Say “pool party” and summer is here. The heat and the fine weather make it perfect to organise an exclusive party in your Lago Maggiore villa with pool. Water splashes, a happy hour by the pool, music and fun are the main ingredients. Here is our guide to the perfect party.
What are the elements characterising an exclusive and classy pool party? Creating a theme event, where every detail is fit, can really make a difference. You can go for an exotic theme (the hawaiian party, for example) or also choose to recreate a period in history (the 80’s and 90’s are perfect).
You can also play with colours (white is a great classic, but also choosing brighter colours can be a nice idea). You can organise a flamingo party or also a “lights party”, with hundreds of lights and candles by the pool, to create a unique atmosphere at sunset.
Your Lago Maggiore villa with pool will become a sort of a movie set and you will act as the protagonists.
Once you have chosen the theme, then it is time to choose the music. It is essential to have a good music system: today’s wi-fi speakers have an excellent sound. Prepare a nice playlist or, if you are planning something really exclusive, then organise a DJ-set.
If the only possible dress code is the bikini, you can buy many air beds to pump up the party. Pink flamingos, unicorns, pineapples or sea animals are the most common and beloved ones.
Then, you must pay attention to the lights: when the night comes, the right lighting can create a nice atmosphere. Colourful and warm string lights are really scenographic, and you can also put candles and lanterns on the grass, creating a delightful contrast between the green of the lawn and the blue of the water.
When you are having a pool party and it comes to food, the best thing to do is prepare something light and small, like the monoportion finger food. Here are some ideas of appetizers: skewers and home-made ice lollies with fresh fruit, fresh vegetables with tasty sauces, cheese, a colourful salad and quiches. As for cutlery and plates, avoid plastic and choose other materials, such as wood.
In addition, choose a good sparkling wine, like Champagne, or a rosè.
There is no party without a cocktail. The best solution when you have many guests is to use a pitcher and prepare a big cocktail for all. You will need so many ice cubes and easy but at the same time tasty recipes.
For example a good “Americano”, the unmissable Spritz, a cocktail with Champagne or a refreshing punch. But, the king of all cocktails is obviously the gin tonic. And for those who don’t drink alcohol, you can prepare virgin drinks with fruit and soda.
So, now you are ready to organise the party, but don’t have a location. Then, just call Engel & Völkers and we will help you find your home at Lago Maggiore.
