...main restaurant, marries imposing decor (grisaille walls, lilac-and-white curtains, Murano chandeliers and neoclassical art) with upscale representations of local specialities (chickpea soup with salad of lentils and green beans, and roast pork with black cabbage flan). Guests can walk off their sumptuous meals by taking a stroll through the lawns, paths and copses that grace the 11-acre (4.5 hectare) garden, which was partly designed as a botanical garden for rare species.
