I'm Francesca, passionate about cooking and gastronomy. I learned the art of fresh pasta from my grandmother in her pasta shop, where we started to host this experience. Then I moved it at my house, a true pasta workshop in a beautiful villa on top of the hills, with a stunning view of Florence. I founded “Francyspasta” in 2017, that won several Airbnb Experiences awards, and changed completely my life in better.Time after time I created a group of passionate hosts like me, and now we are a crew of pasta makers, Gaia, Luisa, Tommaso, all very special people who will make our time together unique, in the magical atmosphere of our workshop-house, full of love, light and art in the heart of our splendid Tuscany.

    The one activiry not to miss in Florence!!

    If you only do one tour while in Florence, do this one!! My husband and I booked it with friends who were in Florence at the same time, and had the absolutely best day ever!! Alexandro (hope I got that right!) and Francesca were so organized and so much fun!! We started with homemade sweets and espresso, moved onto pasta making and Prosecco, then Gnocchi…in between cooking and preparing we ate bruschetta and made sauce - honestly, all delicious and so approachable! I know I can do this at home! Oh, and I can’t forget homemade limoncello in the garden!!! Really, treat yourself with this activity - you won’t regret it!!

    Pasta making Florence!

    Hands down, best day experience we’ve ever booked with Viator. Gorgeous location in a farmhouse above the city, as advertised. Excellent teaching, wonderful pasta, all recipes supplied. We have a fantastic time with individualized attention. Again, cannot say enough. Book it!

    Florence “must do”!!

    Do yourself a favor & book this incredible experience!! This is a “must do” experience in Florence! Francy & Frankie were absolutely brilliant hosts and this was a truly unique and unforgettable evening. I truly cannot express what a fantastic time we had! The home was stunning in the hills of Florence with incredible views in every direction. Both hosts made the cooking fun and delicious! The wine, the music, the laughs, and of course the food we made were all amazing. If I could give this more than 10/10 I would. The best experience we had on our Italian trip. 🇮🇹💕Highly recommended!

    Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 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 Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.3 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 Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 517 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 Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills?

    +

    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 Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills?

    +

    Around 181 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 3.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills 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 Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; Snacks; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills?

    +

    Meet the driver n front of the "caffè petrarca" in Piazzale di porta romana(at 9.30am for the morning session, 5,30pm for the evening session 5 pm in the winter )in the confirm message. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
