Exceeded expectations - The entire experience was amazing! The hosts made us feel at home at their lovely Tuscan manor with breathtaking views. We were never rushed and Fabrizio took his time to accommodate every guest. Gon Marco and Tabu, our truffle hunting dog, were an incredible team, not stopping until we had more than enough truffles for our delicious lunch.

Don't hesitate to book! - This experience exceeded my expectations! I was thinking we'd just go into the forest to look for truffles and then make pasta. But they fed us a ton, chatted with us a bit and made us feel at home. Every staff member was so knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Truffle Hunt, Pasta Class and World-class Hospitality - We spent a memorable day at Cofferi1242! Despite the rainy weather, our spirits weren't dampened. After Fabrizio provided us with rainboots, THE CUTEST dog, Joy, followed by her owner, Lucca, took us on a delightful hunt to look for truffles. Our group entered the woods as strangers but came out as friends. Next, Fabrizio taught us how to make pasta, mixing, rolling, folding, and cutting. Between the stages of pasta preparation, Fabrizio and his son showered us with Italian hospitality. Fabrizio's son prepared bruschetta, and Fabrizio served us delicious homemade wine surrounded by a spectacular view. Later, they brought a massive platter of local charcuterie products and more wine to our group, followed by our own pasta topped with the foraged truffles that Joy had found. YUM! To top the experience off, they served us a fruity dessert, bruschetta, which Camilla had made. This adventure was unique, authentic, and fun. Not only did we get our "puppy fix" so far from home, but we also found an appreciation for the love and tradition this wonderful family brought to our "beyond words" experience!

Highlight of our trip! - We had the most amazing experience - a real highlight of our honeymoon! The hunt itself was very informative and we learnt so much about truffles and hunting dogs. The cooking class we did after was an equally enjoyable experience, and all of the food was delicious - make sure you're hungry when you go! Give yourself a good 4-5 hours for this experience to soak it all in and enjoy the beautiful property.

The best day ever!!! - We are a family of 7 and we have all said Cofferi 1242 truffle hunting and cooking was one of the most special experiences we have ever done as a family. The setting is exquisite, Fabrizio and his family make the whole day so special. The food is delicious too. It is a must if you visit the Florence area of Tuscany!!

An absolute must do! - We had the best time. Such a different experience going truffle hunting with the gorgeous puppy Joy. Fabrizio, Camilla and Niccolo were so accommodating to us as we are vegetarian, the food was incredible and so delicious and the pasta making was very fun. We got to eat with the most incredible view of the Tuscan hills. Unbelievable value for money!

An Absolutely Amazing Experience - A Must-Do! - I cannot recommend Cofferi’s 1242 Hours Truffle Hunting with Pasta Cooking Class and Lunch highly enough! It was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The day began with a fascinating truffle hunt, guided by Joy, the most adorable and skilled dog. Watching her in action was such a unique and captivating part of the experience. After the hunt, we joined a cooking class led by Fabrizio, a member of the family that runs this charming business. He taught us how to make pasta from scratch, sharing his expertise and passion in a way that made the whole process so enjoyable. It felt special to learn from someone so devoted to their craft. The highlight, though, was the incredible lunch that followed. They prepared an amazing platter of food using the fresh pasta we had made, accompanied by truffles from our hunt. As vegetarians, we were thrilled by how accommodating they were, ensuring that every dish suited our dietary preferences without compromising on flavour or variety. The food was absolutely outstanding – the best I’ve ever had! The variety, the taste, and the presentation were all top-notch, and there was so much to enjoy. What made it all even more special was the stunning view overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany. Sitting there, enjoying this incredible meal with such a breathtaking backdrop, was unforgettable. Cofferi is a family-run business, and their warmth and hospitality shine through in every aspect of the experience. The location was easy to access, making the day stress-free and relaxed. Before leaving, we also picked up some wonderful products from their charming little shop to take a bit of the experience home with us. If you’re looking for a unique, hands-on culinary adventure with exceptional food, stunning views, and a truly welcoming atmosphere, this is the perfect experience. We had the best time and would recommend it to everyone!

Amazing - Such an amazing experience, we got to meet so many wonderful people, from all over the world, while truly diving into those Tuscan sceneries, enjoying great wine (also made by the host family) and amazing food. They were so welcoming and kind and went out of their way to make our experience unique and remarkable, so that we could just relax and have fun laughing for almost 7 hours straight. I totally recommend this experience!
