Rifugio Gelindo di Olgiati Laura In Besano

Nice little restaurant under Monte Orsa, reachable with a nice hike (not too challenging) or even by car. Truly delicious dishes. I highly recommend it!

We celebrated my birthday, there were 6 of us, appetizers of cold cuts and cheeses, all very good, then mixed meats cooked very well, and polenta. Mountain hut-like environment, a large lawn that is good for wedding photos, large parking lot, the only problem is the very bumpy and narrow uphill road, and many large potholes unfortunately, with an off-road vehicle it is better.

Very nice location, well-kept and welcoming. Polite staff and well-prepared dishes! The location is in a quiet area, isolated and not immediately easily accessible, but it can be reached both on foot and by car.

We booked the Easter lunch, it was the first time we went to eat in this delightful and intimate refuge, we ate very well, very kind staff, clean place We will definitely be back

Perfect lunch today with friends. Thank you Laura for the excellent cuisine in a welcoming and well-kept environment. See you soon!

Stunning place full of harmony and tranquility...it feels like a fairytale place! You can only hear the sounds of nature. Delicious eating! Friendly staff! Great service! Very close to town!

Posto stupendo pieno di armonia e tranquillità..sembra di essere in un posto fiabesco!si sentono solo i suoni della natura. Mangiare buonissimo! Personale cordiale! Ottimo servizio! Molto vicino al paese!

A truly beautiful place for those like me who love rustic places with a warm atmosphere....the only drawback is that the road to get there is a bit rough but still accessible to all vehicles

I give 4 stars only for the complicated climb that must be done to get to the top of the refuge, for the rest I have nothing to say, food made with care and excellent raw materials, kind and helpful staff, very well-kept and characteristic location... I recommend it but be prepared for the climb and have a suitable car.

Very nice place, nice and welcoming. On winter evenings there is a fireplace which creates a beautiful atmosphere. The menu is not very rich but the products are truly quality and homemade. Cold cuts and cheeses with pickled preserves presented on wooden cutting boards as if from a high mountain refuge! The typical second courses of meat accompanied by polenta complete the dinner, I would even say abundant and very good. Even the desserts are well presented and made by them. Compliments!
