You will live a unique and authentic experience in our Villa located in the Florentine hills and surrounded by the countryside with a beautiful view of Florence. I will be happy to teach you the secrets of the recipes that my grandparents handed down to me with love. We will prepare together two types of HOMEMADE PASTA: Tagliatelle and Ravioli Then we will cook the meatballs with tomato sauce and at the end I will show you how to prepare a good homemade ICE CREAM “smoked with coffee” mocha or with fresh fruit. You will eat prepared food on the terrace of the villa surrounded by nature and drink together excellent Tuscan WINES (bubbly , white and organic red). The beautiful VIEW of the city of Florence will make this experience unique and unrepeatable. It will be nice to tell you a bit about the story of my family and grandparents by showing you the memory book. We use high quality local products, many organic. We welcome small groups to make the experience more intimate and familiar.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views take?
+
Plan for about 3.7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 3.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Private transportation; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Florence. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cook Authentic Tuscan Food at My Villa with Views?
+
