"As an alternative to the main restaurant, you should consider the barbecue which is held on Thursday evenings (from 7:30pm onwards) over the summer months. The barbecue is held outdoors around the pool area of the hotel and has the best views of the Carpina valley in all of Montone, stretching from the distant Apennines in the north right down to the town of Umbertide in the south. It's an all-you-can eat, all-in deal for €20 per head which is great value. There is a wide selection of grilled meats available accompanied by sides of vegetables, salads, fries, roast potatoes etc. House wine and mineral water is also included.The young staff are very friendly and willing to help you with anything you might need. It's a wonderful setting on a warm summer evening to watch the sun slowly set along the valley while relaxing with a glass of wine after a really good meal. And if you have over-indulged at this all-you-can-eat feast, you can always stretch out on one of the sun-loungers beside the pool and watch the stars emerge from the darkening night sky."
