 Lunch poolside at Villa Padierna is a very pleasurable experience except for the food. The pool is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in a setting that is both very pretty and romantic. We had Sunday lunch, eight of us. Three hamburgers were ordered, four prawn salads and a wok fried noodle dish. The dishes took just under an hour to arrive. The Prawn salad was actually two prawns hiding under a small amount of rocket. The wok fried noodles were a cold gloopy mess. The hamburgers were actually quite good although the chips were anemic looking and cold. The bottles of con gas where the cheapest make and had no fizz at all costing 10 euros a bottle. The four ice creams we ordered were more akin to warm soup. 8 main courses, 4 ice creams and 5 bottles of con gas came to 270 euros. Service came with symathetic smiles from the one waiter on duty.
