Marzia
"My house borders the 'di bandella' nature reserve, where the animals of the forest still live. It is a house on one floor, without architectural barriers, recently renovated: modern and equipped kitchen, guest reception room, oven wood, eat-in kitchen on the veranda outside, where we have the Pratomagno massif in the background. I have a large vegetable garden, where I try to stock up on products for the winter and lots of farm animals. When the time comes I go in search of herbs spontaneous, in order to make the filling for ravioli, and I dedicate myself to mushroom picking."

- My husband and I had a great time doing Marzia’s tiramisu cookery class. She showed us how to make and assemble tiramisu in two ways and it was absolutely delicious. She was very friendly and warm and we enjoyed conversing with the help of google translate! We had such a good time we also asked her to cook a meal for our family another evening and we’re so glad we did. The four course meal she made was delicious - all fresh and homemade including Tuscan specialties and her family recipes. Thanks so much Marzia!
- I could not recommend Marzia enough. The whole experience was so much fun, really educational and we’ve left Tuscany with incredible memories of our afternoon in her kitchen. Was the highlight of our trip.
- This hands on pasta class was a highlight of our trip! Marzia is amazing! Patient, fun, and knowledgeable. We learned to make pasta from scratch and it was delicious. She went out of her way to prepare gluten free pasta for me! The whole experience was warm, welcoming and authentically Italian! She is the best!
- Marzia was a wonderful teacher! We had a fun evening learning how to make ravioli and tagliatelle and tiramisu. She does amazing things with pasta shapes. Marzia surprised us with an appetizer of eggplant parmesan. It was one of the best things I ate while in Italy!
- First I would like to mention that Marzia is a wonderful hostess and teacher! We created a 3 course meal: ravioli spinici, tagliatelle pomodoro, and tiramisu! Each course created came out fit for serving to our own guests. We learned the proper technique for kneading and stretching the dough for the pastas, and whipping the egg whites for the tiramisu. All this while conversing via google translate when points of clarity were needed. She will provide all the recipes for us to recreate this meal at home. All in all it was a highlight of our vacation here in Italy.
