There is a particular stillness to the lake before breakfast. The water holds the first light, shutters begin to open along the shore and the mountains appear slowly through the morning haze.

Start in the garden

Start with a walk through the garden while the air is cool. Take a coffee outside and watch the small boats prepare for the day. If you feel like exploring, ask our concierge about an early crossing to a nearby village, when the narrow lanes are at their most peaceful.

Leave room in the day

The best itinerary is often the one with room left in it. Leave time to pause, take the longer route and let the morning surprise you.
