A place where to hide away from everyday routines and the stressful city, a place for falling in love, find oneself again and daydream.

Perfect details, precious materials and furnishings  give great elegance to this rustic place, that smells like open fields, barns and cut grass. Rossini Art Site surrounds it: it is a ten hectares wide museum and park with big sculptures, site specific installations made by some of the greatest artists of the late 20th century.

The available rooms in their Foresteria Lombarda are six, four of which placed inside of an ancient barn,  and, while still maintaining a strong link with their local farm tradition with their ceilings and floors made of ancient wood, they’re all well furnished and cured into the smallest details to make your stay into something perfect, with the latest technologies and comforts that every high-profile room service must provide.

To its hungry guests, Lear Gourmet & Relais’ opens the door of tradition with dishes that tell the story of the territory and of the immediate surroundings, with organic ingredients all produced by local farmers.

And for those who have a sweet tooth, you can’t miss the lavander-flavored creme brulée. You’ll fall in love.
