Dear friends,
Once again, the time has come to say goodbye and take a little break.
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing Piccolo Lago, for entrusting us with your special moments and for giving us, once again, a season filled with encounters, emotions and wonderful memories.
When we close our eyes, we see a carousel of so many guests who, day after day, have gazed out through the floor-to-ceiling windows of our terraces.
There is someone taking a bite of our succulent Spit-Roasted Pigeon; someone else unable to resist, once again, the irresistible temptation of our Carbonara Au Koque, pouring the sauce from its little egg; others enjoying our Spaghettone with Sea Urchins or the pâté hidden inside the Gianduiotto. And then there are those who have decided that this is the very place where they will take the big step, making us part of the special moment when a ring is presented. All of them captivated by the extraordinary beauty that Mother Nature has bestowed upon this little corner of the world.
And then there are those who have chosen to take a seat at the Kitchen Table, eager to taste as many dishes as possible in a single meal.
Here, the scenery changes: the kitchen brigade at work takes centre stage, while the sound that echoes time and again, almost like a refrain, is the ever-present “Yes, Chef!”.
We think back to the Mondays at the Lake spent together in complete relaxation: a glass in hand, a sun lounger and, every now and then, a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Mergozzo. We can almost smell the aromas drifting from the crackling grill.
We watch the Gourmet Boat setting sail and picture so many emotional faces, sharing some of the most important moments of their lives.
These are precious memories that will stay with us throughout the winter months, when we will take a moment to reflect on just how quickly another season has flown by.
For now, we are slowing things down a little.
You will still find us here until the end of the year if you are planning an event, bringing family, friends and acquaintances together to celebrate a special occasion, or gathering colleagues for the traditional end-of-year celebrations.
Then it will be time to unwind and travel, an essential opportunity to find new inspiration and prepare to welcome you back with the same warmth, enthusiasm and professionalism you have come to appreciate over the years.
It will be wonderful to see you all again, and who knows what the new year will have in store for us, together…
Piccolo Lago will reopen in March 2027.
Wishing you a wonderful winter!
Marco, Lella, Jessica, Simone and the entire Piccolo Lago team
