Country
House
Il Casale del
Baco
Rosora
( Ancona )
“Casale
del Baco” is an ancient farm house dating back to 1800. As the name
suggests it was anciently used for the unravelling of
the silkworm cocoon. The silk production is one of the most ancient
and typical activities in Le Marche.
The
building has been recently restored but has preserved the typical silk mill
shape. It has now been turned into a Country House to better exploit the
origins of the place. The beautiful rural architecture melts with the hilly
landscape.
The
new owners have been careful to keep unchanged the peculiarities of the
landscape and building structure. It has in fact a typical rural style that
perfectly melts with the traditions of the place.
Leonardo
Zucchi, qualified and trained cook, makes dishes in harmony with the place
around. He combines elements of the typical gastronomy of Le Marche with new
culinary trends. The restaurant is devoted to the respect of local
traditions. Some of the delicacies served are: Crescia, hand made egg pasta,
salami and local cheeses such as Fossa cheese.
The
cellar of Casale del Baco is provided with a vast range of regional wines.
There are almost 30 different types of red and white wine. The most refined
ones are the local Verdicchio, Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, il Rosso Conero
and Rosso Piceno.
The
country house can lodge about 15 people in 7 bedrooms. One of them is larger
than the others and it would be perfect for disabled people or to lodge
three people.
Each
room has its own telephone, TV, en suit fridge. An Internet connection is at
hand in the entrance hall.
The
restaurant is sided by a coffee bar. A washing and ironing service is
available on demand. Pets can be introduced in the country house. The
restaurant hall can be rented for meetings.
