- Carolina and Simona were superb hosts. From the moment we pulled up to their home they were there to greet us. They were so welcoming and their home is beautiful. It was truly a unique Italian experience, would highly recommend! They were so organized and they worked seamlessly side by side supporting our culinary experience. The food was incredible and meeting their puppy Charlie at the end of the night sealed the deal as a spectacular all round adventure!
- Such a great experience for my husband and I! We learned a lot about how to prepare pasta and tiramisu! One of our favorite experiences on our trip
- We had an excellent time with Carolina and Simona. The tiramisu was divine and learning to make pasta was so much fun! The best part, though, was enjoying the fruits of our labor and having time to chat. Highly recommend making time to do this experience on your itinerary.
- Simona e Carolina sono state stupende. Hanno avuto un grande pazienza e disponibilità. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo grazie per la vostra disponibilità e una serata indimenticabile, un abbraccio dalla Germania
- Un’esperienza davvero speciale. Carolina e la mamma Simona ci hanno accolto nella loro casa con una gentilezza e un calore rari, facendoci sentire fin da subito non come ospiti, ma parte della famiglia. La loro passione per il cibo e l’ospitalità si respira in ogni dettaglio: dai piatti curati e deliziosi, fino ai sorrisi sinceri che ci hanno accompagnato per tutta la serata. Anche la dolcissima cagnolina Carlotta ha contribuito a rendere l’atmosfera ancora più accogliente e familiare. Tutto perfetto: ci siamo sentiti a nostro agio, coccolati e benvenuti. Un’esperienza autentica che porteremo nel cuore. Consigliatissima, per chi cerca molto più di una semplice cena!
