Description
This Special Program is thought for who likes to discover an authentic wedge of Tuscany far from the very tourist destinations.
The trip to Giglio island usually lasts from Monday through Wednesday. The Farm House is located in the southern coast of the Island, in the Natural Park of the Tuscan Archipelago. The place can be reached exclusively by boat or through a path in the Mediterranean woods once run by peasants and donkeys. The Farm House is nowadays a modern hotel and welcomes the guests warmly, offering foods coming from their organic cultivations and farming. During the staying, the guests will be involved in farm activities: depending the season they can be making cheese, taking care of goats and donkeys, picking vegetables.
The cooking classes in Florence take place at the return from the island. During the lessons in Florence, students will cook together, will taste the meal sitting around a table and will discuss about the experience.
The total experience takes place usually Monday through Friday.
