From the moment you enter the large iron gates, passing through the pathway of pine trees, you feel you have just arrived to visit your lost Italian relative. Dogs are playing, bikes are parked on the side, and the Gardner is picking fresh organic cherries from the tree.
Villa Lucia is a private estate, situated in a typical Tuscan village near Lucca. It used to be a hunting lodge and was beautifully restored. The large rooms have original terracotta floors, Italian bath and BVLGRI products. As part of the cooking school experience, the staff will take you to visit, the weekly market in the town of Pistoia, interesting cultural excursions, and unique food shops and wineries. In the evening we were sitting outside eating a candle-lighted dinner, which made it magical.
Watching a cooking show on TV is more interesting then reading instructions from a cook book but imagine you cooking with a chef, hand in hand, asking questions and getting tips for life. Add to that wine and laughter and you have lifetime memories.
