18/07/2025: Maybe the buffet room is small.... The smartest ones sit in front of the buffet table and the others make do.

27/07/2025: Sustainable elegance on the lakeside: contemporary seafood cuisine, impeccable service Just behind the lakefront, at Via Fausto Valsecchi 5 in Lecco, Porticciolo Restaurant presents itself as a refined address that combines contemporary seafood cuisine with an elegant and sustainable atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the local area in a modern and welcoming setting. The atmosphere is one of refined quality: the restaurant is located in a charming corner near the lake, with refined and bright spaces, where every piece of furniture reflects a minimal yet warm aesthetic. The gastronomic offering, led by chef Lorenzo Ferrari (assisted by Giorgio), is surprising: a menu that celebrates seafood with well-balanced dishes, original combinations, and top-quality ingredients. From appetizers like king crab soup or grouper millefeuille, to sophisticated first courses like sea urchin risotto or red mullet ravioli with cacciucco, to impeccable second courses like tuna tataki or salt-crusted sea bass. The menu also offers structured tastings, such as the "Chef's 5-Course Menu" or the innovative "9-Course Menu – 6 Reversed," designed for those seeking an original and refined gastronomic journey.

24/07/2025: We arrived at this delightful restaurant by chance from Treviso and were welcomed by the young and highly competent staff. The ambiance is meticulously maintained, with dining options available in the garden or in an elegant and refined interior dining room that showcases the stone walls. The excellent dishes offer an innovative and creative dining experience. Compliments to the Chef and all the staff!

10/08/2025: Excellent Michelin-starred restaurant with constantly changing menus. Always highly recommended.

30/07/2025: 🌟 If someone had told me in the morning that I would end the day in a fairytale — I wouldn’t have believed it. After 10 hours on the road, I arrived in a small Italian town, booked a hotel, and drove through narrow streets to find it. Eventually, I reached the Castagni complex — and that’s when the magic began. I was warmly welcomed by the incredibly kind and friendly hostess. She showed me my room (absolutely beautiful!), walked me through the garden, showed the pool, the restaurant… We agreed I’d come for dinner in the evening. And then — the evening came. I walked into the restaurant… And I couldn’t believe what I saw: the waitress didn’t just explain the menu — she sang it. And the hostess introduced each course like a scene from a culinary theatre. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavor and imagination. I don’t know who the chef is — but he’s a genius. Every bite was stunning. Each wine matched the dish in perfect harmony. You can feel the soul they’ve put into everything. You’re not just eating. You’re experiencing. You’re awakening. Even if you’re alone — here, you never feel lonely. This place feels tuned to inner peace. You feel like someone is holding your hand, whispering: “You’re home.” And then came dessert. And then — a collection of Armagnac, starting from 1945… I chose the 1947. 45 euros — that’s not a price. That’s the taste of time. The energy of post-war Europe, captured in a crystal glass. It doesn’t burn — it unfolds. It speaks to you. And suddenly, you understand something deeper about yourself and life. 💫 If you’re ever nearby — don’t miss it. One evening here can truly change you. The money? Not an expense. It’s an investment in a moment you’ll carry with you forever. And if someone asks: — How much does peace of mind cost? You’ll know: — I found it in Castagni. And I’ll be back.

11/06/2025: A very nice and intimate place where all the staff makes you feel at ease.

13/07/2025: We ordered a menu that included 10 appetizers, bread, water, fregola with seafood, pasta with truffles, and dessert for €30 per person. The carabineri were spectacular.

13/07/2025: Great availability even when booking by phone, excellent on-site reception, super-fast preparation of my young son's dish (cutlets and fries). I chose the lobster linguine, a true delicacy as well as a beautiful sight, not to mention the decidedly generous portion, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I then continued with some delicious shrimp and fish meatballs, finishing with a delicious lactose-free Catalan cream. My husband chose land between a lovely appetizer of Sardinian cheeses and cured meats and a very good Angus beef, to finish with his own dessert and a warm chocolate cake for my son. We chose the à la carte menu due to our preference, but they also offer very interesting guided tasting menus. I also want to highlight the attention to detail in every single course, as well as the option of lactose-free options, including desserts. The value for money was absolutely more than fair. We had a great time and therefore highly recommend it, both for families and in general. The location is intimate, minimal yet effective, and super clean (as are the bathrooms).

07/08/2025: Situated in an old & beautiful sardaignan village, this Albergo was an eden place to relax in a nice medieval atmophere. The restaurant was also fantastic, cooked with natural agro-products very tasty. We have enjoyed also the nice breakfast outside in the peaceful ambiance. And, we will never forget the nice team dedicated, they have always given their best to care and to help us. Congratulations to all of them 👏 Unforgettable stay for us 😃

29/07/2025: We stayed one night at this albergo diffuso. Our room was in the Sa Murighessa building, just steps from the main building. The room was beautiful, very spacious, with two windows overlooking the village, a very comfortable bed, and clean. We chose the half-board option, and the dinner was delicious. We were more than happy with our choice and recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit this beautiful part of Sardinia.

04/07/2025: We had a truly wonderful stay at Parco Statella. The hospitality and care provided by Manuela made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. The entire place has a magical charm, peaceful, authentic, and full of character. It was the perfect base for exploring the region, and we left with warm memories thanks to the atmosphere Manuela has created. We hope to return again someday maybe next time on our way to Etna!

25/06/2025: Restaurant restaurant located in a splendid property near an eighteenth-century villa and with a large park cared for in detail. The cuisine is excellent with typical local products, the appetizers are abundant. The courtesy of the owner Massimo is beautiful. Highly recommended
