Cooking Holidays  in Italy

Hotels and locations

Our painting holidays and vacations are situated in three locations...

Hotel La Riserva Montebello  |  Podere Casabella

Villa San Donnino (3 star)

Near Citta di Castello, Umbria, Villa San Donnino is in the north of Umbria, and is set in beautiful countryside near the walled medieval town of Citta di Castello. It is within an hour's drive of Arezzo, Perugia and Assisi, and close to Sansepolcro and Monterchi. Umbria itself still echoes the Middle Ages, and boasts a landscape of mediaeval hilltop villages, castles and monasteries. Unlike its neighbours Tuscany and Lazio, and despite its scenic beauty and cultural and artistic treasures, Umbria is a region largely untouched by large-scale tourism.

We also run our cooking holidays and vacations from here.

Podere Casabella

Fattoria Lavacchio is a family owned typical Tuscan farm of 110 hectares located on the top of the Montefiesole hill at 450 above sea level just 12 miles from Florence. The farm, built in 1700 by the noble Florentine Peruzzi family was purchased in 1840 by the Marchesi Strozzi Sacrati and then again in 1978 by the present owners.
