Breakfast is one of the most cherished moments of the stay, designed to start the day with flavor and lightness. The table features artisan bread made with sourdough and carefully selected flours, homemade jams made from the property’s fruits, dried fruits, organic products, and seasonal ingredients. There are also natural herbal teas made from aromatic herbs grown in the garden, perfect for a gentle awakening. Plant-based beverages and options for those following a plant-based diet are also available. This breakfast is rich in authentic flavors, thoughtfully prepared and served in a peaceful atmosphere, either outdoors or by the fireplace depending on the season.
Home Restaurant
The culinary offering of the farmhouse is based on a philosophy that emphasizes the quality of raw materials, seasonality, and respect for nature. The cuisine is mainly vegan and organic, featuring dishes made with local ingredients and produce harvested directly from the property's garden when available. The recipes vary according to the season and current inspiration, highlighting grains, legumes, vegetables, wild herbs, long-fermented bread, and fresh, nutritious preparations. The result is simple yet flavorful cuisine that can naturally surprise diners. Meals are served in a warm and relaxed atmosphere, either by the fireplace during the cooler months or in the garden during the pleasant season, turning every dinner into an authentic shared experience.

Excellent welcoming environment, ideal for recharging the batteries. Excellent hospitality from Mrs. Elisabeth, who makes you feel like family. The vegetarian dinner and the organic breakfast arouse the curiosity of those who do not know them and, as proposed by Casale Hortensiae, are an invitation to repeat the experience lived. Quality/price ratio: very good.
