An outstanding experience for our family while here. My four year old loved the dog, Gina. We found many truffles and had a magical, memorable meal in the forest that was very generous. We will forever remember this when we are offered truffles on a restaurant dish. Highly recommend this experience!

Don’t want to leave a review as I don’t want this good experience to become too popular 🤣🤣 but it definitely deserves one, so here it is. My only advice is to bring long trekking pants! Everything was perfect, cannot fault. Maya and Gina (the dogs), were amazing too. Definitely worthwhile :)
