VILLA PRINCIPE LEOPOLDO
The splendid setting of the Hotel Villa Principe Leopoldo in Lugano offers creative, well thought-out dishes paired with exciting beverages, maximizing and allowing for the perfect taste experience.
Gustav Trägårdh, Sweden’s Chef of the year for 2010, presents both classic and innovative dishes, primarily based on fish and shellfish.
“A great wine and food experience. Noteworthy was Rocca di Montemassi 2012: total harmony, velvety structure, finesse and elegance at the service of an excellent young roast of venison. A long life ahead of it.”
