My name is Claudia Cesa, and I was born and raised in Siena. I hold a diploma in Classics and a BA in Art History from the University of Siena. After completing an internship at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, I attended a professional school for Tuscan tourism and became a licensed tour guide in 2015. In 2021, I obtained an additional license for hiking tours in the Tuscan countryside.
In addition to my work as a guide, I have a deep passion for gastronomy. In 2016, I earned the title of Official Olive Oil Taster from AICOO (Associazione Italiana Conoscere l’Olio d’Oliva), and in 2023, I became a certified professional sommelier through AIS (Associazione Italiana Sommelier).
My family has owned Villa Santa Chiara since the early 1900s, and I am actively involved in managing our business, which includes producing high-quality olive oil and renting holiday apartments on the estate.
