• Embraced by chestnut groves, mountain prairies and beech woods, we walk accompanied by the sound of the water of streams, waterfalls, water streams and the apparent silence of the forest where we perceive the movements of trees and the rustle of leaves. An immersion in an ever-changing environment that leads us to a typical Mountain House in which we will feel at home, between a glass of wine, a fire and a lunch all based on recipes of the past (the real ones!)in which chestnut flour reveals itself in all its culinary forms. In the company of stories that give identity to the place and to the people who live this piece of the mountain.
