Calvenere — Restaurant in Calvene

Let's start by saying: what an amazing and beautiful place! It's very clear that the whole ground is a passion project of the owner. Everything is just right, right until every last single detail.

We've stayed at one of the cabins for a week and that was so great. The house was really clean, had a modern interior, a GREAT shower and a decent kitchen area.

The outside of the house was even better. It was a spacious area where our dog was allowed to roam free. The area has an amazing view over southern Italy from the seemingly last mountain row of the dolomites. Our cabin even had an outdoor shower.

For those who like to hike: there are two entry points for some nice walking up the mountain really nearby. One is across the street at the lower car port. The other one is a small walk up the mountain. I did the former, which takes you to a 1500m high top and which is a nice hike that takes you through some old ruins.

The owner is a lovely person who really did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible and loved having a little chat every now and then, even though she had to repeat herself over and over because my Italian is really bad. I figure she does a lot of art herself and that is spread throughout the whole area, the restaurant, the cabins and that gave everything such a nice finish and vibe.

The restaurant was great as well. We are there the first and our last day of our stay. Wines were great and the food as well. They do some nice vegetarian dishes. First course a varying choice of different pasta dishes, second course some traditional polenta with multiple cheeses and vegetables. The desserts are all beautifully crafted, some with nice fresh fruit. Oh and everything they serve is grown biologically and organically so that's a plus.

I've seen people complain about the way up, but really it isn't that bad. First time was a bit of a search, but the road is so low in traffic that you can take your time to safely drive up. Second time you drive the climb I'd say you're used to it already and it becomes a non-issue.

To the owner: thank you for having us, we greatly enjoyed our stay and I hope to be...

The room is exactly like the photo. Our chalet was so cute withe lovely sitting out area. The bed is comfortable and it was all spotlessly clean. |We had a beautiful view surrounded by nature. We slept very well as it was quiet. We woke up to a stunning sunrise and were able to step outside to fresh air and birdsong. |We ate at the vegetarian restaurant twice and we had breakfast. The food is excellent and all made on the property from organic ingredients. |The restaurant area is cozy with a lovely friendly atmosphere. It was full, the night we were there. |The chalets have limited to no WIFI, which is nice as one can escape the onslaught of social media and phone calls and really become present in the surroundings and with each other. |The water pressure in the bathroom is low, so it's best to place the toilet paper in the bin provided rather than habitually down the toilet. This doesn't detract from the stay at all. In fact, it encourages a break away from the norm.|The owner is so sweet, she does everything she can to make you fell welcome and comfortable. |We stayed for 2 nights and it was so relaxing. My husband and I spent time sat outside taking in the view, reading books and chatting....

"LA MIA PRIMA E NON ULTIMA VOLTA"Fossi un uomo?! Terrei sicuramente conto di questa location per una romantica proposta...Arrivarci la strada è un po' tortuosa, ma arrivata a destinazione sono stata accolta da un panorama serale spettacolare e dalla cara Signora Maria, proprietaria di Calvenere.Se all'esterno c'è una vista meravigliosa, all'interno ci si sente coccolati, i dettagli sono curati ,in sintonia con il posto e una stufa a legna che, ahimè, a maggio mi ha proprio riscaldata. Chi si aspetta dei piatti stellati ha sbagliato posto, ma chi vuole assaporare del cibo semplice genuino e gustoso fa al caso suo. Per chi fosse vegetariano non manca nulla. Insomma, ho apprezzato un antipasto, un primo, un secondo e naturalmente il dessert, il tutto accompagnato con del buon vino.Da rivedere il servizio,trovo il rapporto qualità/prezzo adeguato. Ci ritornerò non solo per una bella cena a lume di candela ma anche per passare un weekend in una delle casette esterne che la Signora Maria mette a...
