The lucullean breakfast served in an relaxing and pleasant environment, welcomes you to a beautiful day. Your lunch-break may involve light or traditional dishes by the swimming-pool or right by the sea.

You will taste Lucullian food in each of the three restaurants on our tour...

Lucullian banquet at noon in Home E. room & food was plentiful & delicious ``from eggs to apples``.
http://www.theblackhills.com/history/hist97/1952.html
Then we entered the forests, which could be penetrated even by a large army; the trees there are oaks, cypresses, and others unknown in our Europe. We found Lucullian apples, plums, and filberts, and many kinds of fruit different from ours.
