It took an Italian professional who knows the art of hospitality in Africa, to transform a historic Malindi resort into a meeting place with attention to detail that enhances the pleasure of living, relaxation, international cuisine, Italian specialties like pizza and African dishes.
We thought Remo Briziarelli, Roman chef who for years attended Kenya and already has several experiences in local malindini, but who is also recovering from an adventure to five stars in Brazzaville, Congo.
"Path professionally high - says Remo, for the Ramada chain, through the Italian Embassy. I served dinners for individuals from all over the Continent and seven presidents. "
Princely salary, satisfaction in their job, but Remo work is not everything, there is also life on a human scale, there are the things done well and with passion, giving time to the right value.
"I missed Malindi, I missed the climate, the sea, the Nature of the Kenyan coast - says Remo - so I decided to take up this challenge, the intriguing yet another bet Kenyan".
The bet is now a beautiful reality and is called Seaview Resort.
Remo has taken over the entire hotel and created a very special restaurant, "The Bunch", where the atmosphere is relaxing and you can eat either in the dining room is quiet around the large swimming pool. He built a wood oven for pizza ( "now we also take away a lot, delivering directly to the home of those who order), he has renovated the bar area and created a unique space for those who want to combine the pleasure of the dinner even the romance of a new situation, but also for those who love the magic of the sunset time and want to enjoy a drink dedicated, imaginative cocktails with the addition of appetizers, in a private room away from prying eyes.
"Her name is Mimi na Wewe is a gazebo dedicated to those who want to dine side by side on a sofa, separated from the rest of the restaurant and have his privacy, or shared with that of other couples, great for happy hour or small parties private, and why not, for new experiences. "
The Sea View Resort has also been redesigned and refreshed in the rooms, which are home to customers around the world, with great attention to domestic tourism which is what can fill the whole year, but also for groups (possibility of meetings, conferences and rallies) and families.
The menu for the patrons of the restaurant offers a variety of possibilities, from classical Italian pasta and pizza, fresh fish of the Indian Ocean, to the light lunch with salads and sandwiches, with special burgers.
Plus there's an African menu with recipes faithful to the tradition of Kenya, and many other specialties can be prepared on request or even ordered to be withdrawn and consumed at home.
"The atmosphere of this place is special for those who want to organize a party, a particular event - explains Remo - lunch or dinner can be prepared as a result, according to the tastes or the needs of those who organize. By booking you can do the roast suckling pig, grilled fish and shellfish, and more. " Come and eat lunch at the "Bunch" also has the added value of being able to spend the day at the pool, with sunbeds service included in the price.
For hotel guests, there is ample and tasty menu that changes from week to week, but also the possibility to eat a la carte, with a 50% discount.
"I think I've created a unique local - explains Remo - which conveys the good eating with the pleasure of spending a few hours in a secluded place and at the same time very inviting. And so it is for the resort. "
