| Il Bottaccio Tuscan classes |
|
What better way to celebrate a break in Italy than to enhance your pasta-making skills? The Il Bottaccio cooking classes run from October 5th until December 20th. The ‘hands-on’ Masterclass offers an exclusive opportunity to work with two chefs from the Il Bottaccio team in producing a beautiful seasonal menu. Spend a few hours in the purpose built Cooking School kitchen dealing with the region’s best produce.

Il Bottaccio is an 18th century mill converted into an elegant country house, nestling at the foot of the lush green slopes of Forte dei Marmi, in Tuscany. The luxury maison, member of Relais & Châteaux since 1988, is the result of a careful and expert restoration of the ancient water mill of the seventeenth century, transformed into the most exclusive 5-star luxury hotels with SPA of Forte dei Marmi and Versilia.
Water and marble. The spirit of Il Bottaccio is nourished by these two elements. The water of the Versilian Sea, the streams of the Apuan mountains, the watercourse that turned the great wheel of the olive press that used to stand here. The marble of the caves of white gold, above Carrara, where Michelangelo chose the stone for his David and Pietà. Today, water has replaced the oil that once filled the great pool, now the centerpiece of the restaurant. The marble, though, has flourished, in the shape of works of art collected by the hosts.
The class includes a three-hour cooking session, sit-down lunch of dishes produced, wine and a folder of recipes.
 Space is limited as classes are individual and personalized.
Then at dinnner, you might sit down to an exquisite dish such as this. |
