Ciao a tutti!
I'm Costanza and I'm born in Florence and live here with my partner Knut who is Norwegian and our wonderful little viking Leonard.
I love cooking, agriculture, nature and meeting new people from all over the world:).
I have always breathed a wonderful atmosphere in the big kitchen, around the marble table where my grandmothers and grandfathers were used to cook together delicious meals.
I have a degree in Agricultural sciences and tecnologies from teh University of Florence.
Me and my sister Serena give cooking classes teaching Florentine cuisine. Serena prepare wonderful vegetarian and vegan meal for our guests and she is a Naturopath. Knut is a food and wine lover and he exports hand made italian food to Norway.
My father all around the Villa has a wonderful little farm that provide fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs and eggs to our guests: he is passionate with agriculture, history and arts.
My mother coordinates all of us...she is our "shining sun".
We'ld love to meet you!

Villa Il Paradisino belongs to my family since the year 1839, 6th generation.
Relaxation, warm friendly people, lovely walks in a completely safe environment, being in the countryside surrounded by a little nice town. Cafè, Supermarket, Deli, Butchers, restaurants, bank, pharmacy,medical studio are all between 5 and 20 minutes minute walk from the front door.

People that are passionate with garden, agriculture, locally produced food and wine, with arts and history and that are looking for authentic Tuscany will be happy to be our guests.
We' ll be happy to serve you breakfast and dinners made by the best natural ingredients from our garden and local organic farmers.
We have a Reception that provide assistance to our guests to help them with their daily program: we are here for you!
We are a nice place also for family reunions and children are very welcome to enjoy the pool the garden, giving food to the ducks and chickens, playing with our dog, taking cooking classes and participating to our pizza parties: a marathon of Taste around a XVI century wood burning oven.
Your vacation in Florence will be a memory of a life time.
