Quotes from Wolfgang Abel’s travel guide (affiliate link to Amazon), e.g. about a restaurant on the eastern shore:“Monte Sole is the name of the renovated but well-known multi-purpose address with a panoramic restaurant, beach bar and private beach. The long glass front facing the lake is as impressive as the Sunday ritual of couples, passers-by and large families arriving. Soon after, an orchestrated serving, table setting and display begins. The atmosphere picks up, the pizza oven is red-hot, the hustle and bustle dies down around three o’clock in the afternoon, until everything starts all over again in the evening.”

And about the noble mahogany hulls that cruise across the lake here, he writes: “They look howlingly elegant, above all beautifully expensive. Playboys age, Rivas shine. To this day.”

I like the style and not only did I have a good time, I also researched some of the tours myself and was not disappointed.
