Have you ever think about spending an exciting holiday in Tuscany for learning the secrets of the Italian Cooking while staying at a fantastic tuscan Villa???? this could be the right time for you to take the time for your self, pack your bags and beeing a part of our group for an unfogettable week of tuscan cooking class.

We are extremely pleased to present our deluxe Villa Fonteinfrancia, the Tuscan farmhouse we have recently renovated, which will officially open in May 2013. We fell in love with this beautiful property after an extensive search and decided to purchase and renovate it, leaving all the features of the original Tuscan style intact while actually enhancing them.

The stone façade, the wide indoor spaces with brick arches, the original stone fireplaces, the terracotta tile floors and wooden beam ceilings have returned to their ancient splendour. The beautiful 11,000 sq m English-style garden surrounding the house, as well as the splendid 20 x 18 m infinity pool with whirlpool bath and beach entry that can hold up to 10 people, attest to the beauty and authenticity of the place.

It's the perfect place for our Cooking Class Weeks. We are sure you will enjoy it very much.

Upon entering the private gate, a path leads to the fenced-in 12-hectare park, where you begin enjoying the typical Tuscan panorama: gaze over a vast green expanse framed by vineyards towards the gentle Tuscan hills, finally noticing the magnificent swimming pool – a beautiful, picturesque view.

The 300 sq m house can host from 8 to 10 people.
Fonteinfrancia is the ideal spot to enjoy a relaxing vacation just a stone's throw from the sea. It is perfect for our cooking groups.

You could choose one of our 4 elegant Rooms, each one with the name of a tuscan historical figure:
Master Room Dante Alighieri
Room Leonardo da Vinci
Room Michelangelo
Suite Galileo Galilei

Then you will love for sure our original tuscan kitchen, with the warm fireplace where togehter with our chef, you will learn all the secrets fo the tipical italian receipts.
Finally you will enjoy the company of people coming from all over the world and eat all together at the large table of our fantastic living-room or maybe you could relax in front of our large fireplace drinking one of our selcted wines.

It's a fantastic atmosphere where you could find good friends and enjoy all togehter the interesting cooking lessons of our Chef......each day new receipts and new emotions.

The property's location is excellent, just a short drive away from the town of Cecina with its shops for the basic necessities, supermarkets, all kinds of restaurants and the characteristic weekly market that snakes throughout the streets of the centre every Tuesday morning – it's one of the largest in Tuscany, and its stands offer everything from clothes to shoes to fresh produce.

All the main tourist centres in Tuscany can be reached very easily.
Pisa and its important airport (the main airport in Tuscany) are just a 30-minute car ride away. Of course you could decide to fly to Florence and in this case you will need around 60 minutes by car.

Volterra and San Gimignano are also about 30 minutes away, while Florence and Siena can be reached in about an hour.
In the summer season, from May to late November, the beautiful nearby Costa degli Etruschi, with its 20 km of sandy beaches, is a must; visit a different beach every day!

We are areally waiting for you and we hope to meet you very soon
