Villa Feltrinelli

If it’s true that looks matter, Villa Feltrinelli will fully satisfy this aspect with the romantic splendour of its elegant rooms and the moving view of Lake Garda by night. But emotions have only began, and gourmands know this well. There’s no doubt about the talent and the skills of chef Stefano Baiocco. Trust him and his free hand menu: tutto pomodoro, with 51 different cultivars of tomato, is a triumph of colours and sweet and sour notes that have that extra oomph in the Granita di panzanella. Roasted cucumber, oyster and kiwi juice? If you ate this with your eyes closed, you’d say these were the best grilled aubergines you had ever tasted.
