Prestigious villas in Tuscany
Tuscany is one of the best Italian regions in which to enjoy a holiday dedicated to beauty and well-being, as well as history and culture.
You easily pass from the city to the countryside, until you reach the sea or climb some hills and each of these landscapes has its own peculiarities that are impossible to miss during a stay here. Art lets itself be enveloped by the scent of excellent cuisine and together, between one glass of Chianti Classico and another, they retrace the history that was.
Tuscany is undoubtedly an obligatory stop for lovers of all-round Italian culture.
There is no precise season to plan a holiday in Tuscany since it can surprise you with something unique and different at any time of the year, but there is certainly a way to experience it in comfort, that is by renting a luxury villa by Raro Villas.
After admiring the wonderful scenery of Tuscany, going through eras and tasting typical products, it will be a real panacea to rest in a villa equipped with all comforts.
Here is our selection:
Cooking class on vacation, the best cooking experiences

Cooking classes in Italy, discovering the culinary traditions of the best destinations. Learn from the locals.
It is said that knowledge of a person and culture comes above all from its cuisine: discovering the flavours, smells and gestures of the locals when cooking allows any tourist to come into contact with the beating heart of civilisation, appreciating its customs and becoming, in fact, an integral part of it.
It is no coincidence, in fact, that in this period, numerous cooking classes have been developed regarding typical dishes and culinary secrets handed down from generation to generation.
At Raro Villas, however, we are well aware that the location is an integral part of the experience and contributes, on a large scale, to making our guests live unique and magical moments. Precisely for this reason, we thought that to experience our grandmothers' cuisine at its best, there could be no better place than the ancient masserie, casolari or the splendid villas.
Imagine yourself in one of these locations. A local expert or family will show you the art of kneading pasta or handling local raw materials, making them unique and enhancing their taste. You will learn how to make arancini, handmade pasta and many other dishes for which our land is much loved.
While having fun, you will discover which traditions are linked to the culinary universe and how our mothers and grandmothers built rituals and stories that still stay with us at our table to this day.
