High season: weekly stay, from Saturday to Saturday
Mid / low season: shorter stays are possible, with a minimum stay of 3 nights.

• Cooking classes can be organized for groups or for individuals. The course (which lasts about 2 hours and a half) will take place in the kitchen of the Castello where the participants, helped by the chef and her staff, will prepare a typical Italian meal. The participants will be provided with some aprons, chefs hats and everything that is necessary for the cookery. The recipes will be written out for them as well. In this way, you will have the chance to seize the secret of a typical Tuscan cooking, for exemple to prepare some good gnocchi or tortelloni with tomato sauce.
• Followed by a Tuscan stew and a home-made dessert (according to our cook’s choice of the day), the partecipants will also be able to sample some of our own wine while they are cooking. And here you have a real Tuscan lunch!
• Finally, there will be a guided tour of the Castle and a lunch with the dishes prepared by the partecipants. With some more of the wine made from the vineyards surrounding the Castello. E buon appetito!
