Host, Skipper
I’m a lively boatsoman and like to entertain my guests in my old “cantina”. I also offer guided tours through old Melide where you can see the old cellar/food-store and original canteen of the village or a guided tour on the lake in my boat.
My rustic cantina is newly renovated with a fireplace and a long table built out of wood. It is nicely decorated and perfect to enjoy my fish-specialties.
