"Faux luxe", the "Fornasetti" suite is fantastic tough, but F&B is canteen with incompetent staff on all levels.

And after buying some wine at a cellar tour the employee made a sollicitation for tipping after I paid for the wines to be shipped to Europe . "La Pių Belle" (not a wrong ortograph) is the most interesting wine, the rest is copy Bordeaux and totally overpriced now.

The whole concept is issued from a "nouveau riche".

For the real thing go to Casa Lapostolle.
