Clients can request a dinner that re-evokes the atmosphere and customs of the Medieval and Renaissance times. For this occasion recipes from this period will be served and the waiters and cooks will be dressed accordingly. During the dinner terracotta tableware will be used, while for silverware you will only have a wooden spoon: it is therefore necessary to use your hands to eat the meat. But after dining you can wash them in basins filled with water perfumed with rose petals. The raw jute tablecloth, together with the candles all help to create a truly magical atmosphere. The guests will have the opportunity to wear elegant medieval clothes, exact reproductions of those used by lords of the castles of this historic period.
