Hi from Barbara!

Barbara welcomes us in Montepulciano Station, a historic village nestled on the hills in the province of Siena, near the characteristic medieval village is surrounded by three circular walls and is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the area. If you see it for yourself, you'll soon understand why: the old town sprawls over a steep hill, adorned with stunning towers and steeples, while its square opens onto the breathtaking panorama of the Tuscan countryside. Our Cesarina’s country house encapsulates this charming atmosphere. Her beautiful wine cellar is home to dozens of aging bottles of local wine, and the rest of the apartment is warm and welcoming. It is here that Barbara serves us her local specialties; simple, but with sterling character and unforgettable taste.

: My aunt and I had the most wonderful time (and food!) at Barbara's. Her space is comfortable and inviting and she is such a wonderful and welcoming human. There were two other couples with us and we had a wonderful time chatting over the best meal we had on our Italy tour. Thank you, Barbara, for such a great evening.
: Barbara was warm and inviting in her beautiful home. She shared 2 pasta recipes and then we could choose to make biscotti or tiramisu for dessert. The pasta recipes were ones she used to make with her Grammie. Barbara is very skilled in the kitchen, has the tools you need to make everything, and is a great teacher and conversationalist. My husband and I had a great time and would highly recommend this experience!
: Barbara was an excellent instructor. We really enjoyed our class and can’t wait to try our new skills at home. You can’t miss with this class.
: Amazing experience. Barbara and her family was so welcoming ! Food was also amazing!
