Amazing experience!!
Asia’s cooking class was fantastic, my newlywed and I thoroughly loved it. Asia broke down the recipes and made it very simple for us and the dishes were amazing, tasted better than the top rated restaurants that we tried! She was so personable and just a lovely gal!

Asia’s Cooking Class-amazing experience! !
We cannot say enough about Asia’s Cooking Class in September. She made the class so much fun … we enjoyed it immensely! We made three different pastas … we all had the opportunity to make each one of them. Her expertise, knowledge and encouragement throughout the class was amazing. My husband was so thrilled because he had never made anything like this in his life and he had a great time. She graciously served the delish meal to us with such eloquence. Her wine, which was her private label, was wonderful. We bought some from her! We highly recommend Asia’s class … you don’t want to miss it!! She also emailed us the recipes which we can’t wait to try ! If we cross the pond again from North Carolina, USA, we will definitely put Asia‘s cooking class on top of the list of things to do!

Amazing class and chef!
We could not have asked for a better experience! Asia and her assistant taught us how to make three different pastas. They were patient and informative for those of us who are not chefs. It was a lovely dinner and dessert. They joined us at the end of the evening to enjoy a glass of wine and good cheer. We strongly recommend this opportunity!

You simply must!
Asia’s genuine warmth, talent, passion for food and wine and patience was world class! Such an experience, not only worth it but you simply would not have a full Toscana Villa experience without! Thank you chef!

Highest recommendation!
Our family of 10 had an amazing evening. Asia was delightful and we appreciated both her expertise in cooking and her ability to teach. Young and old followed all the steps and mastered the techniques of making three distinct types of pasta. Dinner was beautifully presented and festively served on our terrace, each pasta with a unique and delicious sauce. Tiramisu for dessert was wonderful. All set up and clean up was handled efficiently so we could enjoy it all. A family memory to treasure! We are all looking forward to recreating the recipes Asia shared.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arezzo.
How much does Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa cost?
+
Prices start at $171 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arezzo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Arezzo is not rushed.
Is Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 42 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arezzo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa?
+
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 Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa?
+
Around 15 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 Arezzo 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 Arezzo and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa 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 Arezzo 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 Arezzo?
+
On Outty we rank every Arezzo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour of the vineyards and tasting of Evo wines and oil in Tuscany, Wine and olive oil tastings with the locals, Cellar Tour & Wine Tasting. 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 Arezzo?
+
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 Arezzo?
+
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.
