5-Hour Cooking class of Italian Cuisine

My friend and I - both pretty serious home cooks & gardeners - learned so much from this experience. Chef Alessandri was an excellent teacher: personable and entertaining, with a wry sense of humor and a breadth of knowledge and experience. The preparations he led us through were delicious and pure, while the techniques respected and brought the best out of the ingredients. We are coming home with valuable skills that we will use in our own kitchens. The Casale was so beautiful; I really hope we can return as guests of the manor one day. Louise and the staff were so kind and generous. It's inspiring to see people driven by what they love to do and bringing it off in such style. This cooking class is highly recommended, especially if you already have some facility in the kitchen and want to up your game.

Had 1 :1 class eir6h Chef Federico. Learned a lot about the techniques of sauce, fresh pasta, and gnocchi. Excellent teacher. Class was in English, but I understand a lot of Italian. Highly recommend the venue abdt the class in a beautiful setting.

Visiting Casale Alessandri in Umbria was truly a bucket list experience—and they absolutely did not disappoint. I chose the Cardamom package, and from start to finish, it was everything I hoped for and more. Booking was incredibly easy, communication was excellent, and I was even able to get the dates I wanted on short notice. The package offered great value for such a high-quality, immersive experience. The property itself is stunning—peaceful, charming, and beautifully maintained. My room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The hosts, Louise and Federico, were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make my stay special. They helped organize an unforgettable day trip to Cascate delle Marmore, Montefalco, and a wine tasting at Scacciadiavoli. One of the highlights of my trip were the private cooking lessons with Chef Alessandri. He created an unforgettable experience and served some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. His passion, skill, and hospitality were second to none. This was more than just a vacation—it was truly the experience of a lifetime. Louise and Federico (Chef Alessandri), and the entire staff made me feel at home. If you're looking for an authentic, warm, and memorable Italian escape, Casale Alessandri is the place to go. I can’t wait to return!
