Auberge de la Croix-Blanche has been awarded the Ospitalità Italiana certification, a recognition given to establishments that meet a range of criteria relating to the quality of their hospitality, service and overall guest experience. This distinction also highlights the strong Italian identity at the heart of the establishment.
Created as part of the Italian Chambers of Commerce network, the Ospitalità Italiana certification aims to recognise tourism and hospitality establishments that stand out for the quality of their offering and their ability to convey a coherent and authentic identity.
The assessment goes far beyond what is served on the plate. A number of aspects are taken into consideration, including the quality of service, the welcome and attention given to guests, the expertise of the staff, as well as the care devoted to the facilities and surroundings.
An Italian identity at the heart of the experience
Among its criteria, Ospitalità Italiana also considers the identity of each establishment and the consistency between the experience it promises and the one its guests actually enjoy.
The culinary offering, the setting, decorative elements and the overall atmosphere all form part of this assessment.
For Auberge de la Croix-Blanche, this certification therefore recognises an approach that goes beyond cuisine alone and encompasses the entire experience offered to its guests.
Hospitality as a core value
The concept of Ospitalità Italiana places particular emphasis on hospitality. In Italian, the word ospite can refer both to the person who welcomes and the person who is welcomed, reflecting an approach to hospitality based on connection and exchange.
This philosophy is reflected in the certification criteria, particularly through the quality of the welcome, the attention given to guests and an establishment’s ability to create a consistent experience around its identity.
With Ospitalità Italiana, Auberge de la Croix-Blanche further reinforces its identity: that of an establishment deeply rooted in Gingins, yet whose heart and cuisine continue to beat to the rhythm of Italy.
