Scam Provider support disappointing.

Cheryl_S, Sep 2025

Complete scam. Meeting point at intersection of 5 streets. Called support and they couldn’t contact provider, had phone number which was disconnected and address which was vacant lot per Google Maps.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Cheryl, We are sorry to read these lines. Please note that we have been responsive to each one of your messages and we sent you the correct address several times, together with your host's private phone number, which you never called. We are sorry you could not find the meeting point but we ask you do understand we did provide all the necessary information. Warm regards,

Great fun, perfect host

My wife and I had such a wonderful experience. The hospitality was second to none and the making and cooking of all the dishes was fun and carefully explained. We would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn how to cook home made Sicilian food and have fun whilst doing it with the added bonus of a great host and stunning views from the apartment

Would give it more than 5 stars if I could!

Ceassarine Grazy taught us how to make some wonderful meals from scratch, and we learned things that we will be trying at home all the time. The food and wine was wonderful, and Grazy made us feel like we were eating with a member of our family as we chatted about our lives. I would love to take more classes with Grazy!

All of it! Graziella was...

Neta_B, Jul 2022

All of it! Graziella was amazing and very patient and kind! She taught us to make great pasta and Parmegianna and also gave my husband a sweet surprise from her:) Unfortunately we couldn’t try the dessert we made as I had an emergency and didn’t feel well so we had to leave, but even in that situation Graziella helped us, called some help and was super kind and understanding. Thank you!🙏🏻

A great Sicilian experience

Graziella is an excellent instructor who teaches in a very relaxed way which makes the evening a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend. Also Alessandro in Cesarine was most helpful in setting the evening up.
