A 16th-century former monastery in the Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo, transformed by a bold and at the same time understated restoration. Materials that capture the eye, refined decor, all surrounded by the spectacle of nature. The estate covers 6 hectares, at an altitude of 860 meters, and includes an experimental vineyard, a grove of fruit trees and a garden of aromatic and wild herbs. This is the home of the restaurant Reale***, 9 charming guest rooms, and the culinary academy “Niko Romito Formazione”.
A dialogue between nature and structure, between the warmth of old materials and the austerity of the modern. The continuity between the perimeter walls, built predominantly from Majella stone, and the interior walls, white on absolute white. Light becomes the protagonist, penetrating the glass, sculpting the deep-set window openings and perspectival dislocations among the various levels of the monastery.
These are the principles of the renovation project by Leonardo De Carlo, of Pescara, in collaboration with Niko Romito. The language of the rooms echoes the exciting simplicity that characterizes the chef's dishes. The walls are made of slaked lime, wax finished and worked with a spatula and woolen cloth: the result is an irregular texture that both absorbs and refracts the light. The floors are ancient flagstones and reclaimed cement tiles, the ceilings are simple wood planks polished by hand. Distributed among the spaces are antique credenzas and hand-wrought iron furniture, whose austere lines contribute to the harmony of the whole.
