About 1km north of Sarnano on the SP78, this hotel-restaurant is ideal for a break from the road. Join the locals who regularly stop by to greet convivial manager, Max, and fill up on fantastically generous helpings of country food. Perhaps start with a selection of local cheese before moving onto a bowl of wild boar slow-cooked in rich red wine.
