Fattoria Le Pietre Vive

From the moment we arrived we felt so welcomed. Alberto the chef and Silvia were great teachers and models. We made 4 courses and they all were so fun and delicious. We enjoyed getting to learn about the owner of the property and restaurant background. The hospitality was too notch and the group of people we cooked with added to the fun and experience. I love that they shared the recipes with us that we cooked so we can try them ourselves back home. I highly recommend this cooking class/experience.

This was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend! Very friendly, warm and passionate instruction. Exceptional food and entertaining, interactive experience. Loved!

The team teaching us was very kind and took time with everyone to go over instructions and techniques. Thank you for the delicious, lovely class!! They even accommodated everyone’s dietary restrictions which I know was difficult.

このクラスは今回の旅行のハイライトでした！美味しい料理はもちろんのこと、スタッフの方々も素晴らしく、親切で楽しく、とても忍耐強く接してくれました。

私たちは素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。お子様連れのご家族におすすめです。

皆とても親切で、フランチェスコシェフは一人ひとりに手順を丁寧に説明し、喜んでコツや秘訣を教えてくれました。

料理教室自体は素晴らしかったです。シェフは才能豊かで、話も面白く、教育的でありながら楽しい体験にしてくれました。

We were very fortunate to be able to participate in Nonna Ciana's Dinner Cooking Class. The location is absolutely gorgeous, not too far from Siena, in the rolling Tuscan hills. We were received by Chiara, who is extremely friendly and delightful, and was the translator for the chef. The course included learning how to cook a 4-course meal. I picked up a few good skills that I will use moving forward. The course ended with a sit down meal of the food we had made - it was delicious and satisfying to know that we had cooked most of it under the guidance of the chef. If was also fun to meet the other people in the course, who were very friendly. Good food, excellent wine, great company and an all round fun experience that I highly recommend.

10代の子供2人を含めた家族全員が、その時間を心から楽しみました。家族みんなで4品のコース料理を作りました。

トリュフを採集した後は、併設のレストランで、認定シェフからパスタやソースの作り方を学びましょう。

ノンナと一緒に料理をすることができて、とても楽しいクラスでした！たくさんのことを学べたし、景色も素晴らしかったです。

自家製パスタを含む、フルコースの4品コース料理をご用意しました。どの料理もシンプルで新鮮な食材を使用しています。

私たち家族3人でこの料理教室を予約し、自家製パスタ、ブルスケッタ、そして美味しいリコッタチーズとサフランハニーのデザートを作る秘訣を学びました。

とても楽しい時間を過ごせましたし、オーナーの家の中で料理をするなんて、とても趣がありました！

夫と私はノンナ・シアと最高の時間を過ごしました。まさに新婚旅行のハイライトでした。

チームの皆さんと素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。この体験は皆さんに強くお勧めします。

とても楽しい料理体験でした。ホストの方々も素晴らしく、参加する価値は十分にあります。もちろん、作った料理も食べられます。

それは私たちが用意した、ワイン付きの美味しい4コース料理でした。そう、パスタ生地は私たちが作って、伸ばして、切ったんです！

両親と私はノンナで本当に素晴らしい時間を過ごしました！雰囲気、料理、そしてノンナと彼女のチームの親切さ、どれも最高でした。

The setting was a beautiful farmhouse in the Tuscan countryside! It was great learning new Italian cooking techniques from someone who has lived in Italy for most of her life. However, based on the website and advertisement, we were expecting an Italian nonna. Aside from that, it was a beautiful and very enjoyable experience!

素晴らしい景色、最高のホスト、作りたてのとても美味しい朝食、清潔で手入れの行き届いたアパート、快適な睡眠。

部屋で出された朝食は絶品で、滞在を本当に心温まるものにしてくれました。

滞在中、トリュフ狩りと料理教室に参加する機会にも恵まれました。どちらも魅力的で楽しく、完璧に企画されたアクティビティでした。

私たち家族は、午前中に素晴らしいトリュフ狩りを体験し、その後、冬に採れた黒トリュフを使った料理教室に参加しました。

Instructor was very thorough in guiding us through the preparation of the meal, patient with our questions and provided “the story behind “ the dishes we were preparing.

今回は森でのトリュフ狩りを予約したのですが、とても楽しく、食通にとっては非常に勉強になる体験でした。

これはとてもアットホームで楽しいクラスで、実際に営業している民宿、レストラン、農場のキッチンで行われました。

From the minute, we walked in everyone was so friendly. The cook was exuberant and informative, the translator, very kind and informative, and had a sense of humor. The finished meal was everything one could expect from a Tuscany meal. Would highly recommend.

Chef Francesco was awesome … professional, kind and patient! Would have enjoyed a more balanced menu. Your advertising suggested a full course meal with anti pasta, meat selection etc but at our lesson we made two pasta dinners and a dessert. Would’ve enjoyed an appetizer and veggies and a neat dish. Really appreciated Joelle and him providing a transfer to and from the class! We will definitely recommend your class to our family and friends! Thanks again!

美しい田園風景。広々とした快適な客室。フレンドリーな雰囲気と静かな環境。素晴らしいレストラン。アメリカンブレックファースト👍

The location is beautifully set within the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside. We had a warm welcome and started the class right away with a delicious mix of different recipes for a whole menu. We learned some techniques and tricks and a lot of knowledge about the Tuscan food and the very special location it is cooked in. We totally recommend this class over and over again!

We attended a class in July 2025 and had a great experience! My family of five (three kids, aged 17, 15 and 13) enjoyed learning about how Italian pastas are made. The chef/instructor was engaging, and the surrounding countryside is so beautiful. My kids especially loved the hands-on experience of stretching the pasta and are already talking about when we can do it at home! I especially appreciated the emphasis on simple, well-sourced seasonal ingredients, both because it seems that is what Italians do best, and also because it taught the kids that a recipe doesn't need to have a million ingredients to be nutritious and delicious. This was easily a highlight of our ten day trip in Italy. Would highly recommend!

ノンナの料理教室は今回の旅行のハイライトでした！ノンナ・チアンナと通訳のヘザーは本当に素晴らしかったです。

素敵な場所でした！ホストの方々も素晴らしく、私たちもホストとしてとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。部屋も広くて快適でした。とても清潔でした。

ロケーションは素晴らしく、景色も良く、部屋のアパートメントは快適で静かで清潔で、ベッドも快適でした。レストランもとても美味しく、サービスも良かったです。

朝食は素晴らしく、量もたっぷりでした。スタッフはとてもフレンドリーで、チェックアウトの際にはオーナーにもお会いすることができました。

トスカーナ料理教室は私のやりたいことリストに入っていたのですが、今回の教室は期待を裏切りませんでした。

素晴らしい体験でした！とても楽しかったので、ぜひお勧めします！スタッフは皆親切でプロフェッショナルで、料理も美味しかったです。

私たちの料理教室はとても楽しくてためになりました。伝統的なイタリア料理のコース料理を実際に作ってみることができました。

素晴らしいシェフとの特別な体験の後、美味しい夕食を皆で楽しみました。

料理教室は、トスカーナ旅行中の私たちのお気に入りのイベントの一つでした。

夫と私はとても楽しい時間を過ごしました！新しい料理のテクニックをいくつか学びましたが、中でもピチパスタ作りは最高でした。

とても楽しかった！常駐シェフのウンベルトは面白くて、とても忍耐強い人だった！

私たち7人は、彼らの料理教室で最高の時間を過ごしました！全員、強くお勧めします。

とても楽しくてためになる授業でした。パスタの作り方を学び、美味しい料理を作りました。

この料理体験は最高でした。シェフは知識豊富で、親しみやすく、楽しく、そして忍耐強い方でした。

本場イタリアの雰囲気に浸ってみませんか。シエナ近郊のトスカーナ地方の美しい田園風景が、その魅力を一層引き立てます。

This class was great!!!! Would definitely do it again.

The class was fun, informative and a highlight of our trip to Italy.

We loved our cooking class with Nonna Chiana. She doesn't speak hardly any English to Giulia was there to translate and both Giulia and Nonna Chiana were great! I learned a lot of things that I didn't know that I can take with me into other cooking as well! And the food we had was delightful. We got lucky with a fun group of Canadians and another American couple and had a blast! I want to do it again! <3

We had a wonderful experience, learned a lot and enjoyed a very delicious meal with wine at the end. I also appreciated how accommodating they were with my partner who was recovering from an illness. Overall a wonderful experience, highly recommended.

We just loved it! The staff was welcoming and inviting. Step by step instructions were given. The food was amazing. I'd do it again!!

First, recipes are ones you can cook at home. Two, simple, great directions. Three, such nice people. Four, beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience at Le Pietre Vive. Due to an inclement weather forecast, we made a last minute change and found this cooking class experience. We are so glad we did. Nona and her amazing team provided a 5 Star experience for our whole family. We learned a ton, almost all of the ingredients came directly from their estate, we prepared everything in their family kitchen, and it was delicious! They also have such a great story on why and how they got into the business, which made it even more special. If you are looking for a great group experience, with great people, food, information, and fun, I highly recommend booking a class with this fantastic group of people.

Our family of 7 (3 generations) had the best day learning how to cook. Being welcomed into their farmhouse and having a meal together was incredible. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this excursion- one of my favorite memories of the trip.

The italian cookingclass was gifted to me by my boyfriend for my birthday. I always wanted to learn how to make fresh pasta and Alberto and joya made the experience unforgetable. We will defenitly make the recipes again. If u are looking for an authentic experience u can stop looking and book your cookingclass here.

Beautiful setting. Lovely people. Good teaching (including teaching our kids!) and great food. Highly recommend!

A wonderful experience! The class taught by the excellent and friendly Chef Francesco was great! In addition to showing the techniques, it was a very pleasant conversation about Italian culture and flavors. I highly recommend this typical Tuscan experience.

Nona, the expert cook/pasta maker, was so interesting and knowledgeable. We learned a ton from her and the whole place had so much history and beauty! Plus the food we made was amazing!

Our Airbnb host recommended Le Pietre Vive for cooking lessons. Our lesson was with Francesca who was excellent. With the end of the season, it was just my wife and I, and she was excellent working with both our skill levels (my wife well beyond me), was personable and a great teacher. Excellent food and we have since made the dishes upon our return to the US. I would highly recommend this experience and if our meal was anything like what is offered in the restaurant then this would be a must-do. They make their own wine and honey, both of which were excellent. One of the best experiences of our two-week trip through Tuscany. Don't miss it!

So nice with our Italian chef and the English lady who translated, wonderful dishes and so nice to learn to make pasta, mashed potato which are so tasteful, and all the other dishes. and to work with special ingredients like truffles they found that morning and their own saffron honey made it extra special.

A wonderful experience. Chef, Heather, and Francesca made the experience enjoyable. I can’t wait to try the recipes at home.

From the wonderful Host Nicolas and his staff to the spacious apartment we stayed in and also the tasty Breakfast.

We took a cooking class from Nona and it was absolutely fabulous. The atmosphere was impressive and the instructions were excellent. Being able to share this experience with others was truly exceptional. We strongly recommend this class

We spent one night at the farmhouse and did the cooking class with Nona and loved it!

The cooking class with Nonna Ciana was equal parts food, learning and love.
