Massimago Wine Relais

Charming relais surrounded by woods and vineyards. Friendly staff and interesting tasting. The spa is nice and overlooks the hills of the vineyards, although with basic services, excellent for relaxing as a couple or for small groups. Restaurant of excellent quality and refined cuisine that surprised us a lot. I recommend the tasting menu, the liver, the fig sorbet and the amarone risotto. The only flaws: the aseptic music that doesn't warm the environment and the Amarone tiramisu a little humid. For the rest, unique flavors and a friendly chef. The rooms are tidy and overlook the greenery of the valley. We relaxed and walked through the vineyards with pleasure, accompanied by the sweet kittens that are found around the Relais.

My partner and I have just returned from this lovely place. The location is divided into two structures, the main one where the restaurant is located, the vineyard, the wine bar, the large swimming pool with adjoining bar and the relaxation areas. The second body of the structure is located about 800 m away (a car is absolutely advisable to move from one to the other) Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly and very professional smiling staff (we thank Susanna Giorgia and Chiara for their availability ) we checked in and were accompanied to the second structure. Very well-kept garden, a small tub (more like a Jacuzzi than a swimming pool). The structure is new and renovated in every aspect, our room called Susanna was located on the top floor with exposed beams of sufficient size for the use to be made of it and a beautiful bathroom with a large shower. In the late afternoon we went to the main structure where we were able to relax drinking wines obviously produced by them under a magnificent centuries-old mulberry tree. Let's come to dinner, we travel a lot for work and we have visited numerous restaurants (including starred ones) we took two tasting menus for €79 each, which included two welcomes from the kitchen and six courses, each of which accompanied by a different wine paired with the dish. Honestly, it was a great surprise to find dishes of this level, perfect combinations, refined tastes and always very balanced. All accompanied by a service from the guys in the room who are always attentive to detail and discreet. We really enjoyed and were pampered. Let's come to a couple of tips that may be useful in our opinion. Giving those residing in the second structure the opportunity to have a minimum of additional service especially being a wine relais, for example making it available to guests who wanted to have an aperitif without necessarily having to take the car would certainly be a plus. We need at least two pillows per guest, perhaps of different consistencies.... We also thank the very kind lady who takes care of the second structure for her courteous discretion. The last thing that was very important, indeed fundamental, for us was the welcome given to Piper, our Pitbull without whom we can't move. Thank you and see you soon!
