(last checked September 13, 2026) ## Overview This is not your typical day trip—it's a boutique, intimate journey into the heart of Italy set on a peaceful family-owned farmhouse surrounded by olive trees. Led by a local chef, you’ll spend the day immersed in nature, good food, and genuine hospitality. More than a class, it’s a rare opportunity to cook, eat, and connect in a real working farmhouse, far from the tourist trail. From garden to table, you'll prepare traditional Roman dishes with fresh local ingredients and enjoy them over wine and conversation. Visit Villa d’Este, a UNESCO World Heritage site of magical fountains and Renaissance gardens—a perfect spot to soak in beauty and take the best photos of your trip. This is the kind of day that stays with you. ## Key facts - Price: from €200 per person - Duration: 8h - Rating: 4.99/5 from 97 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Holy Pizza - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | NO TRANSPORTATION INCLUDED | €200 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, English | Villa D'Este visit Cooking Class 8 Testes Food&Wine degustation Pick up NOT INCLUDED Pickup included | | GROUP Tivoli DayTrip & Cooking | €350 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, English | Pickup included | | PRIVATE Tivoli DayTrip&Cooking | €395 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, English | Pickup included | ## What's included - Private transportation - Villa D' Este Tickets - Wine or Beer for Adults - Lunch - Air-conditioned vehicle ## Not included - Gratuities ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 09:15, 09:30, 10:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-12 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Good to know - Service animals allowed ## How it compares in Tivoli, Villa d'Este & Hadrian's Villa Ranked **#3 of 7** by Guidekin's weighted score (rating weighted by review volume).
