November 2016 ITALIA! 53
Agriturismo Ramuse
Sign the blackboard if you’re staying for dinner – and why wouldn’t you when the menu is so tantalising?
Everything here is produced locally or on the farm (including Mama’s plum jam); Paolo’s enthusiasm for his venture
is intoxicating. He once used to nip between Italy and London with a precious cargo of truffles for top chefs. Since
then he’s been busy restoring his grandparents’ old farm and creating this rustic haven. Find traditional interiors,
stepped vine-clad terraces, nesting boxes for birds and a beautiful oval pool. Bedrooms are warm and cosy with
beamed ceilings, beds are in keeping with the country style and there’s rosy brick flooring throughout. Imagine
a day spent lolling by the pool or in a hammock by the stream as the children make friends with the donkeys,
rabbits, hens – and two truffle-hunting hounds! Mushrooms from the garden, truffles from the hills, homemade
tagliatelle, biscotti and sweet wine... Such bounty is served at long rustic tables under the vine-covered terrace or
by the wood fire. If you can tear yourself away, the Sibillini mountains and the Adriatic are close. Slow heaven.
