Dolce Vita
Poolside Italian ease, from lunch to sunset aperitivo.
Overlooking the thermal pools and the hills of Val d'Orcia, Dolce Vita is the most relaxed soul of Castello di Velona: a place designed for bright lunches, honest flavours and afternoons that drift slowly towards aperitivo hour.
From late morning until sunset, the Mediterranean kitchen celebrates the simplicity of exceptional ingredients: light seasonal dishes, the fish bar with its offerings from the sea, pizza from the oven. This is the place for an informal lunch after a thermal swim, a bite at any hour, a glass of wine as the sun goes down.
Signature cocktails, timeless classics, local wines and a dedicated selection of labels complete the day: the Italian art of living slowly, with Val d'Orcia as your backdrop and no reason to hurry anywhere.
And when the sun slips behind the hills, the ritual continues at the Velona Lounge Bar: one last glass, the valley slowly dimming, the evening just beginning.
