LA CASETTA
Be moved by the heritage of La Casetta restaurant. This former boathouse sits in the heart of the hotel grounds and is steeped in history. Alongside its culinary treasures La Casetta boasts an exciting story and captivating connection to the peace talks that took place here at the end of the Second World War. Exactly 80 years ago, on 19 March 1945, Allied generals met here under the code name Operation Sunrise with representatives of the German Wehrmacht for crucial talks regarding the German withdrawal from Italy.
Art and Culture
Located in the grounds of the hotel, Casa Epper is the former home and atelier of Swiss impressionist Ignaz Epper. Thanks to a careful restoration project, today Casa Epper has become a meeting place for artists and art enthusiasts, while its garden is cherished as a special place of tranquillity and relaxation.

In summer 2025, Casa Epper will become a stage for powerful art: Hans-Peter Profunser and his students are exploring the fragile relationship between humans and the environment in striking sandstone sculptures. Find out more about the exhibition “In Dialogue with Matter” here.
