Tuscany cooking class and villa??
Any ideas on a fun cooking class and/or nice place to stay in Tuscany? Interested in staying in a villa (renting a room, not an entire villa) in the countryside that is centrally located for exploring some wineries. Also interested in finding a fun local cooking class to take. Any thoughts? Thanks.

HI, WE WENT TO THE MOST AMAZING COOKING SCHOOL IN TUSCANY LAST YEAR. IT IS INCREDIBLE, AND THE ACCOMODATIONS ARE 4 STAR. CONTACT JOHN AT <BR>[email protected] FOR INFO. THE 4 DAY SCHOOL (4 HOURS A DAY)INCLUDES EVERYTHING, AND IS QUITE REASONABLE. JUST 1/2 HOUR FROM SIENA. LOTS OF INCREDIBLE TOWNS WITHIN 15-30 MINUTES. <BR>TELL HIM STEVE GROSSMAN SENT YOU. <BR>THIS IS A MUST, FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST OF THE MAJORITY OF COURSES.

I did alot of research about cooking schools in Tuscany. We spend the most wonderful day with Carlo in a little village town in Tuscany, Arcidosso. Contact them at TuscanWay. com. The food was delicious and the day was truely memorable. Contact me for more info if you need.

Well, I guess I am the only one who does NOT want you to contact me personally, wonder why. Don't know about the villas, but small Tuscany cooking classes a friend of mine took and said were great, and pretty cheap, were by a company called Tutti A Tavola, it is near Siena. They have a web site at http://www.ware.it/Agritour/Itinerar...ola/index.html The people who run it also rent rooms out as sort of a B&B, I think. Shawguides is very good, also, as someone recommended. A good Canadian agency called Teachers travel (anyone can use them, I think) has very reasonable cooking "tours" in France and Italy (www.teachers.travel.com -- go to the Taste of Europe section.
