Eat & sleep in the Appenines
MTW hikers undertaking The Salt Roads to the Riviera itinerary stay a night in the tranquil setting of Foresteria La Merlina. Foresterie are a simpler style of accommodation, usually in historic or particularly beautiful settings.
La Merlina boasts a lovely pool with beautiful views, and an excellent restaurant. Having been winemakers themselves, owners Luciana and Marco place a strong emphasis on their wine list, with an important selection of local Timorasso.
Other products are local, with their own, home-made salame and cured meats, honey from their wildflower meadows, and cheeses which include the prestigious but tiny local Montebore DOP.
