02/01/2026: My wife and I spent a wonderful New Year's Eve 2025/26. Everything was top-notch, starting with the well-organized parking, followed by a fabulous entrance that left you breathless. We were greeted promptly by both the owners and the smiling waiters. We ate fresh, beautifully cooked dishes, and the evening was accompanied by great music from DJs Angelo Vicari and Simone Palmieri. We felt welcomed right at home, and we were also safe, which is no small feat considering how things have gone in Switzerland. All respect for the decision to escort people out for the fireworks. If you want to be treated with respect and have fun, go to VILLA RENOIR (CASTELLANZA), affordable prices.
P.S. A special thanks goes to the owners (Mr. Paolo and his wife) who gave us a wonderful evening. We will definitely be back.
01/01/2026: NEW YEAR'S EVE DINNER 2025/2026
The location is truly enchanting: from the moment you enter, with its myriad fairy lights creating a fairytale atmosphere, you sense something special. The water fountain completes the experience, creating an almost enchanting atmosphere. Inside, the elegant and refined white color scheme inevitably raises expectations.
The food was excellent, and the wait staff truly deserves praise: the men and women were excellent, welcoming, attentive, and helpful. The young man who looked after our table and the area was especially polite and attentive.
Unfortunately, however, I must admit that the promised entertainment didn't live up to the description in the event's presentation. During dinner, we expected a proper show, but instead it was mostly karaoke, which only involved the tables under the stage, excluding much of the room. Furthermore, the songs chosen weren't suited to creating a New Year's Eve party atmosphere. (I'm giving the service a 2 for this reason alone, as there's no dedicated voice.)
"Extensive prizes and party favors" were advertised, but there were no games or engaging moments. Even the music played afterwards seemed rather dated and unsuitable for a night of partying and dancing, despite the presence of an RTL representative. There was no real dance floor, just a small, impractical space between the tables.
The fireworks also left a bitter taste: they lasted very little and, more importantly, they were set off at 1:00 AM instead of midnight. This is Italy, and, more importantly, the event poster didn't mention any "UK time" celebrations. It seemed like an inexplicable and inappropriate choice, taking the magic away from one of the most anticipated moments of the year.
It's a real shame, because the advertising made it seem like it was going to be a truly fun evening. Personally, I spent most of the night sitting at the table, which I wasn't expecting for a New Year's Eve presented in this way.
