La Isla is designed for gathering as much as for retreat. Between the Coihue House and the Lenga House, guests move freely through living rooms with fireplaces, dining rooms where meals unfold slowly, and smaller sitting areas indoors and outdoors for reading or conversation. Wide decks open toward the lake and mountains, shifting with the season: snow in winter, long light in summer. The kitchens are the heart of each house. Fire is never far.
