10/11/2024: I had the pleasure of dining at Antiche Macine recently, and the experience was truly satisfying. The atmosphere is welcoming and well cared for, perfect both for a romantic evening and for a dinner with friends.
The staff was kind and attentive, always ready to respond to every request with a smile. The service was quick but without giving the feeling of rushing, giving us time to enjoy each dish.
The menu offers an interesting variety of options, with dishes prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. I highly recommend Antiche macine, a perfect mix of well-balanced flavours. The desserts are also delicious, ideal for ending the evening on a sweet note.
In conclusion, it is a place that I highly recommend. Quality and service live up to expectations, and prices are adequate for the experience offered. I can't wait to go back!
03/11/2024: The Antiche Macine Agriturismo is located at the foot of one of the most beautiful areas of the Province of Cuneo, the Marguareis Natural Park, located in the Pesio Valley.
You find yourself in a family environment welcomed in a bright room with a lovely fireplace. A warm and welcoming place! The owner family is characterized by a profound love for nature in perfect harmony with the entire context. The owners are extremely kind and helpful and you can sense their passion for homemade cuisine, made with high quality raw materials.
The dishes, typical of traditional Piedmontese cuisine, are offered in the fixed price menu or à la carte and are cooked with healthy and genuine ingredients grown on the farm itself and the exquisite meat comes from the renowned and historic butcher of the Pesio Valley. We had a taste of everything. The skilled cook cooked every course with expert skill, from appetizers to desserts.
The farm also has a ranch with over 30 horses. By being in contact with horses you can discover the elegance and magnificence of these simple and decidedly intelligent animals. You can go horseback riding and individual lessons are available for adults and children, to learn western riding in complete safety.
The agritourism farm, through various fruit and vegetable crops, provides an assortment of products with direct sales to the consumer. We purchased the cherry compote and pears in syrup and the lady gave us a gift of aubergine caponata. Everything delicious!
Inside the estate there is an AgriBar nestled among the trees, excellent for a delicious snack, an aperitif or an aperitif. In the adjacent woods the little ones can have fun in an adventure park surrounded by nature.
Try an overnight stay in the western-style wooden house, immersed in the woods and full of intimacy! And for the more romantic you can take horse-drawn carriage rides driven by a skilled coachman!
During the day, naturalistic excursions are offered to be covered on foot, by e-bike, by quod, by ecross motorbike or on horseback.
Last but not least, you can try your hand at and experience the thrill of dog sledding as there are around thirty well-mannered and affectionate sled dogs present and trained in the Ranch.
In winter you can also rent snowshoes to walk in the snow amidst the most uncontaminated nature.
There is also a field for traditional archery or horseback riding!
This place, which seems suspended in the past, is truly worth a visit. The atmosphere you perceive is almost enchanting. I recommend these experiences to those who truly love the essence of the things that matter.
And as Bruno Barbieri would say “It's worth the trip”!
PS: it is also recommended for campers like us because you will be able to find a large car park and stay overnight in complete safety.
