This is a lovely 300 year-old family-run bed and breakfast. All the food is made in house from the pastries to the savoury dishes. Breakfast is memorable and I would advise to not have lunch plans for afterwards. The inn has lovely vaulted ceilings and is decorated with antique copper and terracotta cookware. The garden is full of herbs and beautiful strawberry trees (corbezzolo). In short, if they offer you anything to eat, say yes.
