La Maestà antica dimora di campagna

Where to start? It was amazing! Everything was superlatives! We had pasta course with chef Ledy Silva, who is lovely and cooks incredible. All the staff there is wonderful: so attentive, so kind, so eager to make you feel relaxed and happy. The house is rustic and very well taken care of, with details that blow your mind. The pool is a great asset. The villa itself is perfect for an unforgettable vacation/event. I for one, will never forget the amazing time I had there!

We loved it here! The interior & pool area were both beautiful. We were only here for one night, but wished we could have stayed longer! The breakfast was delicious, and the chef prepared us a vegetarian tasting menu which was one of the best meals we’ve had in Italy. Each dish was so thoughtfully prepared, and paired so well with the wine they produce here too. It was also very reasonably priced. The team were lovely, they helped us out with our luggage & were genuinely very kind people! Thank you

A wonderful & gracious host. A refined experience at a charming country house & agriturismo. We chose an air-conditioned room (Room #8), which had a beautiful view. The pillow was firm, so I asked Sandro for a softer one, which he immediately provided. La Maesta's food is superb. Breakfast is plentiful: torta cakes, biscotti, scrambled eggs, cheese and cold cuts, homemade yogurt, homemade bread, homemade honey and jam, and fruit (apple/pear/kiwi). The cappuccino at breakfast was so good that Hubby drank his, then swooped in and drank mine. So the next morning, I requested 3 cappuccinos so Hubby could have 2 and I could still have one. Was it embarrassing to meet the stereotype of Americans who live life consuming an excess of what any person needs on a daily basis? Yes! But the ladies just laughed & brought us three cappuccinos every day after that. Dinner in the restaurant is tasty. We didn't do half board because most nights, we were out & about. A highlight was the excellent private cooking class by the restaurant's Chef Ledy, with the gracious English translation of Susana. They tailored the menu for me (vegetarian) & Hubby (non-vegetarian). We made gnocchi, tagliatelle & maltagliate; & three delicious sauces. Chef Ledy showed us how to make a decadent egg dish, which we'll likely end up showing off to our American friends (just the dish, not Chef Ledy's secrets on how to make it!) What a wonderful & special experience. We greatly treasure our memories at La Maesta. Indeed, Hubby is now on a quest to make what he calls a "La Maesta Cappuccino". He's trying to convince me that we really do need a new coffee roaster, a new grinder, and an expensive cappuccino machine he found online. He says if we get these, he will wake up early every morning to make La Maesta cappuccinos before he goes to work. So literally, this has been a life-changing experience. It's not often that you stay somewhere that inspires your spouse to change the way he lives his daily life! La Maesta is conveniently located near a main road, but far enough away from traffic that you get a very quiet country experience.
