Since we have been there, we think, the bar has find a new management. Small card with yummy food, super friendly service and well... the view is just amazing! There's no pool and you can just jump in the lake (mainly to inform the one with small people) but it's so worthy! A short walk for the parking before the beginning of the Sentiero dell'Ulivo, or if you feel to walk more (about 20-25) parking in Gandria, the scenario is amazing.
