Eating
Cooking is Paola’s passion, and both she and Stefano are
enthusiastic hosts, keen to share their love of Umbrian cuisine and
regional wines. Their speciality is a delicious home-cooked
4-course dinner offering 2 choices per course (ordered in
advance) and served in the dining room (a cosy space with
restaurant-style tables and a living-room atmosphere) or outside on
the terrace.
The menu, which changes every day, is modern-traditional and driven
by the availability of seasonal produce. Paola's philosophy is to
only use ingredients sourced locally by farmers, and all meat and
vegetables are organic. A typical dinner might start with
lentil flan with shrimps or grilled aubergine served with
mozzarella and parmigiano cheeses, basil and fresh tomato sauce. A
pasta dish usually follows – pappardelle al cinghiale
(wild boar), or tagliatelle with Norcia truffle. Main dishes might
include fillet of beef cooked in red wine, or rolled turkey filled
with chestnut and truffles. For dessert? Strawberry bavarese with
vanilla cream, or pan di spezie with vinsanto and
pear.
Breakfast is continental (cereals, fruit, pastries, yoghurt,
cooked eggs to order) and is served (until 10am) in the dining room
or on the terrace. You can have breakfast in your room at extra
cost.
