    From the estate to the lake and beyond

    On the Estate

    On the Estate

    Everything you need is within the grounds. The yoga room in the morning, a walk on the ridge trails after lunch, the pool in the afternoon. The days have a good shape to them. The estate runs to roughly 4 acres of beech forest, gardens and parkland, and the ridge trails start at the gate.

    Private dining at Villino Rubini

    Private Chef & Dining

    From breakfast to supper, all on the estate

    A private chef can be arranged for dinner. The day begins with a generous Italian breakfast, included with every stay: warm pastries, seasonal fruit, good coffee. By evening, the garden gazebo, the Dependance dining room or the terrace becomes your dining room. Every menu is built around your group and what is in season. About 100 can sit down to dinner in the gardens under a tent; indoor dining is for smaller groups.
