This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet Simona and her mother at their house in Impruneta. As you arrive, your hosts will take you on a tour of their property where you will enjoy views of their vineyards, a huge garden with orchards and other fruit trees, tennis court and pool. After your property tour sit down together to enjoy authentic, home-made Tuscan meal. All the food will be served in the original pots of the house, which have been preserved for many generations. As a starter, Simona's mother will make her family's recipe for vegetable lasagna, which has an incredible texture and deep flavor. For your main course, your hosts will serve sliced tender meat, seasoned with local herbs and accompanied by steamed beans, which is a typical preparation of that area of Tuscany. For dessert, you will try a home-made cake served with custard and fruits from their own property, such as blueberries and currants (depending on the season). Throughout the meal, Simona will share stories about her grandfather, the owner of a restoration company that, among other things, restored many of Florence's famous buildings.
