Vigilio evokes creative thought as
much as it evokes pleasure.
A compelling menu encourages
daily visits and long stays at the
hotel. With numerous vineyards
in the Garda area and a large stock
from around the world, the cellar is extensive. San Vigilio���s own
extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemons
and other local ingredients, varying seasonally, result in excellent
traditional Italian food. Vegetables
souffl��, risotto all���amarone and
grilled local fish seasoned in San
Vigilio olive oil are all notable. I
ordered floating island for dessert
but Catalan cream is a specialty.
The best tables in the restaurant, all
offering charming perspectives, are
at the five large round waters��� edge
arched windows and along the waterside of the garden, just above a
cluster of green situated between
the taverna and a small church.
These locations have a view over
the lower Lake Garda, the rock of
Stella and of the hotel���s own small
port.
