A little luck after the pasta
The Bivoreli family built their villa with marble shipped from Carrara and a frescoed salone for Sunday card games. Today it holds ten tables under the painted ceiling, and an accordion and mandolin duo plays on Friday and Saturday evenings.
The Fresco Hall
Seven tables of classic card games beneath a hand-painted sky of clouds and cherubs.
The Loggia
Two open-air tables among potted lemon trees, overlooking the lake.
Nonna's Parlor
One private table in the family's original sitting room.
The Limoncello Bar
House-made limoncello, negronis and espresso at a marble counter.
Marble floors, lake breezes
Forty rooms with terrazzo floors, carved walnut beds and tall shuttered windows. Mornings start with mist on the water and the smell of fresh bread from the kitchen.
