It consists on two floors each of 300 sqm (that's about 3000 square feet) is a classic villa living in a modern world. Amenities, comfort and style blend with the upper end of Italy's merchant class, circa 1800's. These folks liked to vacation in style, and that my friend, is the reason why you will love this place. Behind casa Diana is the Museum of the ancient boats of the lakes, on its left is a small boat yard, on its right is the beach, while the statal road (lake ring road) is behind the museum.
