The house and what is in it

Everything here exists so that a week on Lake Como asks nothing of you.

The quiet half of the house. Movement in the morning, stillness in the afternoon, and a therapist who comes to you rather than the other way round.

Where the day loosens. The pool and the terrace for the hours of light, the games room and the screening room for after dinner.

A working kitchen at the centre of the house, a cellar under it, and a bar that stays open as long as you do.

The lake is the road here. What follows is how you move on it, and what waits in the garage when you would rather leave it.
