Dining at Villa Lena

The San Michele Restaurant at Villa Lena offers farm-to-table menus created with seasonal produce sourced from our organic vegetable gardens and local producers. Half-board booking options offer hassle free dining each night with a set four-course menu, or you can choose to dine a la carte when it suits. The menus offer simplicity and honesty, with dishes designed around sourcing much from the rich grounds of Villa Lena, which will provide the restaurant with seasonal vegetables, aromatics, olive oil, truffles, wine, and honey.

Our organic orto, our fantastic vegetable garden, spreads over 2 hectares of the Villa Lena estate and just keeps on growing. The annual cycle of bountiful produce provides our restaurant with fresh, sun-drenched veggies, underpinning our seasonally-led menus. Our farm is run on organic, biodynamic and closed-loop principles, meaning our crops are organic and we recycle all nutrients and organic matter back into the soil that it grew in. 

Our chef-in-residence programme enables international chefs to visit Villa Lena and share their creative vision and recipes for organic, sustainable cuisine, offering guests an ever evolving menu. They lead food workshops, host special feasts and occasionally do a takeover in the San Michele Restaurant.
