Welcome to Case Vecchie where you will discover much more than just another cooking school. Founded by Anna Tasca Lanza in 1989, the school at Case Vecchie offers an authentic Sicilian experience for anyone who shares a passion for cooking, natural beauty, terroir, and ingredients from a land that is unique the world over. Case Vecchie is a typical noble country residence with a square plant surrounding an internal courtyard on which all the living quarters and the school face.

Traditionally, we have always been very careful with our renovations and building maintenance to keep the place as close to the original as possible. It is in this magical setting from the past that you will begin your journey amongst the flavours and colors of our beloved Sicily.

Guided by Fabrizia Lanza, your stay at Case Vecchie will be an unforgettable vacation in the very heart of Sicily. Immersed in the rich uncontaminated sicilian landscapes you will will enjoy the area’s beautiful surroundings and bring back home a token memory of the traditions that make the island a truly unique place in the world
