restaurants in the world
Casadonna is a 16th century former monastery in Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo, brought back to life after a courageous restoration focused on maintaining its historical character and transitioning into a contemporary one.
The design details are white stones, raw concretes, design and photographic art at the walls, modern antiques, iron, wood and natural materials. Those features characterize the reception area, Reale Restaurant and Casadonna.
Inside the monastery ancient spaces, Cristiana and Niko Romito created a restaurant and 10 guest rooms. The color permeating the whole building is white and it alternates with the purest colors of the works of art by Ettore Spalletti, with the conceptual art by Joseph Kosuth, with the photographs of Mario Giacomelli and with the colorful piece of furniture.
An experimental vineyard surrounds Casadonna, it is mainly growing Pecorino grapes – a local variety- with a few rows of Riesling and black Pinot grapes. It is undoubtedly a heroic vineyard grown at 860 metres above sea level. It produces a sharp mountain Pecorino wine, the Casadonna wine. Riesling and black Pinot grapes are still being experimented to study their ability to adapt to local territory.
Six hectares of land belonging to the estate comprise the vineyards and the surrounding woods, home for 10 species of bees producing a precious mountain honey, which is the greatest expression of purity of Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo territory.
Casadonna houses Accademia Niko Romito, the vocational Academy that follows the Chef’s culinary credo.
