The garden terrace opens like a balcony suspended over the panorama, where on clear days lunch begins caressed by light and the fragrance of fresh air. Inside, amid stuccoes that resemble velvet, mirrors multiplying reflections, cool marbles, and frescoes that tell stories, the cuisine of Marco Galtarossa comes to life, the fruit of a creative dialog with Italy’s most decorat
