It should be sometime soon when they close the dam again. As we have a very good view from here, then I will let you all know.
P.S. It appears from what we have heard that they will be culling some of the deer in the park, as there are too many for its area. I saw 14 a couple of days ago on the evening walk with the dog, so will keep counting. Best time to see them, if anyone is interested is early evening, when they are all down close to the road.

I have to say the restaurants that are our favourites from the old 2007 copy of La Vita [its has more in than subsequent copies] are very Italian and only a couple of times have we heard an English voice amongst the customers, and the food has been truely excellent.

Perhaps I have been soured by the one bad experience Jan, and it was bad, but pleased to say one of our all time favourites is not in the guide!

If I recall..........the dam is 're-filled' somewhere around May/June, it is emptied during the winter for 'technical reasons'.....

Personally I think it is at it's best when full, viewed bothe from the restaurants or from the surrounding hills.............

Another good restaurant, that may be worth trying on the Fermo - Amandola road. It's is at Magliano di Tenna and called Il Veliero. It is on the ground floor of the shopping precinct, just after the newish roundabout coming from Servigliano direction. Tel 0734 631937. If anyone needs better directions then PM me
We have eaten there a few times now and food and prices are very good.
Today for 3 of us, seafood antipasti, grilled sole, mixed seafood grill (monkfish, langoustine, sole& prawn ) pork steak (2 pieces) Milanese, patate forno x 2, green salad. Wine, water, coffee and liquers. Total Euro 54.00.
The place was very busy lunchtime, as it appears lots of workers go in, but that is a recommendation in itself.

Default Lago San Ruffino

Lago San Ruffino is now being refilled, think it started late yesterday. Also it appears that the English library at the Osteria has now been re- opened as well.
