It enjoys a privileged position allowing a suggestive view of the lake and is a must have destination for anyone who wants to enjoy refined dishes in the garden, in the lounges, in the rooms and on the terraces of the suites, surrounded by beauty and Mediterranean vegetation.
The Suites, all the restaurant areas and kitchen at La Speranzina are the result of a wide excavation in 700 cubic meters of land directly at the lake level; 300 square meters kitchen, entirely designed by the owner Stefano Giordani.
A brigade of chefs operates in a very comfortable working atmosphere, with the last cuisine equipments. Everything has been designed in an eco-sustainable perspective and particular attention has been paid to the healthiness of the environment; the appliances are electric or induction, ensuring maximum hygiene.
The raw materials are carefully selected to bring the best of local products to the table, combined with more refined ingredients to create unique dishes. Particular attention is given to the presentation of the dishes. Each preparation becomes an event that enhances the senses and brings great emotions to the table.
Speranzina has a cuisine where tradition is closely associated with gastronomic experimentation. Great importance is given to the selection of all products, only of the highest level, trying to identify the best cooking technique.
Fresh sea and lake fish, local vegetables and mushrooms, strictly Garda oils are the basis of our menus which scrupulously explore the seasons. Two independent working areas have been dedicated to desserts as the haute patisserie is an absolute protagonist, and bread-making.
Renewed on the 2017, the kitchen of La Speranzina Restaurant & Relais is today a true laboratory of taste. A giant job of excavation (700 cubic meters of land directly at the lake level) made by numerous workers which required the closure of the restaurant for 2 consecutive years for all winter months.
The result is a 300 square meter kitchen, entirely designed by the owner Stefano Giordani in close collaboration with Silvio Tedeschi, owner of Tedeschi srl, a leading company in Italy that since 1948 designs and manufactures cutting-edge kitchens.
Everything has been designed in an eco-sustainable perspective: the equipment is electric, but thanks to an innovative computerized distribution and management system that controls its individual power, it has been possible to reduce energy needs with significant savings in consumptions.
This means that the kitchen works with a quarter of the electricity that a kitchen of this size and type would normally need. Particular attention was paid to the healthiness of the work environment and thanks to a powerful Air Treatment Unit it is possible to filter and purify the air in an optimal way.
There are no open gas flames, all the hobs are induction and therefore easy to clean, as well as all the worktops, which are in one-piece, do not have joints and guarantee maximum hygiene. The result obtained is to allow the chefs brigade to operate in a very comfortable working atmosphere, to enhance the final goal with fresh and elegant dishes.
