Nice room, we appreciated having access to the pool. Very good and varied breakfast. We arrived by bike and the owner let us keep them locked in the building hall.

Ci sono stato in occasione della "cena 1985"; 40 anni di anniversario dalla nostra nascita. Comodo come posizione, facilmente raggiungibile in quanto è proprio sulla strada. Ampio parcheggio per auto o moto che sia. Mangiato molto bene con menù ad hoc per l'occasione fra salumi del luogo abbinati a pasta fritta. A seguire delle tagliatelle al ragù, porzioni abbondanti; lo stesso vale per l'arrosto con le patate. Ampie sale, come si vede dagli scatti; pulito e clima "familiare/alla mano". Posso consigliarlo molto caldamente, soprattutto se si intende organizzare eventi come quello fatto da noi/cene aziendali/cene eleganti/burlesque/feste a tema/Cene con delitto/addio celibato-nubilato/pigiama party/reunion dei Power Ranger's.

Qualità ristorante 10 e lode! Pranzo di Prima Comunione non era “il solito menù” : Ravioli fatti a mano burro e salvia spettacolari, pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale complimenti per aver fatto sentire la carne aromatizzata, ma non pesante in fase digestiva, come secondo la tagliata che dire ? Io sto ancora pensando a quella salsina che l’ha resa gustosa fino all’ultimo boccone… Bravi! Un ristorante che merita
