ArchitectureThe architects particularly focused on sustainability and authenticity. Characteristic features have therefore been preserved: old doors have been extensively restored, the cotto has been revived and the solid oak and robinia roof beams dominate each of the light-flooded rooms. The surrounding nature can also be found inside the refuge through the use of orange-green tones. Guests will find a mixture of rustic style, German-Italian design and modern comfort. Nevertheless, care was taken not only in the materials used, but also in the interior to combine the highest quality with regionality. The kitchen equipment comes from the German quality brand Miele, the granite worktops from Italy.

FoodGuests of the Poggio delle Querce can enjoy the varied cuisine between the Apennines and the Adriatic at any time: mushrooms, truffles, sea and wild animals and a wide variety of vegetables. In-house fruit jelly for breakfast, quince liqueur to round off an extensive dinner or freshly pressed olive oil with bread are also served as regional specialties. As the property does not offer full catering, guests can use the extensive tips collector to find a variety of options for bio-regional purchases and can also cook dishes in the fully equipped kitchens.

SocialThe hostess maintains friendly and approachable dealings with employees at all times. At the same time, the payment is higher than normal and there are small gifts for various occasions. In addition, she supports numerous projects from Oxfam, an international network of various aid and development organizations.

EnvironmentFor reasons of sustainability, there is no pool in the nature park, no fertilizer is used in gardening, and care is taken to protect orchids when mowing, which is only carried out in consultation. Collected rainwater is reused for watering the garden. Guests are asked. Separate garbage. Low-temperature heaters, energy-saving lamps and the avoidance of one-way plastic ensure an environmentally-friendly recreational offer.
