Breakfast at Boutique Hotel Villa Alberta

They say breakfast should be fit for a king. Here it isn’t an included service to get out of the way: it is the reason many guests come down early. Our cook prepares both the sweet and the savoury side, so most of what you find on the buffet is made in this house. It is served on the veranda or at the tables inside, whichever you prefer.

It is served every day from 7:30 to 10. If you are leaving at dawn for a regatta, a hike or a day on the bike, you will find a lunch packet prepared the evening before — and when the timing allows we open earlier, at 7. Just let us know the night before.

The cakes and tarts come out of our kitchen every morning, along with the cornetti and the pastries. Honey and jams are in glass jars, to help yourself with a spoon, and there is always fresh fruit.

Scrambled eggs are there every morning; if you would rather have a fried egg or a soft-boiled one, we make it on the spot — just ask the dining room staff. Beside them, four kinds of cured meat and five cheeses, savoury strudel, caprese and the pizzette of the day, and always fresh vegetables. The bread comes from Panificio Tecchiolli, an artisan bakery in Trentino with its own mill.

There is a gluten-free corner every day, and if you tell us when you book, our cook makes gluten-free bread and cake fresh that same morning. Rice, almond and lactose-free milk are always on the buffet, along with three juices and two detox drinks. Coffee whenever you like.
