My husband and I just completed a week at Villa Schiatti for cooking classes, wine tasting and a truffle hunt in the beautiful Tuscan region of Italy. It was an amazing week! One of our best vacations ever. The whole staff did everything they could to meet our expectations. We are already talking about planning another such week in Italy! - Juanita W

ACCOMMODATIONS
Casa Gregorio - The “Dimora Storica” Casa Gregorio occupies a 1797 structure in the heart of the historic center of Castro dei Volsci. The date is still visible on the keystone of the arch framing the original entrance door. The three story high dimora storica belonged to the nobility of the town, was completely renovated and restored in 2010 and today still preserves coffered wooden ceilings, antique wooden beams, and some original tile flooring. The interior décor reflects the ancient look while giving visitors luxury modern day conveniences. The Frantoio, an old traditional olive oil mill dating back to the 16th century, is located on the ground floor and is attached to the old three story high residence. Even though it is no longer operable, the Frantoio with its stone mill’s press and various components, is a fascinating sight for the curious visitors interested in learning how the extra virgin olive oil was extracted from the handpicked olives by the natives in the surrounding olive groves.
