The Alpini refuge, run by Gino and Barbara, has moved from its historic location at Forca di Presta, at the foot of Mount Vettore, to Pretare, the hamlet of Arquata closest to the high-altitude excursions in the Sibillini Mountains. Gino and Barbara have managed to recreate the atmosphere and warmth of a mountain refuge, offering traditional food based on porcini mushrooms, truffles, and excellent meat, as well as advice and stories from Gino Quattrociocchi, a mountain guide and expert on the many trails to be discovered in the Sibillini Mountains. Among the gems of Barbara’s cuisine are chickpea and chestnut soup, pretaroli ravioli, Sibillini pasta, and the inevitable mixed grill of local meat.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves the mountains or good food!
