Valentina, the chef, prepares to order regional and international meals made from fresh produce from the lodge’s own kitchen garden as well as featuring local, fresh fruits, fish, meats, fowl, and game. Guests report that that lunching on the garden terrace in the fresh country air and having candlelight dinners with Sterling silver service and beautiful linens is a rare treat, not found in the usual rental experience. A full English-style breakfast is included in the tariff.

Centrally located to view many of the must-see cultural and historical monuments and sights, religious shrines, castles, monasteries and Roman ruins.
