Description
Welcome to Altrocanto, a place of Peace, Taste, and Creativity
Altrocanto is located in the strong and gentle land of the Abruzzo, in the remote village of Farindola, at the feet of a majestic mountain. Far from crowds, from chaos, and from indiscreet eyes, Altrocanto is our long sought dream, finally realized, with love and attention.

This is a place of calm, slow days, lost time found again, reading; a place for the rediscovery of taste; and a starting place for joyful daytrips, cultural visits and silent pilgrimages.

Breakfast
Restaurant
At Altrocanto, we offer zero-kilometer dining in a cozy and relaxing environment, where care and familiarity are equally felt. For our preparations, we only use seasonal products from small local producers, locally sourced flour and oil, strictly Abruzzo wines, preferably organic. The only non-local products are supplied by Fair Trade and LiberaTerra (organic productions on lands confiscated from the mafia). In this way, we try to contribute to the local area and feel supported by it in an active and responsible interaction.

Abruzzo raw materials for boundaryless recipes.

Our menu is very concise, usually offering a choice between two options for appetizers, first courses, main courses, and desserts. It changes approximately every two weeks but may have substitutions or new dishes introduced daily, depending on the availability of local products and, above all, the chef's creativity. The basis for this choice is the desire to prioritize the authenticity of flavors, the rediscovery of local and niche products often excluded from large-scale distribution, and why not, also to reduce waste by avoiding the accumulation of large stocks of food.

Instead of filling freezers, we prefer, like housewives, to go several times a week to our trusted butcher, or to the characteristic farmers' market in Penne, or to the cheese factory, or to Mrs. Luciana's to get the renowned Pecorino di Farindola.

In this way, we try to build and maintain a direct human relationship with our suppliers, which is rewarding and also very valuable, considering that the best tips in the kitchen almost always come from the producers of raw materials, like the fantastic ladies of the market!
Our offer always includes both meat and vegetarian dishes, and if notified in advance, we can also accommodate vegan friends. In a quiet and enveloping room, with a light musical accompaniment, we can accommodate a maximum of 25 guests at our 7 tables.

We accept Visa and Mastercard credit cards and electronic payment through Satispay.

A fantastic and clean place, with a super cozy room. There is a slightly vintage atmosphere in a context of peace and relaxation. They offer excellent breakfasts with homemade sweets, jams, and juices. Try the restaurant for refined and enveloping flavors. Well done Thomas and Marco!

Delightful structure, attention to detail. Special focus on environmental sustainability, extremely kind manager, provided us with useful tips to explore the area. We also had the chance to appreciate, besides the excellent quality and variety of breakfast, the restaurant's cuisine, being able, in this case as well, to appreciate the quality of the raw materials and the extreme skill in turning them into excellent dishes. Excellent value for money. A must if you are in the area.

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo splendido B&B e ne siamo rimasti affascinati ed incantati. L'arredamento nelle camere e in tutto il B&B é molto particolare e ben curato. Come del resto anche nei piatti c'è molta cura e la qualità è molto alta. Gli antipasti ottimi. Il pecorino di Farindola unico Il manzo alla medici e le linguine con peperone dolce e baccalà speciali. Il gestore è una persona disponibile gentile e mette a proprio agio.

Siamo stati qui ieri, io e mio marito, solo per il pranzo. Siamo rimasti colpiti dalla struttura molto accogliente con arredamento un po' vintage ma scelto con molto gusto e curato nei minimi particolari. Apprezzabile anche la serie di romanzi e poesie di valore messa a disposizione dei clienti. Ottima la pulizia dei locali, in particolare del bagno anch'esso molto curato. La cucina propone un misto di nuovi sapori ben equilibrati tra loro e la presentazione dei piatti è eccellente. Il gestore e lo chef sono discreti ma molto gentili e disponibili. Sicuramente da tenere presente per varie occasioni.

Siamo stati due notti come base di partenza per visitare il Gran Sasso. La disponibilità di Thomas è davvero super. La camera, così come tutta la struttura, sono davvero arredate con gusto la pulizia delle camere perfetta. La sera abbiamo cenato al ristorante all'interno della struttura con ottimo cibo. La cucina non è del territorio, ma è fatta a Km 0, cioè con cibi del territorio preparati da Marco con grande sapienza. La consiglio a tutti. Sicuro mi ripresenterò se dovessi capire in quelle zone.
