Cottage sul lago

You can say "cottage" in Italian, too. Here follows the definition from my Devoto - Oli dictionary.

Cottage: casa di campagna, spec. a un solo piano, intonata all'ambiente rustico circostante.

... e abbiamo subito realizzato che avremmo apprezzato molto il nostro soggiorno lì, nel cottage sul lago. In pochi minuti di osservazione abbiamo registrato:

\"Villa sul lago\" (or \"villa al lago\") is OK if the house you are talking about is bigger and elegant.

Here is the definition for villa, too: tipo di abitazione ampia ed elegante, circondata da un giardino o parco più o meno estesi.
