Al Rifugio della Volpe In Tocco caudio

Very welcoming place, we had lunch with two first courses and a second course. Everything was delicious, especially the handmade pasta: highly recommended first courses! Prices slightly high for the portions, but justified by the quality of the products. The waiters were very friendly, but the service was a little slow. All in all a great experience, recommended!

Al termine di un'escursione in MTB con amici ci siamo fermati a pranzo in questa sorta di rifugio, caldo e accogliente, immerso nella natura a pochi passi dall'ex Hotel Taburno. Personale educato e gentile, locale carino con tanti cimeli tra cui una volpe imbalsamata. Abbiamo assaggiato l'antipasto della casa, sfizioso ed abbondante, la pasta e patate con provola, davvero buona, e poi gli arrosticini con qualche contorno. Prezzi nella norma. La struttura inoltre dispone anche di bungalow immersi nella natura, da provare. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente.

Beautiful place with fantastic cuisine. High quality products cooked very well. Extremely friendly and professional staff. We felt at home

A beautiful farmhouse in the mountains, good air, a refuge from the summer heat. Tasty food, quick service, friendly staff. There are rooms to stay overnight but we didn't sleep. They appear domed externally, very nice.

When I have to choose the structure in which to spend a few days of relaxation, it has been my habit, for years now, to consult online reviews. I literally do the "CT scan with contrast" before making my decision and when I find many positive reviews, after reading some of them, I take a look at the negative ones, to understand if any complaints could justify my choice. Nonetheless, I have never reviewed any structure before and not out of laziness or unfulfilled expectations, on the contrary. Most of the time I found what I expected, but I always felt that my first review should be reserved for a truly special experience. I love the mountains and last spring I started looking for a structure that wasn't too far from my city. I found this refuge by chance and obviously dove into reading the reviews. I thought, “One of these days I'll show up there without a reservation and ask if I can eat. And if the location, the managers and the food convince me, I also ask if they have availability for August." It was midday when one Sunday at the end of June I got into the car to realize what I had had in mind for a few months: in an hour I was at the refuge. I was welcomed by Giovanni, a gentle man with a polite and affable manner. I explained to him what my intentions were; with a reassuring air he told me: “There should be availability for August, but I'll talk about this later with my wife who takes care of the b&b. For now, sit down and choose what to eat." I won't stay here to list the delicacies I tasted that Sunday. After lunch I met Luciana, Giovanni's wife: a generous woman, passionate about good old-fashioned cuisine... and coffee! I explained to her that I needed a quote for a few nights after August, half board. Luciana immediately confirmed her availability and invited me to make the request via WhatsApp. I also visited one of the 5 igloo-shaped bungalows: I was struck by the essential, fresh, ventilated rooms. Suddenly I felt myself being taken by the hand by a tender little angel with thick blonde hair: Antonio Pio, the managers' son, just 3 years old. “Come, I'll show you my friends!” - he said pulling me towards him. And he accompanied me by a donkey and two goats. That Sunday I also met Giuliano, Luciana's eldest son: a clean-faced, polite boy, passionate about cooking like his mother. Before returning home, I stopped to chat with the managers: a few words were enough to "recognize us" and switch from "she" to "you". They explained to me their corporate philosophy, their efforts to maintain their identity and to ensure excellent service. “The customer who comes here selects himself” - Luciana told me. When I returned home I waited a few hours before requesting the estimate for August; I have a rather sensitive stomach and although what I had eaten for lunch was very tasty, I wanted to make sure I didn't have any digestive problems. After my heart, my stomach also gave me the go-ahead to book. I had confirmation of the booking before even making the deposit transfer: after 7 days I had to remind Luciana that I was waiting to know the amount to be paid. In August I rediscovered the warmth and familiarity that I had "tasted" a few months earlier: I am very reserved and find it difficult to talk about myself. It was natural and spontaneous to confide in Giovanni and Luciana - unexpected traveling companions I met by chance along my personal journey. They pampered me, I felt at home. “There's a party in town tonight. If you like, you can come with us." I don't know how many of you have had the privilege of receiving such an invitation. My stay at the refuge is coming to an end: I already miss everything I have experienced here in recent days. Mine is probably not a review in the strict sense, I don't know how many of you will find it useful. Consider it a page from my personal diary...

Un bel posto,tutto quello consumato e' a km zero e di qualita', personale disponibile, proprietari simpatici e sempre presenti.

Lovely place surrounded by nature, welcoming staff and excellent food! Luciana and Giovanni will make you feel at home 🫂

Ho avuto il piacere di pranzare presso il Rifugio della Volpe e devo dire che l'esperienza è stata assolutamente straordinaria. Fin dal momento del nostro arrivo, siamo stati accolti con calore e un'ospitalità davvero speciale. L'agriturismo è in una posizione incantevole, immerso nel verde e circondato da una natura incontaminata. I piatti sono preparati con ingredienti freschi e di stagione, ogni piatto è un vero viaggio nei sapori locali. Ad agosto non è stata la prima volta che abbiamo pranzato al rifugio e non sarà di sicuro l'ultima, torneremo presto!!! Che aggiungere.. Luciana e la sua famiglia sono semplicemente meravigliosi!

Beautiful mid-August holiday spent with the family at this farmhouse expertly managed by Giovanni and his family. As always, an excellent lunch with excellent service, despite the large number of customers. Kindness and professionalism continue to be the driving force of this refuge. Highly recommended.

I spent two unforgettable days at the refuge, contemplating the silence, the greenery and the sincere hospitality of Luciana and Giovanni. I went alone, but being there I realized that it was like going to visit two old and dear friends. Found "by chance" last year, I returned this year, first to celebrate my birthday and then to take refuge from the heat of the city. But once there, you realize that the place is much more than a refuge, but not only for its generous and uncontaminated nature. Especially for those who manage and carry forward this place, dare I say, sacred, with love and passion, for their attentive hospitality and devotion, not only to the raw materials, but above all to the soul of the visitor, who cannot help but remain profoundly grateful and grateful. See you soon ❤️
