional Sardinian pasta. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would strongly recommend that anyone visiting Sardinia to do this class!

Wonderful experience

Ein Muss für alle, die sardische Küche von tollen Menschen kennenlernen wollen

Iryna_L, Jun 2023

Isabella, Roberta und Valerio Waren ganz wunderbare Gastgeber. Mein Teenager-Sohn genoss dir Erfahrung die Culurgiones und Malluredus in einer freundlichen Umgebung zuzubereiten. Wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Vormittag, haben besondere Menschen kennengelernt und ein leckeres Essen genossen. Vielen Dank nochmal dafür!

Exelente experiencia! Sorpresa compartida en familia y con amigos!

Pasta Kurs in Sinnai

Stefan_L, Oct 2019

Der Kurs hat unsere Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen. Wir hatten mit Valerio, Isabell und ihre Mama einen wunderschönen Tag, gelernt wie man typisch sardische Pasta zubereitet und Isabell hat dazu noch eine Sugo gekocht, die seinesgleichen sucht. Es war alles in allem ein ein tolles Erlebnis mit sehr lieben und freundlichen Menschen. Wir wurden hier sehr familiär aufgenommen, haben viel erfahren (nicht nur über das sardische Essen) und haben auch viel gelacht. Wir möchten uns bei Valerio, Isabell und ihrer Mama noch einmal ganz herzlich für die tolle Erfahrung bedanken und können diese mit einem sehr guten Gefühl weiter empfehlen.
