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.

这堂课是我们这次旅行的亮点！除了美味的食物，工作人员也棒极了，他们乐于助人、风趣幽默，而且非常有耐心。

我们玩得非常开心，强烈推荐给有孩子的家庭。

每个人都非常友善，主厨弗朗西斯科花时间向每个人演示步骤，并乐于分享他的技巧和诀窍。

烹饪课本身非常棒。厨师技艺精湛，风趣幽默，让整个过程既有教育意义又充满乐趣。

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.

我们全家，包括两个十几岁的孩子，都非常享受这段时光。我们一起准备了一顿四道菜的晚餐。

采摘完松露后，您可以前往他们的农场直供餐厅，跟随认证厨师学习如何制作意大利面和酱汁。

我们和奶奶一起做饭，真是太有趣了！我们学到了很多东西，而且上课的环境也很漂亮。

我们准备了一顿完整的四道菜大餐，包括新鲜制作的意面。每道菜都选用简单新鲜的食材烹制而成。

我们一家三口报名参加了这门烹饪课，学习了制作自制意大利面、意式烤面包和美味的乳清干酪藏红花蜂蜜甜点的秘诀。

多么愉快的时光，多么别致的体验——就在主人家里做饭！

我和我丈夫与 Nonna Cia 度过了最美好的时光——这真是我们蜜月旅行的一大亮点。

我们和团队度过了非常美好的时光。强烈推荐大家体验一下。

非常棒的烹饪体验。主人热情好客，绝对值得一去，当然，你还能品尝到自己亲手做的美食！

这是一顿我们亲手准备的四道菜美味佳肴，还配了葡萄酒。没错，我们自己准备、擀面、切面皮！

我和父母在Nonna餐厅度过了非常美好的时光！餐厅的氛围、食物以及Nonna和她团队的友善都让我们印象深刻。

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!

景色迷人，房东热情好客，早餐新鲜美味，公寓非常干净整洁，睡眠舒适。

房间里提供的早餐非常精致，让我的住宿体验倍感温馨。

在我们逗留期间，我们还有机会参加了松露狩猎和烹饪课程：这两项活动都引人入胜、充满乐趣，并且组织得非常完美。

我们一家人体验了一次精彩的上午松露狩猎之旅，随后还参加了一个用冬季黑松露烹饪的课程。

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.

这次我们预订了一次森林松露狩猎之旅，非常有趣，而且对于美食爱好者来说也很有收获。

这是一堂非常温馨有趣的课程，授课地点设在一家仍在运营的民宿、餐厅和农场的厨房里。

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!

美丽的乡村景色。舒适的房间，空间宽敞。氛围友好宁静。餐厅提供美味的美式早餐👍

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!

Nonna的烹饪课是我们这次旅行的亮点！Nonna Cianna和她的翻译Heather都非常棒。

很棒的地方！房东非常热情，我们招待他们也很开心，房间宽敞舒适，非常干净。

位置绝佳，风景优美，房间公寓舒适、安静、干净，床也很舒服。餐厅非常好，服务周到。

早餐丰盛美味。员工非常友好，退房时我们还有幸见到了老板。

托斯卡纳烹饪课一直是我的人生愿望清单之一，而这次的课程没有让我失望。

体验太棒了，我们玩得非常开心，强烈推荐！每个人都非常友善和专业，食物也很美味。

我们的烹饪课既有趣又收获满满。我们亲自动手实践，准备了一顿传统的意大利多道菜大餐。

与一位出色的厨师共度了一次非常特别的时光，之后我们享用了一顿美味的晚餐。

在托斯卡纳之旅中，烹饪课是我们最喜欢的活动之一。

我和我丈夫玩得非常开心！我们学到了一些新的烹饪技巧，其中制作皮奇意面是一大亮点。

太好玩了！驻店主厨翁贝托既幽默又有耐心！

我们七个人在他们的烹饪课上玩得非常开心！我们都强烈推荐！

这是一堂超级有趣又收获满满的课。我们学会了做意大利面，还一起做了一顿美味的晚餐。

这次烹饪体验太棒了！厨师知识渊博、热情友好、风趣幽默又很有耐心。

沉浸于这地道的意大利风情之中。锡耶纳附近的托斯卡纳乡村景色优美，是绝佳的背景。

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.
