On the ground floor, opening onto the garden, the “Biagioni Salò” restaurant occupies the rooms with lake views. The intervention was comprehensive, spanning the architectural and scenographic project as well as the selection of sophisticated technological solutions.

At its core lies an executive precision that defines the spaces, reclaiming their genius loci through rigorous historical research. Stucco is paired with velvet, as if to rediscover the refined simplicity of the Italian bourgeois taste associated with such locales.

In the main hall, the floor, crafted from Botticino marble tiles and black grout, unfolds in a pattern of concentric disks, a design choice emphasizing that nothing is more monotonous than a space where everything is perfectly linear. This executive precision is also found in the bar counter, positioned in the main area facing the entrance: here, white-and-violet Breccia Capraia marble is paired with etched brass and eucalyptus wood slats.

Every zone is intimate, designed for a sophisticated clientele and defined by round tables and comfortable velvet armchairs in muted nuances, from sand to olive green, evoking the colors of the lake. These contained spaces flow beneath vaulted ceilings adorned with stuccos and frescoes that define their timeless charm.

Recognizing that a restaurant with true allure must also surprise through its restrooms, the project utilizes sophisticated architectural solutions to unleash design creativity. These intimate spaces feature an exquisite balance of materials, fixtures, textures, and lighting.

The palette includes Verde Alpi marble, Breccia Capraia, moss-green fluted glass, berry-colored lacquers, etched brass faucets, and matte black sanitary ware
