EN: The Grotto Valle restaurant is located on the edge of the forest in the southwest of Caslano. It has a large free-standing pergola that is a few meters away from the house.

The pergola is made of granite posts and wooden cross beams. It is completely overgrown by the branches of one single gnarled tree that stands in the middle of the pergola. This tree is definitely well over a hundred years old. Under the pergola there are stone tables with stone benches that can accommodate around 50 guests.

Obviously, the place is probably not used as often anymore, as the restaurant has another large outdoor seating area that is more modern and closer to the kitchen.

IT: Il ristorante Grotto Valle si trova ai margini del bosco a sud-ovest di Caslano. Dispone di un ampio pergolato autoportante che dista pochi metri dalla casa.

La pergola è composta da pali in granito e travi in legno. È completamente ricoperta dai rami di un unico albero nodoso che si trova al centro del pergolato. Questo albero ha decisamente più di cento anni. Sotto il pergolato ci sono tavoli in pietra con panchine in pietra che possono ospitare circa 50 persone.

Ovviamente il locale probabilmente non viene più utilizzato così spesso, in quanto il ristorante dispone di un altro grande salottino esterno più moderno e più vicino alla cucina.

DE: Das Restaurant Grotto Valle befindet sich am Waldrand im Südwesten von Caslano. Es hat eine grosse Pergola die im Abstand von einigen Metern vor dem Haus steht.

Die Pergola besteht aus Granitpfosten und Querbalken aus Holz. Sie ist vollständig überwachsen von den Ästen eines einizigen knorrigen Baums, der in der Mitte der Pergola steht. Dieser Baum ist bestimmt weit über hundert Jahre alt. Unter der Pergola befinden sich Steintische mit Steinbänken, die etwa 50 Gästen Platz bieten.

Offenbar wird der Ort aber wohl nicht mehr so häufig benutzt, da das Restaurant noch über einen weiteren Aussenbereich verfügt, der moderner und näher an der Küche ist.
