San Bernardino

San Bernardino is a resort town on the eastern shore of Lake Ypacaraí, founded by German settlers in the 1880s and long a weekend retreat for Asunción's families. Its streets are lined with old villas, there is a staircase down to the lake and a lively summer social scene.
Where to stay
The hotels are small. One boutique hotel sits in the historic center near the Escalinata and the lakefront, with a pool and a terrace overlooking the lake, and some rooms have lake-view balconies. Another, in a villa, has lake views and a pool, with private terraces on some rooms. A lodge a few kilometers from the lake is an alternative.
Good to know
The town is about an hour from Asunción and is busiest from December to March, when the lake's water is warm. Water quality in the lake varies, so check before swimming. Midweek stays are far quieter, and the nearby hills have waterfalls and walks.
