Scene
Charming hotel on the lake
Steel blue shutters and white porthole inspired windows decorate the façade of the charming Hotel Residence La Luna Nel Porto. Inside, the lobby is bright with red leather couches and a black-and-white checkered floor. Cocktails are served from a small white bar with a wooden top and white barstools, and cushioned chairs and sleek modern tables provide a spot to enjoy the variety of pastries served at breakfast. Guests can take in the beautiful lake views at the hotel from an outdoor terrace with lounge chairs, and from a patio with ornate wrought iron tables and chairs. Statues, grassy lawns, and hanging flower baskets decorate the grounds of the hotel.
