DINING AT VELMORA

A table shaped by the morning harvest.

Our kitchen cooks with restraint and respect for proximity: freshwater fish from the lake, herbs from our stepped garden, upland cheeses and small-parcel wines from northern Italy.

NORTHERN ITALIAN LAKESIDE RETREATA restored lakeside house, since 1928.

FROM DAWN TO CANDLELIGHT

Long lunches under the pergola, quiet dinners by the water.

Mornings begin without a fixed seating hour. Freshly baked brioche, orchard figs, alpine butter and espresso are brought to your table on the stone terrace as the sun clears the eastern ridge.

At midday, lunch is served beneath the wisteria pergola—crisp salads, grilled lake fish and chilled local whites. In the evening, lanterns are lit along the water's edge for a daily changing four-course menu.

MORNING TABLE
07:30 AM – 11:00 AM

Included with every stay, served on the terrace or in-suite.

LUNCH & EVENING TABLE
12:30 PM – 10:00 PM

Priority seating for house guests; advance note recommended.
