Villa Inglese Restaurant — Restaurant in Picinisco

This gorgeous 1926 villa now lovingly restored with all modern day comforts is a must stay location in this lovely hill top village. |With a breath taking view over the valley as we opened your blinds in the morning and a delicious breakfast served on the terrace, our day was off to a great start. We stayed for two nights as the finale to a week long tour before our drive back to Rome.|Our hosts Gaynor and Ben could not have been more welcoming and offered advice on the stunning local area. We were lucky enough to dine at Ville Inglese in the evening and I really don’t think there is enough space here to describe the meal that will prove truly unforgettable. |We left the course choices to our hosts and the meal that then ensued was out of this world.

We visited before the fabulous upgrade was completed but even then the welcome from Gaynor was soooo warm, the cuisine of Ben superlative and the village Picinisco is a delight of the mountainous Mediaeval era that is all too easy to miss in search of bigger glitzier venues. The views from our room was incredible and the roof terrazzo must be sublime all year round Actually the welcome from the whole village and the joy of the “Festival of Autumn” featuring a mushroom hunt followed by dinner and dancing in the village square beat anything the Cities can offer. The very best of luck to Villa Inglesi - absolutely worth the drive from Rome or Naples. Whilst you are there you can visit the magnificent but tragic memorial to the 50,000 lives lost in Second World War seige of Montecasino a few kilometres away. There is also ski-ing nearby in the winter although we were too early...
