A signature breakfast
A serene awakening on the Strait
Wake up to the slow rhythm of the waves at Altafiumara, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifts upon the Mediterranean breeze. Our breakfast is a voyage between Calabria and Sicily, two sister lands whose traditions come together in every bite. From the fragrant sweetness of Calabrian pastries to the iconic Sicilian brioche col tuppo, authentic ancient-grain bread and hand-crafted preserves, every detail pays homage to tradition.
Cuisine
Where two lands meet
The buffet
The breakfast buffet at Altafiumara transcends the ordinary. Along with the timeless classics of continental breakfast, guests are treated to the specialties of the Strait: crumbly almond pastries, finely cured meats, local cheeses, and seasonal fruit. Yet the sea remains the true protagonist. Each morning brings you tuna preserved in olive oil, crafted to the chef’s signature recipe, complemented by a selection of artisanal sausages from the Aspromonte mountains. A culinary journey that finds its sweet finale with granitas, homemade jams and freshly-baked bread.
Show cooking
Right before your eyes
A show-cooking station brings a personal touch to start your day, with eggs prepared to order, as you watch. Whether scrambled, in an omelet, soft-boiled, hard-boiled or fried, every dish is handled with care and served fresh. A small gesture that becomes a daily ritual, shaping the relaxed pace of the morning.
The spaces
A window to the sea
Let the Strait of Messina captivate your senses while you relax by the pool, as the early morning light glistens on the water, quietly embracing you with a timeless serenity. Alternatively, you can linger over your breakfast at Lo Sporting’s indoor dining room, an intimate, light-filled space. After all, every new day deserves a beginning like this: immersed in lush greenery, with the sea opening up before your eyes.
Hours
Breakfast is served each morning from 7 AM to 10 AM.
