Talvo is a unique restaurant with the ambience of a luxury restaurant build into an old mountain hut. The Dalsass family welcomes every guest personally and even personally recommended the wines for us. The food combined the Alps with Mediterranean perfectly and the entire experience has been amazing. The wine selection is stunning and beyond the normal standard of a1 Star restaurant. The service is on point and always adequate. As a cigar smoker I also enjoyed the little extra room for cigar smokers without molesting other guests – brilliant and absolutely recommended!
