Hi from Eleonora!
I am Eleonora, a true cooking enthusiast living in a charming farmhouse nestled in the Umbrian countryside. My greatest passion is preparing homemade pasta, using exclusively locally-sourced ingredients to ensure authentic and genuine flavors.I live surrounded by nature and its fresh produce, provided by the seasons and the surrounding area. I love sharing the Umbrian culinary tradition with my guests, highlighting local flavors through the use of raw materials cultivated in the fields near my farmhouse.

- This was such a fantastic experience! Our large family (10 adults and 3 kids) enjoyed every moment. The welcome, DELICIOUS charcuterie, fettuccine making, ravioli making; and then sitting down together to the ravioli we prepared - all while sipping excellent local wines - life just doesn’t get better! Eleonora finished our meal with a delicious, local version of tiramisu that was a huge hit with our family. This was very well managed and joyfully delivered. Eleanora is an absolute gem(!), and son Francesco is a sommelier with a great food and wine. Perhaps the strongest recommendation came the following day, when I heard few of my non-cooking, adult kids talking “I can’t wait to make fresh pasta for my housemates when I get home,” and “I want to practice pasta making as soon as we get back so I don’t forget.” Wish I could give this 6 stars!
- Our Fettuccine and Ravioli cooking class with Eleanora was spectacular. An amazing and authentic experience that ends in a delicious meal. If you’re looking for a way to really learn how to make fresh pasta in a calm, supportive environment, this is the class for you! Book today - you won’t regret it!!
- We had a great time learning to make focaccia and pizza, and we were also treated to a wine, cheese, and olive oil tasting afterwards. Great experience we would recommend to anyone !
- Eleonora provided a fantastic experience for our family!
- Eleonora was very kind and hospitable. She has a great passion for authenticity and the food of Italy. It was a privilege to learn from her. We really enjoyed our lesson.
