Villa Diana is a perfect gathering place for groups of friends or family reunions and can accommodate up to 14 guests. There are 5 double bedrooms, 2 single bedrooms, one twin, 6 bathrooms and 2 additional guest toilets (ground floor). Four of the bathrooms have a shower and one has a bathtub with handheld shower attachment.

Villa Diana is just a few steps from Villa Angela, therefore the 2 properties could be rented together for large parties.

On the ground floor there is an additional third bathroom with shower and facilities for handicapped people.  A buoy is now available just in front of the villa.

The rental price is based on 12 guests in 6 bedrooms.  Additional guests up to 14 may be accommodated for an additional per-person fee.  There is parking for four cars. 

Villa Diana enjoys a large furnished panoramic terrace where guests can take in the breathtaking views while relaxing or dining al fresco.  The villa’s brightly decorated interior develops on two levels of 300 square meters each—about 3300 square feet per floor!  French doors open up to the terrace which is 350 square meters (over 3800 square feet) in size.

A pedestrian path runs along the shore between the lake and the property and allows for easy and enjoyable walks.  There is a good pizzeria along this path at about 3 km.  Because this walkway is public, the privacy on the terrace can be limited, especially during July and August.
