ROSE VILLA NONNA, SIDE DRIVING GREEN PEPPE
Everyone knows the chef Peppe Guide as patron of the starry Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa, as the face of the Pastificio dei Campi and, lately, Also starring in Gambero Rosso Channel with the format This land is my land.
The set of the television show is the country estate that the chef has bought six years ago in the hills of Vico Equense: Villa Rosa Nonna Rosa.
Until last June, the estate held solely the dual function of the supply location for the kitchens of the Osteria and the young pastry laboratory and talented scion Francesco Guida, author of sensational leavened.
In conjunction with the summer closing dell'Osteria, occurred precisely in June, Villa Rosa has opened its doors to the public, becoming active as a restaurant and B&B.
At the end of August, we three (Days, Max e Lilli) we decided to spend a night at the Villa to recharge your energy and clear your mind. Beh, our experience was really amazing, now exceed all expectations!
Getting to the hotel may not seem easy, especially to less accustomed to the Sorrento Peninsula; but the apparent difficulties will be amply rewarded, also from the pleasure of conquest!
THE VILLE
The house that includes three guest rooms offers every comfort. All rooms are new and immaculate in every detail. But the real plus is the view! Their balconies offer great views of the Gulf dominated by Vesuvius, with the green around a frame. An absolute delight.
On the lower level there is a large terrace with wooden tables, where dinner and breakfast are served.
For here we do not make the lunch service, because the sun is pounding right in that time slot.
Lilli immediately made friends with the two pelosoni home, the country Ciruzzo and "citizen" Timothy, sharing their food and raids.
To us it took very little to settle. A ride in the garden of pumpkins, pomodori, eggplant and peppers, chat with Lella and Rossella Guide (respectively wife and daughter of the chef, as well as an active part in the management of the structure), a good cup of tea (sì, because here the teinomani receive proper attention, with a selection of mixtures to embarrass even the most hardened fans! It does not even miss matcha!) and in the blink of an eye it has fallen on the evening.
It is true that when you feel good time flies.
LA CENA
Dinner, as breakfast, is open to both residents that the external.
Forget paper of dishes and set menus: here calling the shots is the nature. What you will come to the table depends on the crop and by the inspiration of the chef supported by his second Florin.
Thus there may happen the gattò potato or aubergine, The soup of beans or figs with homemade capicollo.
Peppe Guida would arrive slowly to propose garden products only; when there is some concession to dell'aia ingredients (such as rabbit) or sea, strictly local.
Phenomenal also the mountain (a fried cloud!), the rustic pizza, the kumquat with spring onion, bacon and provolone.
Among the first proposed, the iconic Spaghettino lemon water, oil and provolone del monaco garnished with lemon leaves flour.
A succession of courses one better than the, to the joyous finale with the inevitable zeppoline and a compound tart in its four ingredients: pasta frolla, crema pasticcera, sour cherries and figs.
Remarkably, the entire meal is accompanied by a delicious house wine with peaches: when the country is also very good!
THE BREAKFAST
In the morning the rimpinzamento continued. The home is Pharaonic Breakfast Guide!
Bring salted (egg omelette, pizza, pomodori, provola, ricotta…) and sweet (biscotti, cakes and pies, homemade jams, frutta fresca e secca, even the cake Francesco!) for a superb table, with the sea in front of his eyes gladden.
While we were enjoying the gargantuan breakfast, Nonna Rosa (Chef Mom) He tinkered with tomatoes, who by his holy hands would become soon sublime preserves.
Leave Villa Rosa was difficult.
The sweet welcome for human and furry, an exquisite view, the beauty of the structure, the sense of stillness, fantastic food make the stay at Villa Rosa rejuvenating experience, which offers incredible serenity.
A place to rediscover the slow pace.
A relief for the spirit.
