The setting was intimate and we felt like we visited a friend as much as attended a class. Rapheala was passionate about her craft and patient with our inexperience. We learned some great techniques and then enjoyed the fruits of our labor with a wonderful meal.

Italian hands-on cookery class in the Umbrian countryside

Beverley_B, Sep 2024
My husband and I had a wonderful morning learning the tips of pasta making, plus making all the other courses for our four course lunch - and then we enjoyed the food with home grown wine! Thoroughly recommended!

Great cooking class!

We had a great time at Raffaella's cooking class. Her home was lovely and the food she shared with us was delicious. We learned a lot and shared a delicious meal at the end of it!

YOU MUST DO THIS IF YOU LOVE FOOD!

A true working farmhouse and family home. Farm owner / BnB owner and chef Rappella couldn't have been more charming, personable and welcoming. We were really hands on and the final results were just as amazing as the environment we cooked in. 6-stars easily!

Great cooking lesson and even better meal.

I was so excited to take my son to an authentic hands-on Italian cooking class, as making pasta is one of his favorite activities. We were not disappointed! Raffaella was a wonderful teacher and amazing cook. She taught us four recipes, tips we’d never heard, and did it all with patience and humor. We thoroughly enjoyed being in her home and having this experience. After all the food was cooked, we ate in her beautiful back yard. It could not have been better! The food was incredible. She taught us well!

Great cooking class

Raffaella was a great host and cook. We learned so much and she is very knowledgeable of the local cuisine and some of the other cuisines of Italy. She kept us engaged and made cooking fun. One of the highlights of our trip.

An unmissable Umbrian experience!

We absolutely loved this class! It was certainly something we were very glad we had booked. It was a joy to be taught such a range of tips and techniques by Rafaella who has a wealth of experience. She is an excellent teacher! She catered brilliantly to my dietary needs which was much appreciated. Certainly a must-book as it was well worth it!

Italian cooking at its best!
