San Bernardino Lake is a lake of 11,000 square meters, located about 60 meters from the farm houses, and with a maximum depth of 7 meters.
The lake is natural but in the '50s has been raised to allow a greater capacity for irrigation.
In the '60s the farm and the lake of San Bernardino were left to their own, this has allowed an incredible growth of fish, flora and fauna, still present.
Thanks to the preservation-policy adopted by family Palmerini Pietrelli, which thus prevented the exploitation of the lake protecting the fish and the plants, to date there are pike of 50 cm, record giant carps of 15 kg on average, tench and real perch.
The lake is only available to guests of the farm and in a few days of the week is open for the game-fishing.
It 'absolutely forbidden to sell, trade or cook the fish of San Bernardino Lake.
The caught fish must be absolutely thrown back into the Lake of San Bernardino.
