Quietly and peacefully
nestled in the pines, a short 4 miles from the village of Bar Harbor, lies the
answer to "Where can I go and just RELAX?". Far Niente, named after one of Bar
Harbor's original "cottages", as well as an historical winery in Napa, means
quite literally "doing nothing". Or, perhaps a bit more poetic translation might
be "without a care". Well, if "doing nothing" and being "without a care" is your
desire while on holiday..... You've found it at last in Far Niente! Step
on in...
Take a one minute walk after your barbecue to Frenchman Bay and
enjoy the spectacular views shown on the picture to the left.
Hiking and biking in Acadia National Park, kayaking on the bay, or simply
watching eagles soar, loons fishing, and harbor porpoises playing are
all just waiting for you. Bring a pair of sandals, a good book, and your
imagination. Far Niente awaits your arrival to provide you with all these
pleasurable times.
