Ancient Grape Dryer in Valpolicella
About
Cà Dei Merli is an ancient dryer for the Amarone della Vapolicella grapes finely renovated in 2014, immersed in the tranquility of the valley, the junction point between the city of Verona, Lake Garda and Lessinia. Located behind Fumane at the foot of Monte Rivoli under the spectacular and suggestive Sanctuary of the Madonna de la Salette which is a fantastic panoramic balcony over the vineyards of Valpolicella, it is the ideal place to recover energy. Its particular position makes it suitable for both relaxing holidays and cultural tourism, thanks to the convenience with which you can reach the main tourist destinations in the Veneto region, such as Verona, Lake Garda, Venice, Treviso and Trentino. For lovers of walking and cycling there are paths surrounded by greenery. For lovers of good food and good wine there are numerous food and wine tours with wine tastings; the owners in love with their territory offer themselves to suggest tasting itineraries. The house consists of a main area where the owners reside and an independent area reserved for guests. The old drying room has two rooms with four places each, one with a double bed and a bunk bed; the other instead with two double beds. There is also a kitchen equipped with oven, fridge, dishwasher and a wood stove to cook in the typical way of this area. The rooms have air conditioning, TV, are equipped with independent heating and free internet. The apartment has a laundry room with washing machine and a 400l DHW storage tank to guarantee a constant flow of hot water. At the entrance there is a comfortable and graceful sitting area for reading, working or writing. It is possible to have numerous outdoor parking spaces available, inside the property, which can be accessed through a motorized gate. The property also has an outdoor park with a 7.5X3.5 above-ground swimming pool and is equipped with a sun lounger and barbecue, umbrella, table and chairs for dining. The town of Fumane is located a few kilometers from one of the best hospitals in the province of Verona, the Negrar hospital, reachable in 20 minutes. Leisure activities: in the area there are two riding stables, different paths and paths for mountain biking or for lovers of walking. In the village there are several restaurants and agritourisms. For those who love good wine since we are in the center of historic Valpolicella there are a hundred wineries that offer tastings and guided tours. Places to visit: Verona can be reached in 25 minutes as well as Lake Garda and its theme parks such as Gardaland and Caneva World, in 20 minutes you can also reach the Pastrengo zoo safari and in 10 minutes by road you can spend an afternoon to relax at Terme Aquardens, which are the largest in Europe. In about twenty minutes you can reach the Verona airport. For mountain lovers in an hour and a half you can be in the Dolomites. 10 minutes from the property, there are also the famous Molina Waterfalls which attract more than 80,000 tourists every year. The peculiarity of this area is the abundance of water, thanks to the existence of perennial springs located north of the town of Molina. In addition to the sparkling waterfalls, the park also offers visitors a landscape marked by woods and meadows, frequently interrupted by streams and rivers that combine the sweetness of the greenery, in the infinite variety of vegetation, with the gray of the rocky spurs. A synthesis of the low mountain landscape can be found in the Park, where paths and itineraries offer the visitor now the serene solemnity of a cascade of sparkling water, now the expanse of multicolored flowers between a forest and a cliff, now the ravine inhabited by a swirling stream. In addition, the Tibetan Bridge, a classic engineering work suspended with ropes between opposite sides, is also beautiful to see. It is the first construction of its kind in Veneto and also among the rarities in our country, and connects the trail system of Marano di Valpolicella with that of Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo. Then we also find the Fumane Caves nearby, which testify to the uninterrupted presence of the Neandertal Man and then of the **** sapiens sapiens from about 80 thousand to 25 thousand years ago. Finally, but no less interesting, the Veja Bridge, probably frequented since well before the last ice age by a colony of skilled workers of flint artifacts, arrows, tips, needles, leaves us amazed that those prehistoric men (perhaps Neanderthal) traded their precious material for half of Europe, up to the Baltic Sea in present-day Poland, via the Amber route, or to the French end.
