Description

A simple yet welcoming refuge in the woodlands of the Modenese Apennines, where the scent of truffle in season mingles with the aromas of Emilian and mountain specialties. In the dining room, Sara Ori greets guests with warmth and genuine smiles, while her parents orchestrate flavors in the kitchen: father at the helm of juicy, steaming meats, mother crafting hand-rolled pastas and fragrant desserts, among them a standout zuppa inglese, creamy and comforting. For those who relish the open road and sweeping vistas, the drive along the SP3 from Modena is well worth it: an hour of winding curves
