Highlight of our Italy trip - My wife and I stayed at Lucretia’s air bnb upstairs. We did the Opera in the kitchen our second night and just went downstairs, so convenient staying here. It was wonderful, this is a “must do” if you’re anywhere in the area. Highly highly recommend this.

Great cooking experience! - Wonderful experience with Lucrezia at her home! We made a cavatelli from scratch and took away new lessons to try at home! Loved that she showed little tricks here and there as we prepped and cooked our meals. Highly recommend this experience to everyone in the Tuscan region. We are downloading the recipe book!

Highlight of our trip! - What a beautiful, authentic experience!! First of all, the location is absolutely magical. This is what I pictured in my head when I thought of Italy!! Secondly, Francesca was such a dear woman with a warm personality - she was patient and really loves what she does. She was attentive throughout the entire experience and really showed us the best customer service. I have to say, that she was the nicest person we met on our entire journey throughout Italy! The food was incredible - it inspired us to cook more when we get home and use fresher ingredients made from scratch. And the opera performance just made the night unforgettable!! She was a fanatic performer and it was basically like having front row seats to a private concert and the songs brought tears to my eyes, they were so beautiful!!! Overall, it was worth every penny and I’m so glad we included this unique experience into our travel plans while in Italy. It was truly a wonderful taste of Tuscany!!

Fun and Relaxing! - This was so much fun! I feel fortunate to have been able to do this in person with a group of eight, including teenagers. We were guided well with grace and humor to make the dishes and then we thoroughly enjoyed eating them! The opera at the end was a beautiful end to a wonderful evening in this unique, peaceful setting. If you can do this, go!

Most fun we had in tuscany! - Please do this tour. You will not regret it, even if you are not a fan of opera music, this tour will make you a fan. Lucrezia is an amazing host who is very knowledgeable of her craft. To see an up close video, check out my youtube channel, "Not Your Average Abroad" and look out for my video, Epic Trip Through Tuscany. Hope you enjoy your visit!

Opera in the kitchen - We had a great time! Lucretia was an excellent host. I believe we all had a good time. There were even a couple of professional chefs in the group, and they seemed to be enjoying the event as much as we were.
