Recipes From Cancello Est

We hope you think of this blog as we do, joining us at the table, to sit, talk, cook, and enjoy. A meal that never ends.

Cancello Est is is a south facing property on the very edge of the village of Gualdo. It has breathtaking views of the Sibilini Mountains and on a clear day you can see as far as the Adriatic Coast.

The property was built in 1632 and contains what is left of the original village wall. The one side of the property was built as part of the Sun Gate of the Medieval Village of Gulado - The Sun Gate remains is at the side of the house faces east towards the sea.

The property has been beautifully renovated and converted into an upmarket Boutique Hotel and Cooking School. A perfect destination for groups of friends from the UK and the rest of Europe.

From waking up to your own private ceiling fresco, wafts of the purest, sweetest mountain air, country views bathed in soft, golden light and then the fragrance of bread just out of the oven, it just gets better.

Breakfast of local produce, perfectly roasted coffee and then the day is yours. Walk in the fields, tan at the pool, visit the local towns and villages for the best in truffles, charcuterie, cheeses, seafood and wines.

Shop for designer clothes, knitwear, bags, shoes and perfumes. Highly addictive. Bring all your appetites.
