I’m a Tuscan born based in Val d’Orcia. I love simple, authentic, tasty food. I’ve been cooking for more than 20 years and I’ve managed one of the more populat restaurant of the area till 2022. Now I’ve decided to provide professional and confidential service in total Home comfort. You will have the opportunity to observe every step of the cooking preparations, to ask questions about the ingredients and the territory. I will take care of everything. I will shop from trusted local producers and I’ll also be delighted to suggest the best wine pairings, which can be purchased from wineries around Montepulciano and Montalcino. I will be happy to share my experience with you and give you advice and information about this area of Tuscany and about the activities and places to visit during your holiday.
