Experiences in Guinzano
Not just a place to sleep. At Guinzano you learn, walk, laze and eat — all with the same philosophy: slowly and well.
Cooking classes
Learning to cook at Guinzano does not mean watching someone else cook. It means being in the kitchen with Stefano, getting your hands dirty, understanding why things are done one way and not another. Umbrian cuisine, the farm’s own produce, the season — everything becomes part of the course.
One afternoon
Quick courses
For those with little time but who want to take something concrete home. An afternoon in the kitchen with Stefano — one recipe, one technique, one secret.
2-3 days
Short residential courses
Stay + cooking. Sleep at Guinzano, cook in the morning, eat what you made. The afternoon is free for the woods or for doing nothing.
5 days
Residential course
A short but intense week. Five days immersed in Umbrian cuisine — from fresh pasta to meat dishes, from game to traditional desserts.
7 days
Full residential course
The most complete course. A full week at Guinzano — cooking, eating, exploring the area. You go home with a suitcase full of recipes and a few extra kilos.
Doing nothing, deliberately
In praise of idleness
Knowing how to do nothing is not as easy as it sounds. It takes practice. At Guinzano you can train — lying in a meadow, sitting under a tree, with a book or without. Nobody will ask what you did today.
No schedules, no compulsory activities, no alarms. Just time flowing at the right pace.
