# Francy's Pasta & Gnocchi on Top of Florence Hills

**Guidekin's take:** Fresh pasta and gnocchi made in a private villa on the hills above Florence, with the city view from the workshop and a host who learned the craft in her grandmother's pasta shop. Everything you make becomes the meal, with wine, water and coffee included; transport up to the villa is not. Rated 4.95 by 515 travellers at €125 per person.

In our comparison: #9 of 15 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

I'm Francesca, passionate about cooking and gastronomy. I learned the art of fresh pasta from my grandmother in her pasta shop, where we started to host this experience. Then I moved it at my house, a true pasta workshop in a beautiful villa on top of the hills, with a stunning view of Florence. I founded “Francyspasta” in 2017, that won several Airbnb Experiences awards, and changed completely my life in better.Time after time I created a group of passionate hosts like me, and now we are a crew of pasta makers, Gaia, Luisa, Tommaso, all very special people who will make our time together unique, in the magical atmosphere of our workshop-house, full of love, light and art in the heart of our splendid Tuscany.
