Special thanks to Sarah Townsend for her kindness and generosity, and for giving The Painted House team unlimited inspiration with her beautiful home, Palazzo Terranova . Winding roads hug the sexy hillsides that rise from the plains to the craggy heights of the land of Piero della Francesca, Michaelangelo, Raffaello and Luca Signorelli. Wine enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the Montefalco, Orvieto, Montepulciano, and Chianti districts. The wines and oils are local, some made by the Townsends themselves. This is truffle country and when in season, funghi porcini are mainstays in the kitchen.
Game is also a local speciality.
Wild boar, pheasant, venison and partridge regularly come to the table. The cooking is in the local tradition, distilled to produce what is simply best. There is no pretension here.
