The hotel, with 11 superior rooms and suites, is overlooking a beautiful secret garden with its own private outdoor pool, facing the lake and the San Giulio island. The hotel consists of two buildings facing the lake, one old the other new, both integrated into the surrounding landscape.The façade of the new building is composed of thin Accoya wood slats, cut to emphasize its materic effect, and placed at regular intervals to confer a dynamic equilibrium to the external wall.
The aim was to enhance the existing natural legacy, harmonizing the local typologies with elements linked to far off climes. Through this project, the ageold history of the place dialogues with the modernity and tradition of artisans of stone, metal and wood, making ample use of glass surfaces to provide spectacular views over the lake.The hotel is imagined as an intimate oasis, conceived for just 11 rooms in three different forms, two of which are generous suites. Piero Lissoni has chosen the natural materials of wood and stone for the interiors, in perfect equilibrium with the landscape and the spirit of the location.
