Here you can delve deep into pizza history and enjoy a multi-course pizza tasting menu, including pizza dessert. The dough is made over two days and makes the creations extremely digestible.

Chef Bertrand Valgeas talks regarding the challenge that the entire hotel has now overcome 100 percent plastic-free operated. Almost all of the ingredients come from within a 50 kilometer radius. We also know this at home. But this fact is impressive: disposable glass bottles are ground up in the hotel in its own machine and distributed as fine-grained sand, for example in the bunkers on the golf courses.
