Do you remember the movie from early 80ies with Sophie Marceau and Pierre Cosso called “The Party”?
In Italy the title of the movie was “Il tempo delle mele” (Apples’ time) and as soon as I reached this Agritur in Samoclevo – Caldes, in the Non Valley in Trentino region I started thinking to that super famouns song: Reality.
Well, this was just a young age memory; here the apples have a real connection with territory and people: Val di Non is one of the larger producer of apple in Italy and Agritur Tempo delle Mele, a welcoming family-run farm where you can stay both in summer and during the winter ones, literally lies among apple trees.
The rooms are all furnished with simple elegance and the materials used make the tourist feel in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Each of the room is not only identified by the number but also by a specific name.
On the second floor there are those devoted to the seasons, while the third floor rooms have names that evoke myths and legends.
The food that can be enjoyed in the charming restaurant directly overlooking the garden evoke the local traditions and allow you to discover original combinations that highlight the best flavor of each ingredient.
We were lucky enough to find ourselves in Val di Sole during the days of the Casolet (a local and well known cheese) fair that took place in Male.
Thanks to this event, most of the dishes we enjoyed at Il tempo delle Mele had this cheese as the main ingredient.
One of the benefit of being guest at Agritur, is the indoor spa that you cannot miss. Sauna, turkish bath and massage are the best way to relax and regenerate body and mind, with great views of the orchards, the apple trees surrounding the house and the Trentino mountains.
I really love the decor! The only thing that's better is the setting — what a beautiful location! I might have to copy the headboard in your featured image.
there is no feeling like seeing in front of your eyes, something you remember from being a little kid! Super surreal feeling. those apples look good enough to bite into! thanks for sharing 🙂
Your post just made me nostalgic. As a child, I recall visiting my grandparent's house, which had a great view, similar to your pics and had plantations of all the fruit's trees… It is a wonderful feeling to somehow relive your childhood memories for a moment in our current stage and life:)
Your post just made me nostalgic. I remember as a kid, when I used to visit my grandparent's place, they had somewhat similar view as in your pics and had plantation of all the fruit's trees… It's really wonderful to get to live a few moments from our childhood memories, in our current lives 🙂
I would go just for the cheese festival. Quite neat that the restaurant incorporated that into their own menu.
It looks so beautiful and peaceful here. The inside is lovely and the outside so stunningly beautiful. Orchards, apple trees and a spa! Just what I would need right now for rest and relaxation.
The Trentino Mountains, what a view!!! I'd use the spa to death if I stayed there 🙂
This was such an interesting piece! I love the bed with the wood pieces making the headboard! The food looks absolutely divine. I got hungry just looking at it. The scenery and views look exemplary. Will consider this for a future trip!
Such a beautiful spot! I love the smell of apple trees..! The surroundings look relaxing and so pretty. The Agritur is amazing.
I've honestly never heard of that movie. I'm intrigued by dining overlooking a garden – would be a fabulous view
The food looks amazing anything with cheese and I love it. The indoor spa sounds amazing and a perfect way to unwind.
You won my heart at indoors spa! Is there an additional fee? It sounds like the view totally adds to the relaxing vibe the spa provides. Definitely adding this to my bucket list
there are a lot of apples. whether it be directly picked and eaten? Sure it feels very fresh. I like a place to stay that there are plantations in the vicinity. Would be a more pleasant if we are allowed picking apples.
Loved the interiors and especially that lamp. Lovely pictures. Definitely seems like a lovely place to spend a weekend in.
The fact that the bedhead is also made from tree trunks just adds a lovely touch to it. The food looks glorious and it would only be right to pair such beautiful apples with the best cheese!
The interiors done tastefully. I liked the headboard of the bed.
The views are superb, I can sit with a cup of tea and gaze out the whole day.
I like little hotels that put their personal touch and offer their guests an unforgetable experience. The indoor spa is so beautiful and I love the bath tub in the room, next to the bed.
Oh, I would love to spend a week here enjoying the cheese-laden foods and apple orchards. No need to even venture out 😀
I agree with Indrani, and also the outdoor plants are also relaxing. I couldn't help by admire that headboard in your room. Is that made of real chopped wood?
