A real honor and a well-deserved reward for this young Italian Chef who, a year ago, was the Deputy Chef of Simone Zanoni, Chef consultant of the 5 * hotel in Saint-Tropez.

“I am very pleased to see that our tireless efforts have been appreciated and rewarded. Our team has done a wonderful job and it is thanks to the involvement of everyone that we are proud today to wear this star ”, specifies Pietro Volontè.

When he took over the restaurant "Le Belrose", Pietro Volontè knew that the challenge was important. Indeed, the establishment already benefited from a star in the Michelin guide, reward for the work of their previous Chef Thierry Thiercelin. The stakes were high: to demonstrate the talent of Pietro Volontè and to keep this star.

A bet won hands down, carrying an excellent omen for the 2016 season, which will start on April 25, at the arrival of sunny days in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

Mr. Thomas H. Althoff, owner of the Althoff Hotel Collection group and Mr. Robert-Jan Van Straaten, General Manager of Villa Belrose underline: “We are very proud of the work of our duo of Italian Chefs. Thanks to the expertise of Simone Zanoni, the will, the hard and passionate work of Pietro Volontè, this year again we will have the pleasure of offering our customers gourmet starred cuisine with Mediterranean flavors.
