You will spend either 4 or 7 days based in the village of Roccatederighi in Tuscany, staying in poolside apartments. We will give those on each course intimate cooking lessons, tours of different artisanal and sustainable food producers, and private dinners cooked by our chef. Please see the itinerary for more info.
Prices vary according to the length of the course and the accomodation options, please take a look at the Shop section of the website for pricing information. For two friends, partners or family members sharing an apartment, prices per person are currently £825 for a 4 day, and £1500 for a 7 day course.
Apartment accomodation (see accommodation section); cooking lessons from your private cooking instructor Oli and from other experts as part of external trips; tours, trips and activities (see example itinerary); all transport during the week in our van; breakfast supplies for your private kitchen; all meals apart from one dinner on the 7 day trip (as part of an allotted free evening); wine and selected aperitivos; transfers between accommodation and Grosseto (our nearest city) train station on arrival and departure days.
Shared apartments are available for those travelling together who wish to share, otherwise private apartments are provided. Prices per person do drop for those who wish to share an apartment with a friend, partner, family member etc. Both types of apartment are in the same building in the same poolside complex. For more info go to the accomodation section.
On check in and check out days, we provide transport between the nearest major train station, Grosseto, and the apartments. We will pick you up from/drop you off at Grosseto on check in/check out days. At times we have to group guests together into collective pick up times - we generally do two separate pick ups on check in day.
Fast trains get you from Pisa Central to Grosseto in 75 mins, and around 100 minutes from Rome's main city station. If you want to drive to us, we can recommend car hire companies and provide detailed directions. We do not provide private transfers from airports, but we are happy to assist you arranging them. Go to http://www.trenitalia.com/ for train schedules.
