Villa with restaurant in Tuscany region
La Godenda Restaurant
The restaurant of our farm house in Tuscany offers a cuisine that reflects the lifestyle of a 19th-century villa where, in a rural atmosphere, the table was a fundamental moment of family togetherness and sociability, where one discussed business, celebrated important dates and concluded the day.
It is a cuisine characterized by ingredients gown with loving attention that, after careful selection, come to the table in a triumph of combinations and flavors.
A “middle-class country” cuisine, as Artusi liked to call it.
At Country Villas Le Guardiole, a splendid villa in the greenery of rural Tuscany, our goal is to provide moments of tranquil sociability in the Fattoria's friendly restaurant.
The menus are traditional, modifying only the calorie-content to meet today's needs, while maintaining unaltered everything that this cuisine, or better yet, philosophy, contains and expresses in its dishes.
For those with celiac disease, vegetarians or those simply on a “diet”…
In a restaurant context, this cuisine is constantly changing and evolving, whether to adapt the caloric content or to accommodate those who are following a diet imposed by food intolerances or allergies.
The restaurant of our villa in Tuscany is very attentive to the needs of our guests. We have selected a line of ingredients that is absolutely suitable for preparing dishes for those who need to control their celiac disease.
For vegetarians, our chef prepares surprises each day using products from the garden; and for those on a “diet,” one surprise after another!
Our products:
The wine, olive oil, meats and vegetables are produced directly on our agriturismo in Tuscany and are grown using organic farming techniques that are certified by a control body. In fact, the farm's open spaces are dedicated to pastures, fields of grain, vineyards and olive groves. We serve homemade bread (don't miss the focaccia).
Curiosity and gastronomic research led Le Guardiole to cultivate rosa canina (rosehip), from which it makes unique delicacies: Rosa canina berry compote, rose petal marmalade and rosa canina buds under oil to delight the palates of our much appreciated guests.
These products can be purchased at the holiday farm. The products for sale also include the extra-virgin olive oil and Maremma beef prepared directly in the restaurant of our villa. Our restaurant's dishes, such as the excellent rosa canina bud risotto, are practical examples of how to use these noble products.
