Aggeliki Charami is the new Chef at LA VIMEA

LA VIMEA, Italy's first entirely vegan hotel, located in Naturns, is starting the season with a new culinary director. The adults-only hotel in South Tyrol has appointed the internationally renowned chef Aggeliki Charami to take over the kitchen.

Previously, chef Luca Sordi was responsible for shaping the vegan offerings at LA VIMEA for many years. His creative dishes established the hotel as a leading name in the plant-based hotel industry. He is now pursuing new career paths and handing over the cooking spoon.

Chef Charami is also responsible for the OMNIA restaurant and the Paradiso Pure.Living Vegan Hotel on the Alpe di Siusi.
