Restaurant
The restaurant La Cru 1 Michelin star in 2020 and Green Star in 2021, is located in a newly built structure with burnished steel, partly taken from salvaged railway sleepers, and large windows overlooking the Valpantena. It gives onto the biodynamic vegetable garden, vineyards and olive grove, which provide much of the ingredients for the cuisine. The layout of the room allows guests to enjoy ample space and a variety of sensations. Chef Giacomo Sacchetto defines his cuisine as territorial, authentic and seasonal. A formula that is nourished by memories and constant research. The vegetable garden The organic, biodynamically focused vegetable garden, occupies an area of 2,000 square meters and overlooks the restaurant, only a few steps away from the kitchen. Its particular shape of concentric circles brings us back to the perfection of nature and its circularity: an ecosystem of spontaneous plants and vegetables that grow in symbiosis. It is a self-sustaining and self-defending vegetable garden, thanks to what we like to call the “collaboration” between plants: those that are able to stimulate each other’s growth in nature are placed close to each other. A circular system that also involves recycling vegetable waste from the kitchen to make our own compost. In addition, we preserve the natural environment by hosting our own small colony of bees.
Location
The villa, thanks to its exceptional location, next to the church of Sant’Andrea Apostolo in the centre of Romagnano, affords an extraordinary panoramic view of the valley. The entire complex is immersed in a large garden-orchard (brolo) that runs around the perimeter and borders the land cultivated with vineyards and olive groves, which belong to the Azienda Agricola Villa Medici, owned by the Zecchini family.
