Country House Podere Lacaioli I In Castiglione del lago

25/12/2025: We dined twice during our stay at the hotel. The setting is beautiful, as is the rest of the hotel. I really appreciate the table linens and the attention to detail. The service is excellent, although on one occasion a couple of mistakes were made. The menu is very interesting, but it's difficult to choose. The food was excellent. Two observations: the portions were too small and the prices were a bit high. We spent around €40 each, but ate very little. I didn't appreciate the fact that I paid more for a bottle of their Roccafiore wine than I did at another restaurant in the city. A word of advice: the tasting menu shouldn't be mandatory for the entire table if there are two people at the table. I understand the logic behind large tables, but if one person wants one menu and the other wants another, I don't see the complexity. I think restaurants that want to maintain this level need a bit of flexibility. I'm including a photo of the pigeon, an Umbrian specialty.
