27/03/2024: Let's start by saying that the road to reach this place is a gift from nature, it seems to be an integral part of an oil painting on canvas, a ring of Apennine rock that guards a valley with colors of rare beauty. Once in the village of Formicola , Villa Pedra is easily accessible, and it doesn't take too long to understand that you are in a place where those who live and work there do so essentially driven by great passion and dedication, attention to detail, attention and smiles, a truly reassuring welcome. MADDALENA, the landlady bears the signs of hospitality, aided by the classic scent of those who not only cook food in the kitchen, but make the local ingredients the main actors in a combination of tradition and wisdom dictated by time... yes, there are 5 of us friends, and it is clear that we are in the right place. Maddalena, more than presenting the dishes, seems to present relatives, my father did this, he also made the olives and capocollo, try this minestra maritata, small pans that contain the ability to valorise the gifts of breeding and agriculture ,..meat cooked on the grill that forces you to close your eyes and all the senses suddenly become envious of the Taste...excellent everything...a red wine that is an advert for the good life.... I strongly recommend visit this wonderful family... ps... I will do it on a very special date for me and my partner... but that's another story...! Well done.
