I had higher expectations from Cesarine

Liza_C, Nov 2022

Overall, Daniela (my host) was amazing and is a very good cook! She explained many things about her recipes and how some traditions were passed down from her grandmother. I enjoyed the food and our conversation. But there were some problems and some things did not make sense. 1. Booking confirmation said my host's name is Sara. I messaged on the mobile number the night before, but she said her name is Daniela. Sara is Daniela's daughter. How and why do the tour operator have Daniela's daughter's name and why did they give me the wrong information???? 2. When I arrived, Daniela needed to go to the shop to buy ingredients, leaving me in her home alone. Maybe this is not safe in case anything was to happen - either to the guest or to the property. 3. I came back from the tour and I remembered Daniela did not give me my tote bag and apron. (Website says guests will receive a bag and apron). I messaged Daniela with the screenshot of the website and she said tour operator gave wrong information on the website but she can give me the apron only if I meet with her 2 days later. Today, I met with Daniela and picked up the apron. I came back to my hotel only to find the apron is used and has dirty food marks. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. Either take off the section from the website and lower the price or give the hosts new merchandise to give to guests.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hello, Thank you for sharing your opinion with us. It is always important for us to listen to our customers. We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we are gutted when we don’t meet expectations. Our hosts share their love for cooking and teaching with their families, for this reason you were given her daughter's details, who collaborates with her during the classes. We will use your feedback to make us better and to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Italy. Warm regards, Cesarine Team
