For such a well visited country Italy sure does have some hidden gems.
Take the Locanda del Feudo, for instance, a real place of discovery which values tradition, charm, fine cuisine and wine above all else.
Above all else is actually an apt word, for as you reach Castelvetro, an ancient Etruscan Village, you can’t miss the Locanda del Feudo, an old elevated fortress occupying a splendid position within the city walls of the town. If its old world refinement you want this is the place, as history and fine architecture (Castelvetro is a delight) abound here
Yet there are also plenty of modern comforts to be had at the Locanda - six flawlessly decorated suites with high speed Internet connection, satellite TV and a host of other little up to date goodies, so old world need not mean no worldly goods.
Then, of course, there’s the restaurant and wine cellar which serves up wonderful regional dishes. So simply take in the beauty of the whole area, enjoy a lambrusco with a fine meal and soak in the atmosphere of the Locanda del Feudo and Castelvetro.
