Join a Local for an Authentic Florentine Feast in a Stunning Florentine Estate

Costanza is a warm and wonderful Italian host who makes you feel like family the moment you meet her. She owns a stunning estate right outside Florence that has been in her family since 1839. Costanza works with her family to maintain a gorgeous farm and two villas, one of which is converted into a bed and breakfast. Your experience will take place in her grandparent’s villa, a beautiful home filled with antiques from the 16th century. Unlike many villas in Italy, this villa has been in the same family for several centuries and has a magical charm to it.

Cooking has been Costanza’s biggest passion ever since she was a child watching her parents cook wonderful meals for their family and friends. Her family would host large food gatherings and she often relates being with her parents to cooking for other people. Her love for cooking grew because her grandmothers were amazing cooks and she always loved to eat! She enjoys meeting new people to pass on a little bit of her history and to learn from them about their history and traditions – she says that hosting travelers has special meaning to her because it makes her feel like she is traveling the world! On days that Costanza is busy, her equally wonderful sister Serena will be your host.

Please note that because Costanza sometimes has guests staying in their B&B they may be present during your meal but your cooking experience will remain private.
