About us

We are Jan Willem Brals and Anne Lasschuit from Amsterdam. We love to travel, but always enjoy the tranquility of Lake Como the most. The wonderful days on the water, the fantastic walks in the mountains, the delicious meals on terraces and the dreamy tranquility of the lake in the evening sun. These are pleasures that we wish everyone. We do our very best to let our guests experience the same pleasure.

Information

The environment and its possibilities:

  • In the area you can go hiking, cycling (there are extensive mountain bike routes in the mountains), swimming, water sports, golf, visit museums, delicious food, etc, etc.
  • There is a pebble beach next to the complex, where a mountain stream flows into the lake. Here you can swim in the clear water (water shoes are recommended).
  • In the park next to the beach you can end the day with a nice BBQ or picnic at one of the picnic tables.
