An Incredible Experience!
My 17 year-old daughter and I had a wonderful experience at Antonella's Villa just outside of Florence. Antonella is both a great chef and a great teacher. Some of the highlights of our experience were the incredible soufflé that she taught us to make and also making pasta by hand was so nice to do. We then made a tiramisu for dessert. Definitely a highlight of our trip that I highly recommend to anyone reading this. This is a five star experience at a breathtaking Villa with incredible views.

Best part of Italy!
This cooking class was an absolute highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we arrived, we were taken care of in every possible way. The host was truly phenomenal; warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing both incredible food and an unforgettable experience. The dishes we prepared (and devoured!) were hands down the most amazing food we’ve had the whole time we’ve been here. Every bite was fresh, authentic, and beyond delicious. The setting itself feels like something out of a dream. The home is stunning, beautifully designed, and the views are downright breathtaking. It created the perfect backdrop for a memorable and relaxing experience. If you’re considering this class—do it. You’ll feel welcomed, inspired, and completely spoiled from start to finish. An absolute 10/10.
Response from the operator: Thank you Daniel for the wonderful review you wrote. You've described the house, the view, and the entire experience from start to finish. It will be helpful for future guests. Thank you, and I hope you've shared your dining experience with your friends and family. It's a great Italian souvenir! Long live Italian food and cuisine! With Love! Antonella

Incredible experience at a cooking class
Antonella is an amazing instructor. Her house is incredible. We had some of the best food we ever had there. It exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this experience. The time allotted is perfect.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Hassan, for sharing your experience. It will be very helpful to future guests, and I thank you so much for that. I hope to see you again someday. With love Antonella

Amazing experience!!
We had an amazing experience at Antonella and Paolo’s beautiful home with a gorgeous view! I highly recommend this!! We were there with one other fun couple, and were offered great coffee or juice upon arriving, did food prep out on their patio with a nice canopy, and the weather was absolutely perfect! We loved the small group setting, had delicious wine while food was cooking and more with our meal! Antonella was a wonderful host and teacher, and it was so fun! The food was absolutely delicious, and I can’t wait to make the recipes at home for our family! We will think of our wonderful experience every time!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with your review, it was a great joy to have you as guests, I hope this experience was useful for preparing your recipes with your family. Hope to see you again soon! With love Antonella

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group cost?
+
Prices start at $294 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 Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 106 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 Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group?
+
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 Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group?
+
Around 37 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group 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 Cooking Class in a Florentine Villa with Transfer for small group?
+
Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Round-trip private transfer; Lunch; and Beverages Wine tuscany and cooffee. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
