I started casually more than three years ago taking the opportunity to manage Casale Fusco farm house. I'm not obsessed with cooking, but I definitely like it a lot. I think it's because cooking involves so many skills and pleasures; not many other activities demand such varied aptitudes and satisfy such diverse desires. It seems like cooking needs precision, panache, timing, taste, imagination, generosity, dedication to practice, mechanical ability, curiosity, some willingness to err, aesthetic judgement, creativity, good memory, synthetic thinking, attention, a convivial nature.

"Guest"
Vincenzo and Andrea were very informative, kind and generous. They tried their utmost to ensure our experience is wonderful. By the time we left Casale, we felt like being with our family for a week. The tours were selected carefully and were outstanding. We learned a lot about the Roman history and the towns we visited: Spoleto, Assissi, Monte Falco, Bevagna etc. The cooking experience was fun and we learned so much about the Italian cuisine

"A Hidden Gem!"
This was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. Communication was great and my experience was far greater than I expected. All of the people were warm, friendly, and gave me a feeling of family. I wanted to keep this little experience as my secret, but alas, that would not be fair to them. This was a PERFECT experience from start to finish. Highly recommended. These are true professionals that seem to do it all effortlessly. I already wish to go back!

"Heavenly!"
Our stay at the casa fualco was better than expected. Our hosts Andrea and Vincenzo went out of their way to endure we had an excellent experience in Umbria. The guide and driver we had was also awesome, as was our cooking instructor Maria. I cannot wait to return!

"A slice of heaven"
Upon arrival we felt very welcome. Our rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Bathroom was recently updated, very large, wonderful olive oil soap was an extra treat. We had four amazing cooking classes with Maria, while she didn’t speak English, Andrea was there to translate. Maria was extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the kitchen. To us it was like cooking in your own kitchen, very relaxed and casual, which we liked the style of. We learned a lot of new ways to combine different ingredients. Simple and fresh ingredients. Very hands on. We were served all the courses we prepared along with some of their fabulous wines!
The scenery there is jaw dropping, we couldn’t get enough! The excursions they took us on were the most memorable. The hill towns were breathtaking. The food amazing. Aurelio our driver and guide became like family, you could see his love and passion for his home of Spoleto shone through in everywhere we went.
Casale Fusco was a dream come true for us and Vincenzo and Andrea couldn’t have been more wonderful. We really felt like family the whole time we were there. If I could give them 1000 stars I would. We hope to go back every year, it was the highlight of our trip.

"Outstanding & Unforgettable"
Where to start - Vincenzo, Andrea and Maria were perfect hosts. From the moment I arrived I felt the warmth of their welcome. From the cooking lessons with Maria to the Truffle Hunting and Wine tasting - everything was organised well, thoughtful and a lovely experience. The few days I was there I packed in so much, enjoyed the wonderful Umbrian countryside, marvelled at the churches and the architecture. I learnt to cook traditional local recipes, made pasta and was introduced to the wonders of Italian wines and olives oils. I would truly recommend Casale Fusco holidays - and I will be returning with my friends in tow very soon! Thank you Vince, Andrea and Maria.

"Italian hospitality "
You feel right at home and this lovely casale and Maria & Vincenzo are amazing hosts.
The cooking class with Maria was very relaxed with a glass of wine and a snack and we learned a lot of new things.
We were spoiled with yummy food and amazing wines and great service.
In addition, we were so happy with the organized excursions during the day time, especially the truffle hunting! Thanks so much for this amazing week.

"Must do: Incredible & Delicious experience"
The food, farmhouse, people and activities were amazing. A beautiful blend of exploring the villages of the area, eating, drinking, cooking and learning about local delicacies and how to cook them. A highlight activity was truffle hunting as we searched and found the precious black gold! I have already made so many recipes again to share with family and recreate Umbria at home. Andrea ans Vincent were like family as we cooked, laughed and explored together. Such a unique and special way to explore Umbria. Highly recommend and hope to be back again.
