Toscana Mia




Toscana mia presents to you a memorable and exciting 6 day deluxe cooking experience. The Toscana Mia family started with a father from Apulia, south of Italy, and a mother from Verona , North, relatives all over Italy, years lived in different towns in Italy, what else could we consider ourselves if not Italian. We cannot say we are from north or from south: we are Italians.

After moving from one town to another, our family discovered Tuscany with its artistic towns, hilly countrysides, the wines and white cannellini beans, but especially the people: we fell in love with all of this. We have lived here for more than 30 years, working for almost 20 years in our school of Italian language in Florence we have noticed that many foreigners coming to Italy miss truth contact with the people, with their real Italian lifestyle.

What we would like to offer is the possibility of experiencing authentic Italian .

So Toscana Mia is Tuscany seen with different eyes, the eyes of Italians leading you in this discovery.
