on the road that leads to Chezz gerdi there’s a
pole stuck in the ground a stone’s throw from
the sea. nailed on it a collection of worned out
wooden signs, weathered by the sea breeze and
sun rays, evry sign pointing the way to different
destinations: Capri, bali, the seychelles and others.
but one of the favorite destinations during
the summer season in the Mediterranean is
this “chiringuitos” in Formentera, which beppe
ronco - an italian entrepreneur with other largescale
hospitality projects in mind for ibiza and
Formentera - took over and re-launched with a
team of his best collaborators a year ago.
the crystal-clear moorings opposite the terraces
of the bar-restaurant have attracted numerous
yachts (if you get here by sea with a tender you
can moor at the Chezz gerdi pier, or be picked
up directly from the ladder of your own yacht by
the local tender service), other customers arrive
by car, in search of fine food and an ambience
that is undeniably high profile but at the same
time respects its guests’ desire to relax while enjoying
a magnificent view.
the chef is the 3 Michelin starred andrea alimenti,
Florentine by birth but half scottish.
naturally the menu features fish, and meat is
also an essential item, but there are also excel-
lent pizzas and a long list of cocktails and wines.
it’s always best to book if you want to sit down
comfortably.
Certainly anyone who wants to get married here
on the seafront will book well in advance - or
choose to declare eternal love without thinking
about it too much - there are chefs and wedding
planners available to satisfy your every need.
