Country House Montali - PANICALE

Distressing, because you'll need to go on a severe diet for weeks after staying at this incredible hotel. The sheer inventiveness of the cooking was beyond words I even found myself eating things I normally hate, like banana fritters and aubergines. In fact, the maccheroni alla norma was the best meal of an astonishingly varied week; the best wine was greco di tufo, which was a new one for me (and I normally drink red). We went there the week before giving up smoking. How I'd love to go back now that we can actually taste food.

This was 5 star plantbased food. Every meal was wonderful and delicious. Vegetarian cuisine can be this great (if only everyone knew! . Olive oil, figs and other fruits and herbs are coming from their own garden. The food was truly an experience that made me emotional. You will be welcomed by the lovely host Alberto, who contributed to the wondeful stay at the countryhouse. The property is surrounded by olive trees and you’ll see great views over Italian landscapes. Also the pool is very idyllic and soothing. The rooms are authentic, yet a bit dated. On request they can make lunch (I would highly recommend . With Happycow we found some other places to have lunch, near old beautiful villages that were also nice to visit. If you are looking for a place to relax, enjoy life at the top of a hill and love to eat the best food in the world go to Montali!

Stunning surroundings. be sure to mention you 're vegan in your reservation notes. truly excellent vegetable focused meals don 't expect fake meat and the like. pro tip: avoid using google maps in the area! we ended up in quite a pickle as some of the things that google thinks are 'roads ' in the area are so. not. roads.

We were welcomed by the very kind host Alberto. He and his wife run the hotel and restaurant where we stayed a few nights. We booked one night extra, to be able to enjoy more of the cooking of Malu. It is great and creative cooking here. And that's what is all about: good food!

Great place to stay, relax and enjoy the perfect vegetarian food you have ever tasted. We try to visit Alberto and Malu every year! It is a pleasure to be this close to nature. We are not vegetarians at all, but that doesn’t matter here. After eating here vegetarian food will never be the same. We booked again this summer :
