The Villa
Villa Maddalena may be the only house of its size and amenity in the center of a village in the heart of theTuscan wine country. With no need of a car you are free to stroll the intimate streets, take an early morning walk to the bakery, or a moon-lit walk to the top of Castello to gaze at the distant lights of Siena. This Villa is a combination of 5 structures dating back to the 11th century.
The Cuisine
Explore foods from the heart of northern Italy, where porchetta and olive oil reign. Learn techniques from ancient Sienna to modern day Florence.
Our personal chefs will cover traditional, home-style Tuscan, and Italian recipes combining the wonderfully intense flavors & freshness of authentic Italian dishes cooked in the privacy of the villa’s gourmet kitchen. Participants cook and eat dishes prepared from fresh, natural ingredients. A complete meal includes: appetizer, pasta dish, vegetable or meat dish, and dessert. Every meal will be paired with a wine selection which best complements the style and flavors of the evening.
The Excursions
The Abbey of Sant’Antimo and Montalcino
According to legend, this Romanesque Abbey was founded by Charlemagne in a magic place where the monks’ chants are still heard today. The tour continues in the land of Brunello di Montalcino with a visit to a winery or to the town of Montalcino for a lovely lunch.
Classic Siena
This itinerary covers the most important sites in the city, from the famous Piazza del Campo, where the Palio horse race takes place twice a year, to the Cathedral with masterpieces by Michelangelo, Donatello, Bernini and Nicola Pisano.
