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.

這堂課是我們這次旅行的亮點！除了美味的食物，工作人員也棒極了，他們樂於助人、風趣幽默，而且非常有耐心。

我們玩得非常開心，強烈推薦給有孩子的家庭。

每個人都非常友善，主廚弗朗西斯科花時間向每個人示範步驟，並樂於分享他的技巧和訣竅。

烹飪課本身非常棒。廚師技藝精湛，風趣幽默，讓整個過程既有教育意義又充滿樂趣。

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.

我們全家，包括兩個十幾歲的孩子，都非常享受這段時光。我們一起準備了一頓四道菜的晚餐。

採摘完松露後，您可以前往他們的農場直供餐廳，跟隨認證廚師學習如何製作義大利麵和醬汁。

我們和奶奶一起做飯，真是太有趣了！我們學到了很多東西，而且上課的環境也很漂亮。

我們準備了一頓完整的四道菜大餐，包括新鮮製作的意麵。每道菜都選用簡單新鮮的食材烹調而成。

我們一家三口報名參加了這個烹飪課程，學習了製作自製意大利麵、意式烤麵包和美味的乳清乾酪藏紅花蜂蜜甜點的秘訣。

多麼愉快的時光，多麼別緻的體驗——就在主人家裡做飯！

我和我丈夫與 Nonna Cia 度過了最美好的時光——這真是我們蜜月旅行的一大亮點。

我們和團隊度過了非常美好的時光。強烈推薦大家體驗一下。

非常棒的烹飪體驗。主人熱情好客，絕對值得一去，當然，你還能品嚐到自己親手做的美食！

這是我們親手準備的四道菜美味佳餚，還配上了葡萄酒。沒錯，我們自己準備、擀麵、切面皮！

我和父母在Nonna餐廳度過了非常美好的時光！餐廳的氛圍、食物以及Nonna和她團隊的友善都讓我們印象深刻。

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，房東熱情好客，早餐新鮮美味，公寓非常乾淨整潔，睡眠舒適。

房間提供的早餐非常精緻，讓我的住宿體驗倍感溫馨。

在我們逗留期間，我們還有機會參加了松露狩獵和烹飪課程：這兩項活動都引人入勝、充滿樂趣，並且組織得非常完美。

我們一家人體驗了一次精彩的上午松露狩獵之旅，隨後還參加了一個用冬季黑松露烹飪的課程。

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.

這次我們預訂了一次森林松露狩獵之旅，非常有趣，而且對於美食愛好者來說也很有收穫。

這是一堂非常溫馨有趣的課程，授課地點設在一家仍在運作的民宿、餐廳和農場的廚房裡。

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!

美麗的鄉村景色。舒適的房間，空間寬敞。氛圍友善寧靜。餐廳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的烹飪課是我們這次旅行的亮點！ Nonna Cianna和她的翻譯Heather都非常棒。

很棒的地方！房東非常熱情，我們招待他們也很開心，房間寬敞舒適，非常乾淨。

地點絕佳，風景優美，房間公寓舒適、安靜、乾淨，床也很舒服。餐廳非常好，服務周到。

早餐豐盛美味。員工非常友好，退房時我們還有幸見到了老闆。

托斯卡納烹飪課程一直是我的人生願望清單之一，而這次的課程並沒有讓我失望。

體驗太棒了，我們玩得非常開心，強烈推薦！每個人都非常友善和專業，食物也很美味。

我們的烹飪課既有趣又收穫滿滿。我們親自動手實踐，準備了一頓傳統的義大利多道菜大餐。

與一位出色的廚師共度了一次非常特別的時光，之後我們享用了一頓美味的晚餐。

在托斯卡納之旅中，烹飪課是我們最喜歡的活動之一。

我和我丈夫玩得非常開心！我們學到了一些新的烹飪技巧，其中製作皮奇意麵是一大亮點。

太好玩了！駐店主廚翁貝托又風趣又有耐心！

我們七個人在他們的烹飪課上玩得非常開心！我們都強烈推薦！

這是一堂超級有趣又收穫滿滿的課。我們學會了做義大利麵，還一起做了一頓美味的晚餐。

這次烹飪體驗太棒了！廚師知識淵博、熱情友善、風趣幽默又很有耐心。

沉浸於此道地的意大利風情之中。錫耶納附近的托斯卡納鄉村景色優美，是絕佳的背景。

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.
