We had a great time during our cooking class with Barbara who’s a great instructor and fun person. We learnt some really useful skills that we’ll make use of in our future cooking as well. The class was easy to follow while still offering some new insights for those who already know their way around the kitchen. We can warmly recommend it for other couples who like down-to-earth activities in the countryside. However, we do recommend having a car or hiring a taxi to get there as public transport wasn’t an easy option. Grazie di tutto, alla prossima!

This past August, the Sant’Ulivieri Cooking Class with Chef Barbara was an absolutely amazing experience! My wife and I had an incredible time that we will never forget. Between the ambience, the company, and the amazing food we all got to make and enjoy together is something we’ll cherish as a lifelong memory. Chef Barbara really makes you feel like you’re a family member in her home. We highly recommend it!

My experience at the Cooking Class at Sant’Ulivieri farmhouse was absolutely extraordinary and unforgettable. From the very beginning, I was captivated by the welcoming and familial atmosphere that permeates this charming corner of the Tuscan countryside.
The day kicked off with a picturesque stroll through the farm’s garden, where I had the privilege of personally harvesting the fresh vegetables that would become the main ingredients for our culinary creations. The connection with the land and the flavorful experience of picking vegetables directly from the source set the tone for a truly authentic Tuscan culinary adventure.
Under the guidance of a skilled chef, we delved into the art of crafting delicious bruschettas, showcasing the vibrant flavors of the just-harvested seasonal produce. The magic continued as we explored the world of fresh pasta, with two meticulously prepared variations (tagliatelle and gnocchi), each adorned with the finest seasonal ingredients that encapsulate the distinct tastes of Tuscany.
The finale was a delightful journey into the realm of authentic Tuscan desserts, a sweet conclusion to a day filled with culinary exploration. Each dish was thoughtfully paired with exquisite local wines, elevating the entire dining experience to new heights.
What truly set this Cooking Class apart was the genuine warmth and hospitality of Sant’Ulivieri farmhouse. It felt like being welcomed into a family, creating an atmosphere that made the entire experience not only delicious but also personal and memorable.
If you’re seeking an authentic Tuscan culinary adventure in a setting that feels like home, the Cooking Class at Sant’Ulivieri is an absolute must. I left with a full stomach, a happy heart, and a newfound appreciation for the rich flavors of Tuscany. Highly recommended!

The Sant’Uliveri cooking class was one of the highlights of our whole trip! Barbara and Alessandro were fantastic hosts! We made pasta from scratch, two different types of sauce, bruschetta and a chocolate dessert. The food was amazing, and we learned so much about the ingredients and process of rustic Italian cooking. I see so much more authentic homemade Italian food in my future now! If you are looking for a cooking class experience, I highly recommend Sant’Ulivieri! I promise you will not be disappointed!!
