You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Off-grid floating unit with low environmental impact.
"In the stillness of the night Botel and I float in the moonlight. And nothing interrupts this peace between man and nature. Thank you for showing us how we might live in an advanced future with low environmental impact." Arianna Dagnino (on tour for 'The Istanbul Quintet') Botel is a floating unit that in some cases requires 'nautical footing'. You will experience immersion in nature and the magical lake atmosphere in a real pieds dans l'eau experience. Your stay will be dictated by the timing of nature using only natural resources. You will have a spacious living room with two sofa beds and glass windows in direct contact with the water. A bedroom furnished with tatami+fouton to enhance the floating effect, a break corner, a bathroom with shower overlooking the lake. There is a UV air sanitiser (Covid protocol). Small pets are allowed on board.
During your stay at this houseboat, you're just a quick walk from Lake Lugano.

experience ecologique dans un endroit superbe
tres beau site et amenagement pour qui adore le bateau .
un bel amenagement d'espace minimaliste avec des astuces ecolos mais un peu tributaire de l'agitation lacustre des vacanciers. Parfait pour une étape moins pour un long sejour.
