Our 17th century stone villa with film-set worthy views across the undulating Umbrian hills, and nestled amid hillside olive groves, Casa di Led offered us cosy splendour in this timeless property where one of the culinary stars of the show was the traditional wood-fired outdoor pizza oven. Complete with a set of vintage hand forged pizza tools, custom crafted olive wood pizza peel, and a generous pile of wood on the property, the fire was easily coaxed in the pizza oven in anticipation of Guy's homemade Margherita Pizza garnished with fresh basil from the garden. Together with a cold beer enjoyed on the outdoor lounge, my husband's Pizza Margherita was simply divine.
Essential ingredients for the pizza including local Mozzarella di Bufala,
passata and olio extravergine di oliva dell'Umbria

The Margherita Pizza is prepared using a layer of passata, sliced local tomatoes,
Mozzarella di Bufala and anchovies
The pizza goes into the hot oven for only two minutes
the pizza looks pretty darn fabulous
The Margherita is cut into smaller slices for serving
