The venue is stunning, but horribly overpriced. They’ve clearly maximised the geographical beauty of the location, but the overall experience is disappointing for the cost. Entry is €15 per person for just half a day, yet the bathrooms are substandard – no toilet seats and wet floors. Towels are not provided. A basic pre-made salad, the kind you’d expect from a school canteen, is another €15, and it’s not even prepared on site.
On top of this, my husband is gluten intolerant (not coeliac), and this was the only place in Italy where we were told we should have called ahead. At such a luxurious and high-priced establishment, we certainly didn’t expect staff to be reluctant to even offer a simple salad. Everywhere else in Italy has been welcoming and accommodating, so this was a real disappointment.
For two people: entry (€30), two salads (€30), and drinks (about €20) came to around €80 – that’s roughly R1,600 – and parking is extra. Staff were not particularly welcoming when I raised my concerns. For the money you pay, you’d expect a much higher standard. I do not recommend it. If you read other reviews, you’ll see that there’s a place across the way that offers a far better experience at a more reasonable price.
