Podere La Torre

The setting is beautiful, with lovely scenery and nice walks, and you can either relax by the two pools or head into nearby cities by car. I spent four days there and felt comfortable the whole time. The rooms are cozy, the pools and surroundings are amazing, and dinner was fantastic and reasonably priced. Service was lovely as well. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast, with pancakes, croissants, prosciutto and lots more. I’d definitely recommend this accommodation.

The park and pools make this a relaxing place to stay, and it also has a stylish lounge bar and a hotel alongside the restaurant. At the restaurant, the staff were attentive and professional, and the wine list paired nicely with the meal. The menu mixes locally inspired food with more adventurous ideas, so there’s something for both traditional tastes and people looking for new flavors. The chefs pay close attention to the dishes, though of course tastes vary. It’s a lovely setting for dining, with a sense of style throughout.

The room was spotless, spacious and quiet, and the breakfast buffet was impressive with perfect coffee. There’s plenty of secure parking across the well-kept grounds, and the huge bar is tastefully decorated. The main receptionist was very friendly, but another waitress came across as cold and aloof. One older male staff member also reacted very strongly and negatively when I simply asked for two extra pillows.

We had our daughter’s christening meal at the restaurant. There’s lots of room for children to play, and the Venetian food was delicious. Everyone was very kind, and it’s a beautiful place. I recommend it.
