Description
The Fig and the Nettle - Bed and Breakfast and Farmstay with Vegetarian and Vegan Cuisine.

Our farm business is born from the desire to share our passions, our potential, and our ideas.

We are a small family-run establishment located in Montepastore, a picturesque village in the Bolognese Apennines. Surrounded by nature, we are not too close, but not too far from the lively and always wonderful city of Bologna (about 30 km away).

In addition to offering comfortable accommodations, we have a restaurant with vegetarian and vegan cuisine, which will allow you to enjoy a relaxing break. You can even bring your dogs with you, they are welcome here.

We believe in the value of people and experiences. Every guest is a window to the world, someone to get to know and spend time with. Coming to us is like visiting friends and feeling "at home".

To discover more about us and the wonderful territory that surrounds us, all you have to do is come visit us.. we can't wait to welcome you!

Breakfast
For breakfast, you can enjoy homemade cakes and cookies (including vegan options if requested), fresh bread made with sourdough, jams, yogurt, cereals, milk, coffee, tea, barley, yogurt, and plant-based beverages.
Restaurant
For us, hosting you means welcoming you into our family, and that's why you will find a different kind of "restaurant" here. The mealtime becomes a unique occasion to share the experiences of the day, tell our stories, and get to know each other. We nourish ourselves not only with food, but also with emotions, unique and diverse like the people we encounter.

Our cuisine is exclusively vegetarian/vegan, prepared mainly with products from our farm and local businesses. We are committed to following the rhythms of nature, the availability of the garden and local producers, and choosing quality ingredients. Therefore, you will find a different menu depending on the season.

We offer a fixed menu that includes a small appetizer, first course, main course with side dish, dessert, water, and coffee. The cost, unless it is a holiday or special event, is 30.00 Euros per person.

IMPORTANT!
As mentioned, the season and availability of ingredients create the dishes and homemade products for breakfast. Therefore, we ask you to inform us in advance if you have any food intolerances or allergies.

The restaurant is open EXCLUSIVELY by reservation.

Carino ma si potrebbe fare di più. La colazione ad esempio, a mio avviso, è povera. Abbastanza scomodo anche arrivarci. La proprietaria è molto gentile e disponibile anche se ho pagato 10€ in più del prezzo pattuito per i riscaldamenti senza che nessuno me lo dicesse e soprattutto scrivesse prima. Questa cosa non mi è propria piaciuta!

We stayed at this beautiful farmhouse, welcomed by sweet dogs, Beatrice and Matteo. We immediately felt at home: the room is super spacious and very clean, the vegan bath products with linen towels, like in the old days! The dinner was really tasty and enjoyable to spend in their company at a very fair price. We hope to come back soon to see you. Thank you.

A beautiful place, in the quiet and greenery. A careful yet spontaneous welcome, in a beautiful structure but above all with two special people who make you feel at home. Ideal for those who love dogs and good vegan cuisine, for those looking for nature and peace and 'good vibrations'!
