HOW WE ENNOBLE THE EXPERIENCE First, in name and deed. Alessio I, head of the San Martino family of Parella, was also the first person to believe in the worth of this site, turning it from a fortified storage area into a house-fortress in 1545. Noble in the intentions and principles that guide its every decision, in its celebration of beauty, its respect for tradition and its boldness as it looks to the future, just like Vistaterra itself. We are the first to believe in this noble project, and we ll prove it to you at the table, where you can savour the work of a chef who respects tradition and ennobles the humblest of local products. How? Find out in the adjacent kitchen, in full sight of diners, because we take the idea of transparency seriously!
