点评:Toscana Saporita is everything you can imagine and more. As with all businesses, the quality and the experience flows from the top down and there is no one more ebullient, hard working and welcoming than Sandra Rosy Lotti and her amazing team, including Allison, Keith, Garrison, Lucas, kyle and Enzo. This visit was my second, and with Sandra’s welcome, it felt as though I’d come home. The school itself and the lodging are located a short and scenic walk from Lake Massaciuccoli in the countryside of Lucca, in a 16th century country house once occupied by Giacomo Puccini. The school features Tuscan recipes prepared with locally sourced and seasonal foods. We learned how to make various pastas (including raviolis) and sauces and gelato and tarts and pizza and so much more and the theee meals each day were outstanding. The classes and excursions were peppered with Sandra’s entertaining storytelling and hilarious bantering among staff and students alike. Sandra warned that our group would be friends before the week was out, but honestly, we felt like family within a couple days. The excursions to Lucca, Porto Venere Cinque Terra, Pierrosandra, Sangiovanni, a marble workshop and truffle hunting adventure, a 300 year old mill, San gimignano and Voltera, to name (and perhaps misspell) a few were like stepping back in time to more history and beauty than I could have envisioned. We loved every second (and morsel) and are already dreaming of our next visit, with the infamous Italian accented words of Sandra reverberating in our minds- “Do It!!!”
翻译:Toscana Saporita 的一切都能满足您的想象,甚至超出您的想象。与所有企业一样,质量和体验自上而下,没有人比 Sandra Rosy Lotti 和她出色的团队(包括 Allison、Keith、Garrison、Lucas、Kyle 和 Enzo)更热情、更勤奋、更热情。这是我第二次来这里,在 Sandra 的欢迎下,我感觉就像回到家一样。学校本身和住宿地点距离卢卡乡村的马萨丘科利湖仅几步之遥,风景优美,坐落在一座 16 世纪的乡间别墅中,曾是贾科莫·普契尼的住所。学校以托斯卡纳菜肴为特色,采用当地食材和时令食材烹制而成。我们学会了如何制作各种意大利面(包括馄饨)、酱汁、意式冰淇淋、蛋挞、披萨等等,每天的三顿饭都非常美味。课堂和短途旅行中,Sandra 会讲有趣的故事,教职员工和学生之间也会开一些搞笑的玩笑。桑德拉警告说,我们这群人会在一周结束前成为朋友,但说实话,几天之内我们就感觉像家人一样了。游览卢卡、波尔图韦内雷五渔村、皮耶罗桑德拉、桑乔瓦尼、大理石作坊和松露狩猎探险、一座 300 年历史的磨坊、圣吉米尼亚诺和沃尔特拉,仅举几例(也许拼错了),就像回到过去,看到了比我想象的更多的历史和美景。我们喜欢每一秒(和每一点),并且已经在梦想着下一次访问,桑德拉那句臭名昭著的意大利口音的话在我们脑海中回荡——“去吧!!!”
