"in a warm evening of August, wandering among the hills of the Florentine chianti, we came across the restaurant village of cortefreda, at the homonymous wonderful Relais. Although without reservation we were well received by a girl of the staff who made us sit, detached from the guests of the relais, on a very cozy outdoor veranda. Entering the main entrance we could not not appreciate the location in its entirety. A pleasant exclusive environment with different rooms suitable for every need and occasion, such as the refined main room, with no less than table places, probably also used for receptions and events and the veranda with stone walls, in addition to the “Limonaia”, light room overlooking the garden. So well received we then dined ordering as appetizer a tartare of beef and pumpkin flowers, both well prepared dishes. As seconds we opted – reciprocally exchanged my wife and I – of the Lamb accompanied by herb and duck breast. All watered by a half bottle of burnt (tenuta bolgheri,) as well as swallowing which desserts a millefoglie al pistachio and a cake with apples and raspberries. coffee and grappa for a final price of euro per couple that I would say well spent, both for quality, and for comfort and friendliness of the staff."
