From the property park, you can exit through a private gate and enter the nearest village, with its charming square on the harbor, 17th-century church and the village’s garden with its lovely pergola.

Villa Serena boasts a 1900 Blutner Grand piano in the living room. The property offers deluxe service and full staff including butler service. A flood-lit landscaped park, about 2,000 sq. ft., surrounds the estate. 1,000 feet of exclusive lake shoreline including a private dock with two courtesy small boats at guests’ disposal.
