Enjoy a week in Italy combining hands-on cooking with Chef Stefano and private guided tours through Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria and the Montefeltro region. Each day includes cooking instruction, market visits, local food tastings, wine experiences, and time to explore charming villages and historic sites — without having to plan anything yourself.
You’ll learn authentic regional dishes in a historic Italian home, then visit local producers, artisans, wineries, and medieval towns to fully experience the culture behind the food.
This is Italy with a private chef: immersive, personal, and unforgettable.
Every day includes hands-on Italian cooking plus private guided outings to nearby towns, markets, wineries or historic sites. You’ll explore small villages, taste regional specialties, shop with Chef Stefano for ingredients, and with ample time between activities to enjoy peaceful time at a private home Mt. Fumaiolo.
A sample day-by-day itinerary will be customized for your group and finalized based on seasonality.
I learned a tremendous amount about traditional Italian cooking and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
During your stay, you’ll have exclusive access to Chef Stefano’s 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom historic stone house — completely private for you and your group. This 19th-century retreat features charming antiques, two fireplaces, a traditional stone oven, and a peaceful garden along the early waters of the Tevere (Tiber) River. It’s quiet, authentic, and the perfect place to unwind after a day of cooking and exploring.
This all-inclusive retreat is available year-round, based on availability. Pricing is listed per person, and includes everything during your stay — accommodations, meals,wine, transportation, cooking classes, and ingredient shopping with Chef Stefano.
Non private: 1-6 persons
Private: Minimum 2 persons
Learning all these cooking skills was worth the price alone, but I have to add that Stefano was also just a great guy to hang with.
You can turn your week on Mt. Fumaiolo into a 4 Days longer Culinary Vacation by adding destinations like Florence, Bologna, Venice, Orvieto, Rome, Val d’Orcia (Montalcino, Pienza and Siena) and the Amalfi Coast — all with private transportation and guided touring arranged for you.
