Treat yourself to something special with a luxury break in Tuscany. Take your partner or your best friends and immerse yourself in country living in Italy.

Our cookery lessons are led by Gianluca Pardini (click here) who specialises in Tuscan dishes - you can learn anything from how to make homemade pasta and bread to delicious local vegetarian recipes.

In partnership with our chef Gianluca Pardini we are offering morning cookery sessions every week, Monday to Friday, all the year round except in July and August.  These take place at the cookery school situated between Vallicorte and Lucca (15 minutes by car) The cost is only 70 euros per person per day, including all your food and delicious local wines.  We also offer the opportunity to attend from one to five classes in the week, so if you are just passing through, why not spend a morning cooking with your friends?   If you have more time to spare, we can also organise wine tasting at the 400 year old fattoria San Martino where we hold our wine-tasting experience. The wine and olives here are grown organically, a wonderful tasting experience!

Vallicorte Bed and Breakfast

Stay with us at Vallicorte while you cook nearby -  or just come to enjoy our beautiful gardens and pool, then drive 15 minutes to medieval Lucca, the jewel of Northern Tuscany with 90 churches, circular walls to bicycle round, great shopping and eating. Or visit the seaside at Viareggio and Forte di Marmi with their long sandy beaches and good fish restaurants.
