The popular bar in Montefegatesi closed a while ago. This situation is never good for a village. Without a place to gather for a coffee and a chat the heart of a village can die.
The residents took matters into their own hands and opened one themselves.
It is just off the square near the entrance to Montefegatesi. Look for the sign in green…Circolo with an arrow.
It is opposite the pretty church and off to the right.
There is a terrace with a spectacular view.
Just in case you are looking for a bit of real estate in the village I spotted this great looking building near the bar.
The bar is closed Monday afternoons. Unfortunately that is the time I chose to visit so I can’t show you inside.
On specific evenings, mostly weekend, the bar serves the most fantastic pizzas. I can also vouch for the quality of the coffee, and the yumminess of the pastries.
That’s great to hear.
Well done, indeed!
It is important for the villages to keep a bar or shop.
Not only is a bar the gathering place for villagers, it also attracts the odd tourist to stop and buy a coffee, pastries etc. adding to their profits. Nice to hear that they also do pizza some evenings.
The bar is open since july 2018 just a week after we left. We visit the bar than this year where we had a cappuccino on the terras with a beautil vieuw.
It is a good addition to Montefegatesi.
Long live the strong by Roland Sarti tells the story of Montefegatesi. You can borrow the book at the library in Bagni di Lucca
