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.

이번 수업은 여행의 하이라이트였어요! 맛있는 음식 외에도 직원분들이 정말 친절하고, 재밌고, 인내심도 많으셨어요.

정말 즐거운 시간을 보냈고, 아이가 있는 가족들에게 강력 추천합니다.

모두들 정말 친절했고, 프란체스코 셰프님은 시간을 내어 각 사람에게 요리 과정을 보여주고 기꺼이 자신의 팁과 비법을 공유해 주셨습니다.

요리 수업 자체는 정말 훌륭했습니다. 셰프님은 재능 있고, 사람들과 소통도 잘 해주셨으며, 교육적이면서도 재미있는 경험을 선사해 주셨습니다.

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.

두 명의 십대 자녀를 포함한 우리 가족은 모든 순간을 즐겼습니다. 우리는 함께 4코스 요리를 준비했습니다.

트러플을 채취한 후에는 농장에서 직접 재배한 식재료로 만든 음식을 제공하는 레스토랑에 가서 자격증을 소지한 셰프에게 파스타와 소스 만드는 법을 배워보세요.

논나와 함께 요리 수업을 들었는데 정말 재밌었어요! 많은 것을 배웠고, 장소도 너무 아름다웠어요.

갓 만든 파스타를 포함한 4코스 정식을 준비했습니다. 모든 요리는 신선하고 간단한 재료로 만들어졌습니다.

저희 세 가족은 이 요리 수업을 예약하고 수제 파스타, 브루스케타, 그리고 맛있는 리코타 치즈와 사프란 꿀 디저트를 만드는 비법을 배웠습니다.

정말 즐겁고 정겨운 시간이었어요. 주인집 안에서 직접 요리를 하다니!

남편과 저는 논나 시아와 함께 정말 최고의 시간을 보냈습니다. 신혼여행의 진정한 하이라이트였어요.

팀원들과 함께 정말 멋진 시간을 보냈습니다. 모든 분들께 이 경험을 강력 추천합니다.

정말 재밌는 요리 체험이었어요. 호스트분들도 너무 좋으셨고, 꼭 한번 해보시길 추천합니다. 물론 만든 음식도 맛볼 수 있고요.

우리가 직접 준비하고 와인과 함께 곁들여 나온 맛있는 4코스 요리였어요. 네, 파스타 반죽도 직접 만들고, 밀고, 잘랐답니다!

저와 부모님은 논나 덕분에 정말 멋진 경험을 했습니다! 분위기, 음식, 그리고 논나와 그녀의 팀의 친절함까지 모든 것이 훌륭했습니다.

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!

아름다운 전망, 친절한 주인, 갓 만든 맛있는 아침 식사, 매우 깨끗하고 잘 관리된 아파트, 편안한 잠자리.

객실에서 제공된 아침 식사는 정말 훌륭했고, 덕분에 더욱 따뜻하고 행복한 시간을 보낼 수 있었습니다.

머무는 동안 저희는 송로버섯 채집과 요리 수업에도 참여할 기회가 있었는데, 두 활동 모두 흥미롭고 재미있었으며 완벽하게 조직되었습니다.

우리 가족은 멋진 아침 트러플 사냥을 경험했고, 그 후 겨울 검은 트러플을 활용한 요리 수업에도 참여했습니다.

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.

이번에는 숲에서 트러플 찾기를 예약했는데, 정말 재미있었고 음식에 관심 있는 사람들에게는 매우 유익한 경험이었습니다.

이 수업은 실제로 운영 중인 민박, 레스토랑, 농장의 주방에서 열린 매우 친밀하고 즐거운 수업이었습니다.

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!

아름다운 시골 풍경. 넓고 편안한 객실. 친절하고 평화로운 분위기. 훌륭한 미국식 아침 식사를 제공하는 레스토랑 👍

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!

논나의 요리 수업은 우리 여행의 하이라이트였어요! 논나 시안나와 통역사 헤더는 정말 훌륭했습니다.

정말 멋진 곳이에요! 호스트분들이 너무 친절하셔서 저희도 즐겁게 손님을 맞이했어요. 방도 넓고 좋았어요. 아주 깨끗했고요.

위치가 정말 훌륭하고, 경치도 좋고, 객실은 편안하고 조용하고 깨끗하며 침대도 편안했습니다. 레스토랑도 매우 맛있고 서비스도 좋았습니다.

아침 식사는 훌륭하고 푸짐했습니다. 직원들은 매우 친절했고, 체크아웃할 때 사장님을 만날 수 있는 기회도 가졌습니다.

토스카나 요리 수업은 제 버킷리스트에 있었는데, 정말 기대 이상이었어요.

정말 환상적인 경험이었어요! 너무 재밌어서 강력 추천합니다! 직원분들 모두 친절하고 프로다웠고 음식도 맛있었어요.

요리 수업은 정말 재미있고 유익했어요. 직접 실습을 통해 전통적인 이탈리아 코스 요리를 만들어 볼 수 있었거든요.

훌륭한 셰프와 함께한 정말 특별한 경험이었고, 이어서 맛있는 저녁 식사를 함께 나눴습니다.

토스카나 여행 중 가장 좋았던 행사 중 하나는 요리 수업이었습니다.

남편과 저는 정말 즐거운 시간을 보냈어요! 새로운 요리 기술도 몇 가지 배웠는데, 그중에서도 피치 파스타 만들기가 가장 기억에 남네요.

정말 재밌었어요! 상주 셰프 움베르토는 정말 유쾌하고 인내심도 많으셨습니다!

저희 7명 모두 요리 수업에서 정말 즐거운 시간을 보냈어요! 강력 추천합니다.

정말 재미있고 유익한 수업이었어요. 파스타 만드는 법을 배워서 맛있는 요리를 만들었답니다.

이번 요리 체험은 정말 환상적이었어요. 셰프님은 지식도 풍부하시고, 친절하고 재밌고 인내심도 많으셨어요.

시에나 인근 토스카나 시골의 아름다운 풍경을 배경으로 진정한 이탈리아의 경험에 푹 빠져보세요.

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.
