Hi from Anna!

Cernobbio is a quaint village nestled between the splendor of Lake Como and the nearby mountains. An area in which nature, history and art are inseparably connected. A place that manages to evoke innumerable emotions, images and literary memories, from Plinio to Foscolo, from Stendhal to Manzoni."That branch of Lake Como ..." is therefore the perfect opening words to present Anna, our Cesarina, who welcomes us to her splendid home, surrounded by greenery and with a view, of course, of the lake. Anna tells us how her Cesarina adventure began: "everything started a bit for fun. We organized dinners with friends, voting for the best dish. Then with a friend, we started organizing themed dinners and now, with the support of my mother, who is an excellent cook, I'm a Cesarina!"An excellent Cesarina, who loves to cook dishes full of 'flavors from the lake,’ accompanied by fresh vegetables from the garden. She then alternates these wonderful fish dishes with fanciful recipes created using ingredients from the nearby mountains.

The highlight of our trip. My wife and I had a wonderful evening with Anna who provided so much more than a lesson in cooking. We had a wonderful night full of great conversation and amazing food with tons of laughs. She brings an Italian motherly energy that just makes everything fun. She has an amazing spirit, one that my wife and I, will not soon forget.

I am no cook, but still had a fabulous time with Anna, Terry & Carlotta making ravioli(trecolore) and tiramisu in their most-welcoming home, high above Lake Como at Cernobbio ! With their expert help and patience, we actually enjoyed the process as much as the resulting sumptuous lunch and conversations ! It is such a wonderful experience to connect with a real family while enjoying the splendours of Como !

Anna and her sister were the most gracious of hosts; warm, funny and very good company. Anna's home is beautiful with an amazing view of the lake. We had great fun making ravioli from scratch and learned so much not only about pasta-making but the local area. Thoroughly recommend booking with Anna.

Anna and her sister put together the most amazing cooking glass set at their beautiful villa on lake como. It was the most enjoyable cooking class I have ever done abroad. Their warmth and hospitality will make the glass unforgettable. Can’t recommend it enough to anyone staying in Lake como.
