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.

My name is Maria I was born in 1979, I inherited this land from my father, place where he grew up, place where my grandparents lived with their 7 children. My grandmother took care of the stable and the house, her kitchen was a show with the wood oven and the hotbed, her food was magic, I think she could make a stone soup tasty too! I liked to cook with her, she taught me so many secrets, from her I inherited her cookbook. As a child I remember that on hot afternoons in July and August I wandered all over the land, I liked the smell of hay, the smell of stables, the smell of must and dreamed that when I grew up I wanted to plant the vegetable garden, milk the cows, pick grapes and make bread. And now here I am, fate has brought me here with my inheritances and my childhood dream: my land and my grandmother's cookbook to share with those who will have the pleasure of joining me 1 experience at 10: 00 menu' fresh pasta (withdrawal included)
