I have spent quite some time thinking of what to write on our "cover" page. As a born and bred Lombard - that is with both feet firmly on the ground - I first considered the hard facts, thinking of what we had achieved.

The substancial work we put into our lido over the last two years completely transformed it. The special ambiente now sets it apart, while at the same time stressing the existing atmosphere of the place and never forgetting what we wanted to do most of all, to enjoy and share the sea with you.

Later, though, we became more and more aware of the fact, that "Mignon's" special spirit didn't show so much in tangible things as where there was nothing to feel but "air". As a matter of fact, we succeeded in creating spaces, ambiente, a place where one can feel at ease.

Here there is space to breathe and admire the sea, secluded areas to read or to chat, a place for a meditation "downstairs" in an ambiente of particular tranquility and "zen" mood – though still on the beach, but a step away from the sun that seems never to tire of her work.

When dusk finally sets in and we are waiting for a tasty dinner, we gather on the terrace contemplating the moment through the reflections in a glass of wine. Our dishes are simple but sophisticatedly authentic, with original local and therefore always fresh ingredients, and these will raise your experience of the sea to a yet higher level.

Here we try to avoid the way of life we so gladly left at home. There is no "beach animation" (what a nightmare for those who truly love the sea), there is no music on a p.a. not even the terror of a soccer game on the radio. Neither do we stumble over one another as in a beehive.

In brief, we hold our own against the frantic hystery of our times, which will never grant a "cease-fire" and we harbour you in this elegant ambiente, where you can relax at last and feel the elements and yourselves.

We almost forgot - and this is something very tangibile indeed (even if we cannot take the credit for it): We have the sea - and what a sea! Just listen to the wind and the waves: huge ones, a continuous crystal sparkle with foamy white crests. What beauty!

We welcome you, but must now take a splash!

See you soon,
Bianca & Andrew
