Fontanabuona In Mombercelli

22/02/2024: The restaurant: sublime 2 stars, fine and authentic cuisine, what a farandole of appetizers! Beauty of agnolotti, pigeon, risotto, accompanied by absolutely impeccable service. Incredible sommelier, who speaks admirably about the region's wines, and insisted on changing a bottle that he did not consider up to his reputation. A cozy atmosphere far from the world... The hotel, on the other hand, is a major disappointment. Monk's rooms for an old convent I like, but the paint could do with freshening up, and the spaces are poorly soundproofed. The common areas lack warmth: unlit fireplace, no flowers, no music... It's a real shame to make a place with so much potential so ordinary. The service is cordial but above all business-like, with the exception of the bartender who was very pleasant. Spa: crowded and noisy, even by reservation. Not enough deckchairs, not enough glasses... Ridiculous.

23/11/2023: "Against the wear and tear of modern life" said an advertisement years ago It's just like that here, pampered from start to finish. An amazing view from this XVI monastery TOP spa with associated relaxing massages. What to say about the restaurant with 2 Michelin stars "everything else is boredom" as Califano would sing. Balance of tastes without being too strong or intrusive. A dish above all Risotto with prawns and bisque a delicacy If anyone was looking for a "Heaven on Earth" I think you would find it here! You are still sitting there!!!
