Il Fico e l'Ortica

In Montepastore, nestled among the woods of the Bolognese Apennines, Il Fico e l’Ortica welcomes its guests in a historic farmhouse dating back to 1703, which has now been converted into a vegetarian and vegan bed and breakfast and agriturismo. This family-run establishment is the result of a life choice and a conscious return to simplicity, where every daily action holds significance and every encounter becomes an opportunity for exchange and enrichment.

The rooms, located in a separate wing of the farmhouse, tell stories through reclaimed furniture, family heirlooms, and details rich in memory. The warm and authentic spaces blend the charm of the past with modern comforts, including available Wi-Fi and careful attention to the upkeep of the surroundings. Breakfast features cakes, cookies, fresh sourdough bread, and plant-based beverages, and is happy to accommodate guests' dietary needs if notified in advance.

At the heart of the establishment is the kitchen, offered in a restaurant reserved for guests and open only by reservation. Here, meals are shared around a communal table, where stories, smiles, and dishes made from garden and local ingredients are enjoyed, always in harmony with nature's rhythms. The vegetarian and vegan menu changes with the seasons and includes a complete dining experience with an appetizer, first course, second course, side dish, dessert, water, and coffee.

Great care is also given to four-legged friends. Dogs are welcome everywhere except in the kitchen area and can enjoy the freedom of open spaces, roam the fields, and participate in activities organized with qualified dog trainers. The presence of a fenced area and numerous events focused on the canine world make Il Fico e l’Ortica a special place for those traveling with their furry companions.

Amid serenity, genuine connections, and a heartfelt love for nature, staying here means taking the time to listen, observe, and reconnect with what truly matters.
