Meals are prepared mainly with the ingredients of our gardens and with products of local producers to offer maximum freshness and bioavailability.

During the preparation of our meals we aim to go beyond the concept of ‘good’ and ‘typical’: a diet that is tasty but also and above all healthy, making natural, light and balanced recipes.

Good and healthy for us must be synonymous: this is our starting point. Information
