This is a Michelin starred restaurant with rooms. We dined from their menu fantasia. The dish of real note was the wild mushrooms baked in the oven. Very simple a big portion of porcini sealed in baking paper with remarkably little else other than the funghi themselves. I noted a bay leave and I suspect a drop of water, or maybe oil, and s and p. Otherwise the food was as you would expect with this class of restaurant, with the inevitable foie gras to start and a pleasant dish of stuff quails as a main course, followed by cheese and pud. Basically a family run operation, this is a great spot to both stay and dine.
