La Costa Restaurant in the heart of the Italian Lombardia region - Agriturismo at its best
Agritourism in Italy tends to focus on farm stays, most often tied to restaurants or reception spaces housed in converted barns. La Costa, a DOC wine producer located in Perego, which sits in the centre of the picturesque and mountainous triangle between Lake Como to the north, Milan to the south-west and Bergamo to the south east is a wonderful example of an “agriturismo”, offering lovely wines, simple yet elegant food, in beautiful surroundings.
I didn’t stay long enough to enjoy one of their rooms for an overnight stay - which is a shame as the views of the surrounding hills and countryside are magnificent, and Como is just a short drive away. Who needs Tuscany?
