Italian Cookery Holiday - Tuscany

 

Introduction

 

Lucca, ideal for Tuscan cooking holidays, is charming - enclosed by it's own walls which have now been turned into an elegant 12 m high garden, perfect for a passeggiata.  Almost completely closed off to traffic, the city centre has a cosmopolitan air, the cobbled streets are ideal to stroll around and window shop, you just need to watch out for the locals (Lucchese) on their bicycles (usually with a mobile phone to their ear!).

 

Lucca is surrounded by the Apuan Alps, dramatic backdrop of rolling countryside, vineyards, rivers and charming towns such as the spa town Bagni di Lucca, as well as must see towns of Barga and Garfagnana.

 

The Venue

The Forci Estate is the perfect location for our Tuscany cookery holidays lying amid vineyards and olive groves, steeped in strong culinary traditions of wine and olive production.

 

We have exclusive use of the private Villa Segelato tucked away on the estate high in the hills above Lucca. Guests will be able to sit on the terrace and enjoy views across the charming valley, dotted with ancient bell towers, olive groves and "modern" 18th century villas.

 

Our guests will stay in Villa Segelato is a classic Tuscan villa with terracotta tiles, wooden beams, a large kitchen, impressive formal lounge and six en-suite bedrooms. Outside the terrace has spectacular views down the valley and the swimming pool is perfect for an early morning swim.
