Our anniversary dinner

We had an invitation from the owner to have dinner at her hotel called Palazzo Marziale. This is where one of David's student is doing his internship.

We had an incredible dinner. They served us Prosceco to start then came with a fish on a bed of lettuce. Next came prawns on a bed of risotto.  I had ordered the lamb chops which melted in my mouth and David the sea bass.

We finished with a delicious dessert. Everything was done with an artistic flare which I can't even begin to describe. I can't do it justice.

This boutique 5 star hotel has 7 guest rooms.  She does not use numbers on their doors but has named each room and developed the decor in each around a particular theme.  Every year they close in January and early February to repaint and repair.  The current building has been in existence since the 1300s and was built as a palace over an early Roman site.  The current owner's family has owned this the property since the 1800s.  They converted the space to this elegant hotel about a decade ago.

The President of the college lives on the top floor.

This is the room where we ate.

 Sitting area.

 The stairway that leads down to a function area where you are able to see Roman ruins that are exposed through glass "windows" in the floor.

Outdoor dining.  There is also another restaurant that is a steak house and less formal .
It was a truly elegant experience and a wonderful way to spend our 44th wedding anniversary.
