HOTEL

Ristorante Hotel La Pinetina

A simple and welcoming spot known for two things: its proximity to the ski slopes and a menu featuring delights from Molise and beyond. With just 80 seats, Ristorante Hotel La Pinetina has a typical mountain atmosphere and, on fine days, also offers outdoor dining. The à la carte menu features dishes made with top-quality ingredients, such as Molise scamorza cheese with focaccia and tagliatelle with wild boar. Also not to be missed is the grilled meat cooked on volcanic stone, or the dairy products from Bojano, a major dairy hub of the area.

Hotel Miletto

Fresh pasta, typical cured meats and truffle in various forms: these are just three of the delicacies to enjoy at the hotel's restaurant, which - apart from sparkling wines - offers only labels from Molise. Recently renovated, it also has a spa and wellness centre where guests can relax after skiing.

MOUNTAIN HUT

La Tana del Lupo

Some people, even while doing sport, want a lavish feast, while others are happy with a small snack before getting back to their activity. La Tana del Lupo (The Wolf's Den) is located right on the slopes and was created to satisfy the second type of customer. The house menu indeed offers quick sandwiches, burgers and beer for those wanting to get straight back to the piste.

Hotel Lo Sciatore

The people behind Hotel Lo Sciatore have been innkeepers for three generations, offering guests rooms, a wellness centre and a thoroughly respectable food offering. In summer and in winter alike. From the menu you can order homemade fresh pasta, select cuts of meat and tasty local cheeses, to pair with one of 70 different labels, to be chosen directly from the cellar.

Baita La Gallinola

Still in this area, there's a restaurant located at 1,600 metres above sea level, reachable in winter only by snowmobile. A tough and evocative journey leads to Baita La Gallinola, whose final destination is traditional cuisine. Here you can enjoy dishes such as large ravioli filled with ricotta and orapi (wild spinach from the Apennines, we told you about it here) with sliced fresh truffle, mixed roast meats from Molise farms and scamorza cheese roasted with fresh truffle.

Rifugio Colle del Caprio

To reach the mountain hut, situated at 1,850 metres above sea level, you need to take the chairlift. The signature dishes at this spot, ideal as a starting point for hikes, are the typical cold cuts and cheese platters and the aperitif to enjoy with a view over the mountains.

RESTAURANT

L'Oasi le pianelle

Halfway between Campitello and San Massimo, this restaurant has a rustic 27-seat setting where you can sample some of the area's specialities. The dining room, warmed by the glow of the fireplace, welcomes guests with simple, genuine cooking and strictly homemade desserts, just like the pasta used for the first courses.

CAFÉ

Cabossa

In Piedimonte Matese they know how to run a café, open from morning until after dinner. At Cabossa, though, you won't find old display-case leftovers, but quality chocolate, ice cream, pastries and coffee. Open for only a few years, it's the right stop for breakfast, an afternoon snack or a bite during the day. Not to mention a great option for bringing sweet treats home.

FARM STAY

Bacco e Bivacco

Marco and Sara, a couple who decided to bet on the Matese and the Alto Casertano area for their guesthouse, Bacco e Bivacco (Bacchus and Bivouac), immersed in greenery. Here a small-scale farm allows very short supply-chain produce to reach the table. Rooms, a restaurant and farm produce, together with the chance to explore the area, even by electric bike, make for a pleasant stay and a great starting point for discovering the whole region.
