The holiday farm Ca' Maddalena is located on one the nice hills, at about 450m on the sea level, which characterize the beautiful countryside between the Adriatic coast and the Appennines chain of central Italy.
Our little restaurant is now on the ground floor of a typical
rural house, dating back to the end of the XVII century and was entirely restored following the rules of eco-architecture.
Tradition and genuineness characterize the
dishes that we are glad to serve to our guests.
Our homemade charcuterie has the taste of the ancient times, because we breed pigs like people did in the past times in our
countryside and the fresh homemade pasta enhances the ingredients that nature brings us: the
vegetables from our garden,
mushrooms and
truffles in autumn.
We also serve excellent
pork or beef meat, mostly cooked on the grill.
In our farm, we actually raise cattle of the
"Marchigiana" breed, one of the most appreciated breeds for its meat, and pigs which are the result of crossings with the "cinta senese" breed.
Our animals are all reared in a half-wild state on the fields that surround the houses, together with dogs, cats and horses which are a joy for our younger guests.
The northern part of
Marches, called ?Montefeltro?, is an interesting territory for its history and the beauty of its countryside.
Urbino, one of the most important Renaissance towns in Italy and painter
Raphael Sanzio?s native town, is about 12 km far from the farm. Inside its wonderful Ducal Palace takes place the National Gallery of Marches, where interesting paintings of Piero della Francesca and Raffaello are on display.
In one hour by car you can reach fascinating little castles and fortresses, like San Leo, Gradara, Gubbio, scattered on the territory that was dominated by Duke Federico da Montefeltro in the XVI century.
We also suggest you to reach the ?Gola del Furlo? (15km far) , a natural canyon through which the river Candigliano flows and the ancient roman road ?Via Flaminia? connected Rome to Fano on the Adriatic coast.
Alloggi
In the ancient house?s outbuilding, we decided to build the seven rooms for the guests (total 23 beds), according to the rules of eco-architecture.
A big beautiful
garden surrounds the two houses (restaurant and rooms) where you can relax while looking at the amazing panorama on the Appennines.
All
rooms have a double bed and some of them can be 3-, 4- and 5-bed-rooms.
Each room has a bathroom, an independent heating system (floor heating) and the entrance door goes directly on the garden from where you see a wonderful view on the mountains that separate the region Marches from Umbria and Tuscany.
