5.00A fabulous day that started with a very interesting narration of the history of the area. It was good to learn new recipes, to meet people from around the world and to eat the delicious food that we made! Genevieve is a wonderful host and a great teacher.

5.00I hosted my intimate rehearsal dinner here in June, and it was the most memorable/special experience. Everything is taken care of for you, the cooking was super fun, and the food was so tasty. They go above and beyond to ensure everyone is happy. It was my favorite event of my entire wedding experience :)

5.00I'm a Travel Advisor based in California, and I've had the pleasure of working with Genevieve for two groups I've sent to Lake Como—a group of 14 in September 2024 and another group of 10 in July 2025. Both enjoyed her Cooking and Spritz demo experience, and the feedback has been nothing but glowing. My clients raved about the food, the views, and how much fun they had! Genevieve is also a dream to work with—responsive, organized, and thoughtful. She even helped with ferry schedules and arranged transportation, which made the planning seamless. I look forward to continuing to work with her for any future groups heading to Lake Como. Thank you again, Genevieve!
Fantastic experience!
