As chefs who love guests, we were drawn back to Fabrizio's
birthplace here in Serre Marchetto to create an intimate inn
where guests are able to relax and enjoy a sense of home away
from home. Where we are able to offer you our knowledge of the
area and point you in the direction of your interests. We do not
want you to miss anything. Our commitment to personalized
service, environmentally friendly practices, partnership with
local businesses and artisans, offers you an opportunity to be
indulged while supporting sustainable tourism.
Fabrizio worked in his family's popular restaurant,
"La Baita" (small mountain house) that they built before he
was born and before there was a road or electricity. He took a
cooking diploma as a student and went on to take degrees as
Maitre d'Hotel, and Food and Restaurant Manager, working in
all aspects of the hotel and restaurant business, locally and
through out Italy. Desiring to improve his English, he left for
London and worked for several top establishments, in Wimbledon
at San Lorenzo and The Goring in London for several years before
returning to Italy. He was working as Maitre d'Hotel in a small
hill town in Tuscany, when he met Marla, an American,
working as a chef for an English art school.
Marla worked her way through University for a horticulture
degree, while baking for a local coffee shop and catering for a
vegetarian, natural foods collective, before deciding to move to
the Colorado mountains. Working in a small busy café, and
historic European styled hotel before going on to be the Pastry
chef at Copper Mt resort for many years. An opportunity to work
for Thomson Holidays, an English tour operator, first in
Breckenridge in their chalets and then on to Slovenia and
Austria as a ski and walking guide, set things in motion to work
in Italy and meet Fabrizio and settle here in Val Chsione's Serre
Marchetto.
