The atmosphere of luxury and intimacy of the Raimondi Restaurant was further accentuated with meticulous attention to detail in its recent restyling. The rooms, while retaining their original neoclassical character, have been transformed through the use of contemporary furnishings and a refined color palette, which create a harmonious balance between tradition and modernity. The generous mirrors that adorn the walls amplify the feeling of spaciousness and brightness, while the fine fabrics and natural shades of the chosen materials add a note of warmth and welcome to every corner of the restaurant.
A distinctive element of the new design is the introduction of an elegant bar, which opens onto the entire room and the surrounding garden, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy an aperitif before or after dinner in a relaxed and refined atmosphere.
