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.

5.00OMG! This was a fantastic cooking experience! Louise was an excellent host and was very lovely overall. The view was absolutely amazing which helped make this experience even more special. The bottomless Rose’ was also a very nice touch :-) You make MORE than enough food so don’t worry about not having enough to eat.

From the minute Francesca picked us up at the meeting place I knew it was going to be a great experience, Their home was warm and inviting and we made new friends and shared many laughs. Besides the amazing pasta and wine, Francesca and Giia were so fun and great teachers, They made our pasta making so easy, we’re excited to go home and try it in our own kitchen.

5.00What a magnificent night! We learned how to make gnocchi, spaghetti, and a stuffed pasta. Francey and Luicia were fun, informative, and so welcoming to the home. Bring an empty stomach, and a camera, the views from the home were stunning. An unforgettable evening in Florence. I would absolutely do this again!
