reviews from our happy customers

All around Italy

Amazing idea and wonderful network giving people from all over the world the opportunity to connect :)! The Cesarine host I got connected with was incredible and I will never forget the truly unique and beautiful moment The Network is super helpful and reliable: I had to move my appointment super spontaneously (my boyfriend got sick) from Monday in Agrigent (south of Sicily) to Catania (west of Sicily) on a Sunday; no problem for Cesarine. Even on a Sunday afternoon the lady on the telephone (Alessandra) was super nice and quickly came up with a solution. Recommend this whole experience to everybody

Super unique experience!

Amazing experience learning how to cook in a warm and happy family atmosphere. We laughed, we drank, we cooked and we ate the best food in Italy. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this cooking experience

Cooking Italian pasta and making Tiramisu with Barbara was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. She kindly welcomed us to her beautiful home and made us feel comfortable right away, gave us interesting information about the place and found a great way of introducing us to the Italian cuisine. Not only did we learn to make three delicious meals but Barbara made us feel so welcome, appreciated and cared for. We felt like cooks and guests at the same time. It was a delightful day all around and the highlight of our vacation in Italy! We would come back for this amazing experience - thank you for having us, Barbara!!

We had an amazing time!
