ON THE LAKE

See the shore from the water.

The lake has always been meant to be experienced from the water itself. From our private stone landing, step aboard for quiet dawn crossings, village market visits or golden-hour circuits.

PRIVATE STONE JETTY

Departures at your own hour.

Moored at the foot of the villa garden, our classic varnished wooden launch accommodates up to six guests with a dedicated skipper. Whether you wish to cross to a historic botanical garden before the public boats arrive or anchor in a sheltered bay for a late-afternoon swim, routes are shaped around the day's wind and light.

First-Light Crossing (90 Minutes)

Set out at sunrise when the water is glass-still, returning to the villa pergola in time for breakfast.

Half-Day Villa & Village Circuit (3–4 Hours)

Combine quiet shoreline cruising with a stop at a historic lakeside town or waterfront trattoria.

Golden-Hour Aperitivo Cruise (90 Minutes)

Evening departure as the western ridge casts long shadows across the water, with chilled Franciacorta onboard.
