Welcome to Far Niente

A lot of paradise in a small package 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...

A view of paradiseTake the 1 minute walk after a barbeque on the patio to your private beach on Frenchman Bay and enjoy spectacular views as shown in 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.
