Altrocanto — Restaurant in Farindola

I had never been to Abruzzo nor the Gran Sasso national park and I thought this was a great starting point for a 2 day stay in the area. The room I was given was brand new (there are 5 rooms and they all are new) with my own private terrace. I was the only guest there during my 2 days, so I was lucky! Felt like I had the place to myself.||||Breakfast was included and served in the dining room. It was extensive. Breads, meats, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, fruits, need I go on? You can also reserve lunch and diner there. I had both a lunch and a dinner there and it was stupendous. The pasta to die for and the eggplant parmigiana, creative and delicious. I also ordered the Peposo, which is a Tuscan red meat dish made with wine and pepper. Looking now to recreate that recipe! ||||Thomas and Marco were helpful in showing me where to visit in the area, with detailed instructions. I would return there...

Un sorta di angolo di Paradiso, creato ad arte dai proprietari. Thomas è il tutto fare, affidabile, preciso, attento a soddisfare ogni esigenza del cliente senza MAI essere invadente. Marco è lo Chef con la C maiuscola. Abbiamo fatto colazione ogni mattina e cenato quasi tutte le sere lì, quindi abbiamo praticamente assaggiato gran parte delle cose preparate da loro. DELIZIOSE. Tutti piatti e dolci fatti in casa. Dai biscotti al succo di frutta, dalle torte e crostate alle marmellate, dal liquore agli splendidi e saporiti primi e secondi della casa. Il tortino al cioccolato ed il semifreddo ai fichi lasciano il segno (grande chef!). Peraltro la struttura non è molto grande ma ha tutto ciò che serve per rilassarsi e godersi la vacanza. Situato a Farindola, piccola ma carina, questo Bad & Breakfast ti permette di raggiungere alcuni tra i siti più belli dell'Abruzzo in appena mezz'ora/45 minuti (Campo Imperatore, Rocca Calascio, Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Castel Monte da una parte e Castelli, Arsita, Penne dall'altra e tanti altri ancora) e puoi percorrere tanti sentieri in mezzo ai boschi. Occhio però per chi vuole avventurarsi in mezzo alla natura perché i sentieri sono segnati male. e per arrivare ad un ipotetico punto di inizio sentiero si passa da strade asfaltate per lo più dissestate a strade bianche spesso impraticabili. Preparatevi a "navigare" in mezzo al bosco a vista perché i segni sugli alberi (vernice) presto spariscono. Noi ci siamo orientati con la bussola e con l'App Wikiloc. Il posto comunque se ben organizzati vale la pena. Per notizia per noi il relax è durato 7...
