Two outdoor kitchens of Officine Gullo have been chosen by two hotels in Tuscany, owned by the prestigious Belmond group: Villa San Michele in the Florentine hills and Castello di Casole in the province of Siena. The brand’s outdoor kitchens feature the use of top-quality AISI 316 stainless steel characterized by the excellent ability to resist corrosion. This material, which features a low ferrous content, offers unequaled durability, absolute resistance to corrosion, and an elegant design that brings out the very best in any decorative setting.
At Villa San Michele, the matt beige kitchen (RAL 1019) with satin chrome finish has been installed. It is a linear cooker with a pizza oven and lava stone barbecue, as well as two parallel islands. The first island is dedicated to food prep and washing, while the second one includes a chilled display counter for meat and fish. All kitchen worktops are made of Antolini quartzite. Officine Gullo also created two trolleys for Villa San Michele, one for making cocktails and the other for serving cheese at the restaurant tables. Two compact, versatile pieces, created by combining hard-wearing materials and clever design to achieve appealing, practical results.
At Castello di Casole, Officine Gullo has created an outdoor kitchen in gloss Pearl White (RAL 1013) with brushed chrome finishes, consisting of three elements: a kitchen with barbecue and pizza oven, an island with sink, induction plates and pasta cooker and a steel-topped prep counter. «We chose Officine Gullo for its great history, unmistakable aesthetics, and its practical use. The idea was to create a genuine poolside restaurant, seeking a classic style that is deeply rooted in Tuscan traditions and at the same time, “on the cutting edge”» says Luca Corsini, Food & Beverage Manager at Castello di Casole.
