Embrace the Italian philosophy of life and consciously perceive and enjoy the simple things in life. Do you remember how to do that? Start the day relaxed with a delicious cappuccino and a cornetto. Surrender to time. Let your mind wander. Do whatever you feel like doing. Give space to the important things in life. Relax and enjoy the moment to the full.

Our estate is located just outside Roccamandolfi, a small, picturesque mountain village with just under 900 inhabitants. Here, at just under 800 meters above sea level, nestled on the northern slope of the Matese massif, a mountain range in the southern Apennines, at the foot of Monte Miletto, which at 2,050 meters is probably the highest mountain in Molise, we have found our own personal paradise.

The enchanting surroundings and tranquillity have long since captured our hearts. Roccamandolfi has become a secret excursion tip for Italians in the surrounding regions. You can still sense the medieval past everywhere. Paved paths and steps inside the village, the circular stone units of measurement, the fountain where women used to wash their clothes (and still do to this day) or the walls of the castle. Roccamandolfi also has plenty to offer sports enthusiasts and hikers. With a municipal area of almost 54 square kilometers, Roccamandolfi is one of the largest municipalities in the region in terms of area. Here you can go canyoning and cross-country skiing, hiking, horse riding and much more. Many of the town's inhabitants still make a living from livestock farming and agriculture.

When you stay with us, you will be accommodated in our guest house in a double room with a separate spacious bathroom/WC for single use.

The small, pretty accommodation also has a cozy sitting area with a coffee bar and a spacious outdoor area where you can lie in the sun with a book or simply indulge in sweet idleness in your deck chair and enjoy the wonderful natural surroundings.

This trip is entirely dedicated to the motto "indulgence".
Pasta workshop to then enjoy homemade pasta with a wonderful tomato sauce.
Cooking together with products from the region.
Tasting full-bodied wine from the Molise region.
After the truffle hunt, there will be a tasting of products from the local manufactory.
And much more.....

Because there are already enough compulsory programs in life, it is important to us that you are the focus here and above all spend a relaxed and fulfilling time that is good for you. We are always open to special requests. Whether in terms of travel options, length of stay or payment methods, if you have other ideas, then let us know - we don't want your dream break with us to fail.
