Enjoy your favorite tunes on our outdoor sound system by downloading the SONOS app - speakers located on the front and backyard porches and pool area. Our indoor dining area seats 22 people, outdoor dining seats 32! You can spend your evening sitting around the firepit (firewood included) or take a stroll up the Bellissimo castle stone tower to the enchanting Rooftop Bar or as we call it "The Cannon Bar" equipped with a bar area, refrigerator and firepit table to experience the tranquility of the lake.
