Ristorante Locanda Mulino Nera in Montefranco.
Perched along the Valnerina valley in Umbria, this hotel restaurant commands sweeping views of forested hillsides and the Nera River gorge below.
Stone architecture and terraced grounds anchor the property within dramatic limestone terrain, offering both intimate dining spaces and expansive outdoor areas.
The setting sits at 350 meters elevation, providing cool mountain air and natural light that shifts across the valley throughout the day.
We've dined here several times, and it's always a great experience. The staff treat us like dear friends, and the food is creative and memorable. The location and grounds are gorgeous. They really know what they're doing. Can't recommend the place enough!
