A furious dad has protested to resort bosses after his 14-year-old daughter found a half-naked girl smothered in chocolate served on their hotel dessert buffet in Italy.
The bizarre dish features a girl in a skimpy bikini curled up on a huge salver with chocolate sauce all over her laying next to the restaurant’s pastries.
Bafflingly, hotel managers called it a “chocolate statue”.
Outraged Federico Mazzieri – from Milan – and his daughter stumbled across the kinky dish of the day beside the pool of their GBP-170-a-night hotel.
HR manager Federico took to social media to complain about the scene at the VOI Colonna Village Hotel in Golfo Aranci, Sardinia.
After posting his snap of the woman, he accused the four-star resort of using a “female body as an object”.
He wrote on 15th August: “Last night, after a beautiful day during which many people worked hard to provide a carefree day for numerous guests, I am left speechless as I look at this scene: a dessert buffet by the poolside, with a table featuring a girl ‘in costume’ covered in chocolate, lying amidst the pastries.”
Astonished Federico added: “At the hotel, after expressing my displeasure, I was told that it was the ‘chocolate statue’.”
The Italian vented at how “the body of a woman, of a worker, is equated with that of a dish to cater to someone’s malicious gaze”.
He went on: “I am on holiday with my 14-year-old daughter, and her comment was, ‘Dad, how disgusting.'”
After Federico’s post caused outrage online, VOI Hotels wrote a lengthy reply calling the incident “regrettable”.
The resort chain wrote: “We would like to extend our most sincere apologies to you, your family, especially your daughter, as well as our clients, on behalf of the entire VOI Hotels management.”
The group added: “We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that situations like these do not repeat in the future.
“We are taking immediate actions to address this episode constructively and to ensure that no client should feel offended in any way in the future.”
When contacted by local media for comment, Federico replied: “Regarding my posts, the apologies from VOI Hotels, and the subsequent conversation with the hotel management, I don’t think there are any other topics to add.
“For me, the case is closed.”
