Along the road which climbs up into the Casentino area, inside the village of Subbiano, there is an fine old courtyard "with food and accommodation". Here, time seems to have magically stopped in the fabulous 1950's and, together with the beauty of the natural environment, of Tuscan countryside's typical medieval villages, rows of vines, olive trees and cypresses, it is possible to taste the flavours of ancient dishes which still live on today, as well as having the chance to stay in beautiful rooms furnished in rustic or elegant style. All this is La Corte dell'Oca.
In this little corner of Tuscany, Franco Donati has skilfully managed to create a voyage back in time. The food and the wines are exclusively Tuscan, in full respect of the traditions of the area. A good glass served on the marble top of the bar at the entrance of the Inn; the crostino toasted bread canapé with the vinsanto dessert wine, the hen's broth, the boiled hen served with a sauce, the typical pappa bread soup, the toasted slices of bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with oil for the fettunta. As well as the pappardelle pasta dressed with wild hare sauce, the steaks and many other such delicacies.
The rooms, rustic as well as elegant, are furnished with "wood to be trodden on and to be heard" and with "chestnut wood beams and tiles". In the gardens, beneath the pergola, next to the wood burning oven or close to the well and the fountain where "the water is drawn", one may eat a simple snack or a complete meal, but what counts is to be able to live the moments of times past in a peaceful oasis and where you have the chance to find yourself again.
Due to its special location, the guests of La Corte dell'Oca are also able to experience the Tuscany of the cities of Art, its history and its great personages, finding here a reference point for getting to know the Tuscan countryside and sincere hospitality.
