Situated on the first floor of an elegant and beautifully restored historic palazzo, Dimora Ulmo affords picturesque views of the sassi and ancient city – just the scene for a seasoned traveler looking for an intercultural experience. The gourmet kitchen features several dining spaces with grand windows, enviable artworks, natural lighting and frescoed ceilings, while the round tables and modern seats keep the ambiance light and easy-going. Chef Michele Castelli, alongside his sous chef and Bottura-trained Virginia Caravita, capture Materan recipes with utter refinement and a fearlessness in experimenting with contrasting textures, flavors, and colors.
