Polisena L'altro Agriturismo In Pontida

I stayed and dined at POLISENA L'Altro Agriturismo and can only describe it as absolutely excellent. The property is beautiful, lovingly cared for down to the smallest detail; the atmosphere is warm, enveloping, and made even more magical by the refined jazz background that pleasantly accompanies our stay. ​The real highlight, however, is the cuisine. As a vegan for seven years, I can say with certainty that I have rarely encountered such attention and sensitivity: Chef Locatelli is a true artist, capable of transforming quality raw ingredients into authentic culinary masterpieces. ​The proof? My partner, who is not vegan, was literally amazed: he had to change his mind dish after dish, won over by the intense and creative flavors. ​I highly recommend POLISENA L'Altro Agriturismo to anyone looking for a regenerating weekend escape or even just an unforgettable dinner. A place where ethics meets haute cuisine.

It was exactly what I expected. The restaurant and the mostly vegan dishes exceeded my expectations. A peaceful corner in the countryside and good food.

I stayed at this location for a weekend. Although the food is very well-prepared, enjoyable, and recommended, the service remains a major sore point that needs to be addressed, as it detracts from the location and food. Recommendations: It's not possible to wait 15 minutes for check-in. It would be advisable to provide shelter in case of rain if the location requires access to the rooms and spa from the outside. In case of bad weather, consider providing an alternative to the hot tub, as it's not possible to pay for a spa service and only have the option of using the sauna and Turkish bath. Furthermore, we were offered the option of using the hot tub the following morning, but no one gave us any information on how to do so. I asked about the possibility of a massage and was told they would call the external physiotherapist to ask, but unfortunately, I never heard back. We then had an aperitif at the wine bar; it would have been nice to have more than two seats if the group is six. Finally, for dinner, if a dinner package is available, it would be helpful for the staff to inquire before giving incorrect information, before being served a bill inflated by unscheduled dishes that we, as customers, had been incorrectly told we could have. Overall: poor value for money.

Not for everyone! For me, a vegan and nature and green lover, it's a perfect place. The location is truly beautiful, surrounded by greenery. The tasting menu is reasonably priced for what you get, €50 for six courses. The portions are just right, not generous. I've read various reviews about the flavors and understand what people are referring to, which is why I'll point out at the outset that it's not for everyone. Plant-based cuisine can have strong flavors thanks to marinades, etc., that aren't present in these dishes. That's why they're good: they're not overly processed or elaborate, they're simple and authentic. If you're expecting flavors that explode in your mouth, this isn't the place for you. P.S.: 10+++ dumplings and also a soft chocolate cake. We also tasted their wines and bought some for home. Everything was delicious!

Polisena was a very welcome discovery. Far beyond expectations. Rooms: Beautiful rooms, meticulously maintained down to the smallest detail, with a small panoramic veranda that is a gem in itself. Carefully crafted furnishings, lots of natural-scented wood. Service: Warm and professional welcome. Attentive, present, but never intrusive. During dinner, the dishes and wines are described in detail. Extreme attention is paid to food intolerances or allergies. Wine tasting: The owner exudes love and passion for the wine produced by their small winery. Noteworthy wines! I particularly enjoyed their Esperimento 2 and Tribale. Location: You need a car to reach Polisena, but the owners were truly helpful with transportation to and from the agriturismo, Pontida station, or Ponte S. Pietro. Immense view. Every terrace, common area, and room enjoys a view of the area. Absolutely fantastic! Cido: Good. Vegetarian and vegan cuisine, with careful attention to raw materials, much of which are self-produced. Honorable mention to L'altro Casoncello. I'll definitely be back to try the wellness and spa area.

A relaxing and delicious experience at the Polisena farmhouse. The location was meticulously maintained, and the staff were fantastic, knowledgeable, and courteous. The food and wine were truly excellent! We also used the private spa, which was excellent value for money, offering great relaxation and privacy. We'll definitely be back!

A wonderful experience We did a tasting First, a tour of the vineyards Everyone was very kind, and above all, the wine was delicious! The place is in a very scenic area Must try

We have already been here quite a lot of times (only restaurant, we didn’t stay the hotel). Good vegan and vegetarian dishes! We aren’t vegetarians or vegan, even though we still love all the plates and surely we’ll return. Beautiful view, ambience and place plus kind owners and staffs.

Polisena is located in an enchanting setting, the view offers a profound sense of tranquility, allowing for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. My experience as a restaurant guest has always been highly satisfying. Beyond the meticulously designed location, I've appreciated the staff's kindness and dedication in guiding guests through innovative culinary experiences. Savoring the seasonal vegan dishes reaffirms the significance of this dietary choice. A special restaurant, where you can regenerate your sense of well-being in harmony with nature.

Very nice place, competent service and refined and tasty food
