My husband and I enjoyed a week at La Chiusa Villa in Montefollonico with Cook in Tuscany. From the minute we arrived we were amazed at the beauty of Tuscany! Our accommodations were beautiful, the views absolutely stunning - everywhere we looked it was like a picture from a magazine! George and Linda are the perfect hosts. They both are so knowledge, friendly and funny too! We always felt like they were happy we were there. Our group was awesome-we met so many lovely people from all over the world! It was really sad to say goodbye at the end of the week. And every event was perfectly planned with every detail taken care of by Linda & George. This experience was one of our best ever and we hope to one day visit them at one of their other schools! Memories to last a lifetime!!
What a wonderfully, glorious time we had in Montefollonico--George, Linda and Whitney were such fun and gracious hosts!! The cooking school was unbelievable, the resort was beautiful, the food was second to none, the excursions were spot on...and the friendships we have created--unforgettable! If you have the chance to enjoy a culinary vacation, Cook in Tuscany is the one!! Cheers!
I can’t say enough about the wonderful time we had at Cook in Tuscany. Linda, George and Whitney are wonderful hosts, the tours and cooking classes were perfect and more than we anticipated, and Tuscany is one breathtaking view after another. This experience should definitely be on everyone’s bucket list.
This is for the class offered at Relaise La Chiusa. After receiving our aprons and cooking pamphlets we were patiently guided by Nonna Antonetta. She took us step by step through the preparation of soup, sauce (gravy), pasta, filling for our raviolis and the cookies that would accompany our post meal wine or coffee. We not only learned, we made new friends and an insight into what Tuscan food is really like. Antonetta advised us on how to finish each dish and we had a delightful evening dining with our new friends on delicious food we'd been lucky enough to have helped prepare. This is the best cooking class I've ever participated in anywhere - and I'm a tough reviewer. I'd give more stars if Google allowed.
Six years ago I attended Cook in Tuscany with girlfriends. For six years I have talked about the experience so positively that my husband decided he would like to attend cooking school this year. Our experience in May was even better than the first trip. The Meyers have developed an excellent program— fun, informative, interesting and suitable for all levels of cooking expertise. The tours and activities were outstanding—truffle hunting, cheese making, and exploring surrounding villages. One of the best parts of the experience was the friendships that developed over the week and , of course, there was the laughter, lots of that too. I’d like to give the experience 6 stars!
Three times and still want more!
Our first time at Cook in Tuscany was May of 2016. What a delight! Cooking in a different restaurant kitchen each day, dinner at a different restaurant, tours in a different Village, what a perfect way to experience Italy. We went back in September 2018 with a group of 9. This year we went the first week in June. Oh my what a great time we had.
This was our first time at the new Inn, LaChiusa. George, Linda and Whitney have left no detail unturned. What a fabulous stay. The bed's were comfortable, linens and towels comfortable and plush. The pool, although a little chilly was a welcome addition. A stroll through the lush gardens and Olive groves is a must. The restaurant was fantastic, with food not only tasty but beautiful. A real culinary treat!
The cooking class and tours were amazing as always! We took time out to ATV through the Tuscan Countryside, Horseback ride through the vineyards and step back in time with a walk through beautiful walled gardens. We started everyday with a fabulous cooking class and ended every evening with a dinner to delight the palate.
This three timer is already planning trip number 4!
We didn't really know what to expect during our time in Tuscany other than what we had seen online. All of our hopes and expectations were exceeded in every way but what we didn't count on was the sheer beauty and incredible sense of calm and relaxation that came over us each time we looked out over the valley. Linda and George were incredible hosts, knowing instinctively how to blend the classes, the touring and the periodic breaks in the day so that we never felt rushed nor hurried, but were also never bored. George is also a wonderful tease, making each of his guests feel like a long lost dear friend and it's clear from his interactions with his neighbors that he and Linda are valued members of the Tuscan culture. We learned sooo much about food and wine and history and came away with a sense that these folks have truly figured out what's important in life. I find myself wishing we were back there and trying to figure out how best to return. This was far more than a vacation; this was truly an experience of a lifetime and one we will treasure always.
I don't even know where to begin to tell you how wonderful our week at "Cook in Tuscany" was. Five stars just doesn't give it justice!!! It was like living in a dream. It was so far beyond what we expected. The experiences were so unique from hunting for truffles to our wine pairing dinners. Who ever thought that we could drink so much wine and have so much fun! Linda and George were truly amazing, We feel as if they are now some of our very best friends. We came home and have immediately begun making pasta and all of the other wonderful foods that we made. We are going to make cooking, eating and playing a part of our everyday life. Every time we think of the week we have the biggest smiles on our faces. We also made some wonderful new friends from all over the world. We will definitley be back. So until next time, cheers, Sharon
