Private Farmouse: Rome Countryside Lunch with Chef & Villa D'Este
Description
This is not your typical day trip—it's a boutique, intimate journey into the heart of Italy set on a peaceful farmhouse surrounded by olive trees. Led by a local chef, you’ll spend the day immersed in nature, good food, and genuine hospitality. More than a lunch, it’s a rare opportunity to taste, drink and experience a real working farmhouse, far from the tourist trail. From garden to table, you'll be served traditional Roman dishes with fresh local ingredients and enjoy them over wine and conversation. Visit Villa d’Este, a UNESCO World Heritage site of magical fountains and Renaissance gardens—a perfect spot to soak in beauty and take the best photos of your trip. This is the kind of day that stays with you.

Such a one of kind experience . Great host and great food.
Absolutley WONDERFUL!! The drive was just GORGEOUS!! We enjoyed the hospitality and incredible Italian lunch made by Chef David! D’Este was so beautiful! Perfect way to end our trip in ROME! Definitely made our trip and a MUST do!
Ciao Amy :) Grazie mille! It was lovely to host you Chef Davide & Elena
A wonderful opportunity to venture into the countryside beyond Rome. Davide and Elena are generous hosts and provided both a fun and informative approach to cooking. All of the food was delicious. The visit to Villa D’Est was a fabulous opportunity although the heat of the afternoon made it rather challenging.
Ciao Jeanette :) Grazie for your wonderful words! Chef Davide & Elena
I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience our family had in Tivoli and particularly with Davide and Elena. The gardens were beyond amazing but having our delicious lunch prepared for us by Davide and Elena was an experience that I cannot begin to describe how wonderful it was . Our whole family agree that it was the highlight of our 2 week trip to Italy. Don’t miss this!!!!! Janet P.
Ciao Jenet :) So great that our experience was the highlight of your trip! Chef Davide
This was one of the best excursions we have been on. It’s a must see if you are in the area. You’ll never meet a more pleasurable and friendly team like Chef Davide and his lovely wife Elena. We highly recommend their cooking class, lunch and visit to Villa d Esti.
Ciao Sandra! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear this was one of the best excursions you've been on—that's such a huge compliment. 🙏
