Accommodations

A collection of suites with timeless character.

Spread across five restored buildings, the accommodations feel more like private residences than traditional hotel rooms. Each of the twenty suites is individually designed, with its own character, layout, and perspective on the surrounding gardens, parkland, or lake. Antique furnishings, spacious marble bathrooms, and thoughtful details reflect the villa's historic roots, while the intimate scale of the property ensures every stay feels personal.

A quiet retreat among the gardens.

Surrounded by the villa's landscaped grounds, the heated outdoor pool is finished in green-gray granite that blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings. Framed by gardens and lake views, it's an ideal place to spend a leisurely afternoon between explorations of Lake Garda.

Set within the property's lemon gardens overlooking the lake, the outdoor fitness area offers a scenic setting for a workout. Equipment includes a treadmill, exercise bike, cross-trainer, free weights, and strength-training stations.
