Casa Maria Luigia

"This is really an oasis of peace. We didn't get to enjoy all the grounds had to offer. Included in the price of the hotel is also access to the villa "kitchen" where you can help yourself all day. Be sure to book dinner here. The restaurant is in the old stables and features dishes no longer served in the Osteria Francescana. It is a single sitting and a real experience. I have been to the Osteria as well, but this is so indepth in the experience,, which you don't get eating at the Osteria, The Osteria has a different menu, so we went to both. Since the hotel restaurant was only the tasting menu with the wine pairing. We ate alla carte at the Osteria. The breakfast buffet was also incredible and allow time to savor and enjoy and eat your way through this as well. Both sweet and savory baked onsite. Traditional dishes. They also do a brunch which is open to the public on Sunday. In Summer, it's held early evening as it's so hot. Live music, wood burning ovens and fusion food by the chefs. "
