A Ladin Gourmet Chamber.
Food at La Stüa de Michil is made up of ingredients, nature, and memories which ultimately transform into a mesmerising culinary experience, in harmony with our values of beauty and kindness. All led by Simone Cantafio, executive chef at the gourmet, 1 Star Michelin restaurant of the Hotel La Perla in Corvara, in the Dolomites of Alta Badia.
Human, essential, taste takes shape 
from the ability to feel. Behind the rock temples the sun shines. 
Sensibility
Chef
In the kitchen, the balance between orient and occident.
There are many ingredients that make the way of the chef Simone Cantafio so tasty. They are simple elements that have to do with concepts such as nature, seasons, flora, human respect, sensitivity and harmony.
A Zen-like component that couldn’t be more in line with his long stay on the Japanese island of Hokkaido, where he ran the Bras family’s two Michelin-starred Toya restaurant. Now he is here with us, the Rising Sun in the Dolomites.
Wonder
Making waste into richness: corals, offal, forgotten vegetables. Intriguing games 
beyond clichés the taste you don't expect. 
The Kitchen
In the kitchen, the rule of opposites applies: hot-cold, acid-oily, soft-crisp. The choice of substance is first and foremost tactile, to understand at first glance how best to showcase it. Then there is the preparation, a moment that resembles an embrace, a loving attention. Finally, the cooking, the true osmosis between chef and substance. It's all a matter of sensitivity, respect, balance between good, beautiful and seductive.
Dining Room
A Lifetime of Hospitality, Passion and Alchemy
Giancarlo is a traveller, and his journey through English and Swiss lands has shaped him with elegance and sensitivity. His greatest gift is the ability to create a light and welcoming atmosphere, making every guest feel at home with spontaneity and simplicity. He joined La Stüa de Michil discreetly, embracing the project with pride and a strong sense of belonging. With a passion for details, a curiosity for beauty and taste, he has the rare talent of understanding guests’ needs and transforming them into moments of pure pleasure. Giancarlo does not simply manage his team – he guides, supports and listens to them. This is, for us, the greatest value of a true maître, a master of style and humanity. These unique qualities today define the soul of La Stüa de Michil and shape an entire project of fine dining and authentic hospitality in Corvara.
Hospitaliy
The most important ingredient. Be welcoming 
to give and receive the essence of joy.
