Le Jardin
Open to sky and lake.
A south-facing terrace that drops toward the water — private lunches, aperitivos as the light turns, and live music on the long summer evenings.
Le Jardin
Old hedges, a spot in the sun, the lake straight ahead.
Laid out around 1900, not long after the villa itself, and left mostly alone since. A mown lawn, low hedges, a handful of larches that hold the evening light longer than anything else here.
In summer the tables are set about in the green, and the bar moves outside once the evening allows it. Most guests end up treating it like a second living room — a book, a coffee, the lake doing the rest of the work.
The Terrace
Aperitif hour, seen from above.
Charcuterie, cheese, and small plates laid out as the light goes gold — the terrace set for whoever wanders down first.
When to visit
Open in summer.
Lunch on the terrace, an aperitivo as the light goes gold, and live piano on many evenings, with the terrace set until the summer air cools. The days and times are on one page for the whole villa, and the current week is always in our programme. On grey days we simply move inside and open Le Bar.
