Dear all,
This weekend was quite relaxing as the girls enjoyed both indoor and outdoor activities. Alison, with Maria’s help, baked delicious banana bread and brownies and everyone ate it along with some healthy and fresh watermelon.
In addition to the culinary delights, some girls played golf and tennis, while others participated in pilates, horse riding, and stretching and relaxation.
We hope you have a wonderful start to the week!
Best wishes.

Happy birthday Marina! ❤️
We wish you all the very best for today and the year ahead. Your presence brings us a lot of peace and warmth. You are an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and intelligent young lady. Always remember how happy we are to have you in the house with all of us. Here’s to many more extraordinary moments together ✨
One of the highlights of the weekend was the time spent by the lake. The girls eagerly took advantage of the sunny skies to dive into the refreshing waters. It was a perfect way to cool off and have fun, creating lasting memories with friends.
Additionally, the girls embarked on a breathtaking trip to Porto. This vibrant city welcomed them with its rich history and culture. The girls were able to discover the charming architecture, delicious cuisine, and the warm hospitality of the locals. From exploring historic sites to enjoying scenic views, Porto offered a variety of experiences that helped our students learn more about different cultures and appreciate them even more.
Overall, this weekend was a fantastic blend of adventure, learning, and relaxation. It was a reminder of the joy that comes from exploring new places and embracing new experiences. We look forward to many more such enriching weekends in the future!
We are so happy to have you with us and to celebrate your birthday with you. Wow, you’re 18 now, Sarah! We are so proud of you. You are an amazing person, and our house wouldn’t be the same without you. You’ve made yourself loved by everyone, and the day you leave will be a sad one for our house. You are a central part of our family. Merciiiiii for everything you’ve brought to us this year. We wish you the happiest year ahead; you deserve all the best in the world 💕
Dear all,
This evening, we enjoyed our last dinner at home for this academic year. We had lasagna, salad, and tiramisu. It was delicious, and the girls quickly devoured all the food.
Kind regards,

Dear all,
Last weekend, the students embarked on a lovely journey to Venice, a city built upon a lagoon, renowned for its captivating palaces and meandering canals. The trip lasted three days, full of nice activities.
On the first day, everyone strolled through the city, culminating in a dinner of authentic Italian pizza. The following day commenced with a visit to the magnificent Doge’s Palace, where the girls had a guided tour delving into its rich history. Energized by lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, they relished free time to explore further. Some students decided to join a quintessential Venetian experience with a gondola ride, while others explored the city, savoring gelato along the way.
On the final day, the students ventured to Murano Island to uncover the artistry of glassmaking. Witnessing the craftsmen at work was truly captivating, and the students thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They also had the opportunity to procure Murano glass souvenirs during their leisure time on the island. Returning to the main island, everyone visited the renowned Fenice Theater, concluding the day with some shopping before returning to the hotel for dinner.
Overall, it was a truly memorable experience! Please enjoy the delightful pictures from our trip below.
Best wishes,
Villa du Lac Team 😊
Dear all,
This long weekend – or “le pont” (🌉) as French speakers would say – the girls enjoyed some exciting activities and made the most of the lovely weather. Some of these included chess, volleyball, wakeboarding, a trip to Annecy (known as the “Venice of the Alps”), and a visit to the actual Venice (keep an eye out for an upcoming post about this lovely adventure, a favorite destination for some so far!).
During the weekend, we also took some time to watch the Eurovision contest (with Switzerland as the winner, making the day for our Swiss girls!) and did some stargazing on the terrace Saturday night. Unfortunately, our hopes of seeing the northern lights were not fulfilled, but we enjoyed the time trying to spot them with nice music.
Finally, on Sunday, Miss Alison baked some super tasty and amazing banana bread, brownies, along with watermelon for the health-conscious ones! (Yummmy!)
Keep an eye out for the post on Venice, and we wish you all an amazing week ahead!
Best wishes,
Villa du Lac Team 😊
