"What everyone calls a "cooking class" I call a "Culinary Experience". Cooking is a 5 sensesexperience, a blend between follow the rules and break them, tradition and innovation, a moment for freedom and creativity! Definitely we can't call it a "class". Culinary experiences can be booked at the Villa or at Gloria's Villa which is a 5 minute walk away.
Gloria offers a wide variety of experiences and can cater to most diets like vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, pescatarian and much more. Whether you are looking to plan a special romantic dinner, lunch, family event or other private event or experience, you can trust that Gloria will create a truly unforgettable memory and the most divine food.
Would you like to host your special event in the heart of Tuscany? My family villa offers the perfect blend of intimacy, authenticity, and warmth. Whether it’s an anniversary, a family dinner, a birthday celebration, a hen party, a wedding proposal, or simply a charming gathering in a secluded setting, I would be delighted to craft an unforgettable experience tailored to your desires.
Our scenic patio, with breathtaking views of Florence and the rolling Tuscan hills, is available throughout the year. We accommodate groups ranging from 2 to 24 guests. Share your vision with me, and let's create something truly memorable together.
Ciao,
I'm Gloria an Italian, Tuscan & Florentine woman born in Fiesole, the ancient Etruscan and Roman village on a hilltop overlooking Florence.
I'm a food lover, a passionate cook and pioneer of culinary experiences.
I grew up in a family with extravagant culinary inclinations: Sicily and Africa on the one hand, Lombardy, Tuscany and Lazio on the other: isn't it a cool blend?
Since I was three, the kitchen has always been an accessible place to experiment, have fun, relax. My passion has deep roots, made of recipes from grandmothers and grandfathers, seasoned with the wise and innovative suggestions of my parents.
Food has always played a special role in my life and my greatest passion now as then is sharing ancient local recipes, tales, legends, family tales and culinary secrets with curious people like you from all around the world....
My home is the theater of the culinary experience: each object will tell you something about me and my family! To complete the picture, a panoramic kitchen, a patio available in each season and a scenic view of Florence and the surrounding hills.
In all experiences we will get our hands dirty, laugh together and spend an authentic and genuine time, especially unique because every time is like the first time for me!
I'm also an animal lover and in my home live 2 dogs, a mixed Vietnamese pig - boar and a cat. Everyday I cook for them home made food!
Discover with me the secretes of my place and all my culinary experiences.
