Wind your way up the mountains to a remote farming hamlet grazed by sheep, and forests stuffed with truffles. Pettino has been in Francesca’s family since 1486.
Enjoying food is what this place is about: catching, picking, hunting and eating it. Game like you’ve never tasted, olive oil, pecorino, porcini, and, at breakfast, sweet fresh bakes. After hunting truffles with Mac and a dozen hounds, you watch Francesca making pasta as the cousins slice prosciutto and grill bruschetta. Whatever you do here, you feel included. It’s a family paradise, and under 16s are free.
The suites (just two) combine rusticity with luxury and masses of space. Revel in double showers, private jacuzzis, and a complimentary stock of local wines. There are daybeds for kids, mezzanines for parents, sunsets for terraces, and logs for fires.
A most unique stay is guaranteed, a real learning experience if you simply let go and let Francesca and Mac along with their team of relatives lead the way as they share their way of life with traditions so strong that they have lasted for 500 years. Between truffle hunts and sheep grazing walks, look forward to returning to your cosy suite for some very sweet dreams in this special retreat.
