Description
In a magical place in the middlle of europe, in Brenzone Lake Garda, we created a small structure for modern people and good living. My wife Verena and me bought a small hotel at the lake front and renovated it. Our 24 year old son Mats, finished his school and is running the public bar. He is passioned for his work, creating own signature drinks and molasses. My wife Verena is in charge of the hotel while I operate the watersports center. We have 9 rooms in our hotel. We are professional in Kitesurfing, wakeboarding and now also in wingfoiling. We also have Stand up paddle. We have a large staff team made up of people from different cultures. English is used as the common language
