The Real Tuscany

This is a genuine, unhurried 4 days of Italian living, cooking in a real restaurant kitchen and wood-fired brick oven. wandering the cobbled lanes of a medieval village, and sitting down to long lunches poured generously with the local wine.

This is a small, intimate group. No rigid schedules, no rushing. Rita adapts the 4 days to her guests, and the atmosphere throughout is warm, convivial, and entirely relaxed.
