ABOUT ARIANNA & FRIENDS
Arianna & Friends is a tour operator and destination management company located in the territory of Terricciola,
a medieval town in the country area called Terre di Pisa, between Pisa and Volterra.
The owners are Arianna and Massimo, two locals who deeply love their beautiful Tuscany and its traditions.
Arianna & Friends offers authentic in-home chef services with the help of local cooks, who are available also for hands-on cooking classes.
Arianna herself selected the cooks by asking them to cook for her. She has always been looking for people who could cook so well as her Granny did.
This is what inspired Arianna to start a food-oriented project in tourism in 2007 and the cooks she selected became her first “friends” in this.
Today Arianna & Friends offers also authentic experiences in the company of local people for visitors who want to see the real Tuscany, visit excellent local
farms and access areas of Tuscany that are out of the mass tourism destinations.
Arianna and her colleague guides bring you to meet wine, cheese, chocolate and olive oil producers,
fantastic people who make this area of Tuscany a great authentic destination.

BECOME A NEW FRIEND OF OURS!
A testimonial from Lauren (from NYC) ‘Arianna & Friends is a wonderful company with a wide array of services. My husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at
the Hilton Grand Vacation Club in Tuscany. We used Arianna & Friends for two events – private chef in villa and cheese and olive oil tour. Daniella came to our villa and made
us a an authentic Italian meal from scratch with items fresh from the farmers market that morning! It was absolutely delicious, but even more wonderful was the company
and culture brought to our own villa that evening.
Luca took my husband and I on a private tour and tasting of a local EVOO mill and separately a cheese farm where we had an incredible and filling lunch, which included
excellent wine! It was so personalized and we truly experienced the life and culture of the Tuscan locals. Can’t wait to go back and we will only book with Arianna & Friends!
Looking forward to it…It looks like we’ll be back this summer!!!’BOOKING FORM
