Cookery course:
We offer cookery courses for a minimum of four people. The lesson includes a five course meal: antipasto, primo piatto (home made pasta), secondo (meat or fish or vegetarian meal), contorno (seasonal vegetables) , dolce (home baked caked or tiramisù); all ingredients are fresh and local. The cook will show you how to create the most lovely Italian meals: starting with which herbs to pick from the garden, to how to mix the fresh pasta with your hands until you find the right softness. At the end you will enjoy your dinner with a local red or white whine, maybe with some friends that came over for the occasion. The course can last one day as well as a whole week. the cost is 60 euros per person per lesson. All included.
Painting course:
We offer watercolour courses with a very experienced and charming lady: she is a true artist, and has been painting during her whole life. The painting sessions will take place at the house, in the garden, in the olive grove, in a fascinating corner of the medieval village, in a street of Lucca. Costs per person: 50 euros per day, up to five hours. Minimum required: 4 persons and 5 days. All equipment excluded.
Catering service:
On a special day you can ask for a special dinner: our cook can prepare a lovely meal with any Italian dish you would like the most, wine included, per 25 euros per person. If you would prefer a quick cool dinner with some of the best italian dishes (prosciutto e melone and bruschetta), we can make you happy for 15 euro per person. This service is only possible for a minimum of 4 persons.
The house is self catering but we can stock you up with food by request (especially breakfast can be useful) for your arrival so the next morning you can just relax under the pergola in the garden.
