Locanda Pinocchio

In the picturesque town of Mondolfo, a charming establishment beckons travellers with its unique allure: the Locanda Pinocchio. Drawing inspiration from Italy's beloved tale of the wooden puppet with dreams of becoming a real boy, this inn offers an enchanting blend of whimsy, nostalgia, and genuine Marchigian hospitality. From the outside, Locanda Pinocchio captures the essence of Mondolfo's historical architecture with stone walls and terracotta roof tiles. Still, the playful touch of wooden figures, artful carvings, and puppet-themed décor genuinely sets it apart. Inside, guests are transported to the magical world of Pinocchio. Every room is thoughtfully designed, with elements echoing the story – from painted Blue Fairy and Geppetto murals to carved bedposts reminiscent of the Talking Cricket. Yet, amidst the fantasy, modern comforts are seamlessly integrated, ensuring a restful stay. The dining experience at Locanda Pinocchio is a culinary journey through Marche's rich gastronomic heritage. With a menu that pays tribute to local ingredients and age-old recipes, diners can savour dishes that taste like they've sprung from the pages of an Italian fairy tale. And for the adventurous, there's even a 'Pinocchio's Feast' – a set menu inspired by the puppet's adventures, complete with themed dishes that tell his story from start to finish.
