Luxury Holidays At Grand Hotel A Villa Feltrinelli

Built in 1892 as a summer home, for the family of timber magnate Faustino Feltrinelli, the Neo-Gothic Grand Hotel A Villa Feltrinelli, resides on one of Lake Garda’s finest pieces of waterfront real estate. Purchased in the 1990s by Bob Burns (of Regent Hotels) no expense has been spared in preserving and restoring the villa to its previous state of elegance; the original furniture and furnishings including ceiling frescoes, antique furniture, fine paintings and rare books bestowing a charming air of exclusivity throughout. There are just twenty suites, each with its own stately collection of antiques and every conceivable amenity, including heated marble bathroom floors - twelve of the suites are situated in the main house, the remaining eight lie scattered throughout the grounds. Cuisine is a two Michelin-starred, gastronomic pleasure, focusing on local produce, accompanied by some of Italy’s best vintages from the villa’s wine cellar.

Lakes & Mountains

Grand Hotel A Villa Feltrinelli stands proudly on the banks of stunning Lake Garda - its crystal-clear waters flanked by striking mountains, rolling vineyards and idyllic old towns. With the hotel's impressive selection of classic boats, your destination of choice is just a quick scenic boat ride away. Boasting a varied and beautiful landscape, Lake Garda also offers a selection of interesting excursions for nature lovers, including a visit to the botanic garden at Gardone Riviera.

Romance

With its sparkling waters, rolling hills and charmingly rustic villages, Lake Garda epitomises Italian romance. Meander together through Grand Hotel A Villa Feltrinelli's delightful parkland as you pass lemon houses, olive groves and beautiful Italianate gardens. Explore the hidden corners of Lake Garda aboard the hotel's luxurious, classic Riva boat, or unwind with an indulgent couple's massage at the Regeneration Lounge. Soak up the last of the day's glorious Mediterranean sunshine before enjoying unique, fresh Italian cuisine by candlelight, alongside breathtaking views of the water.

Weddings

The villa and its grounds make a delightful setting for your big day and the private dining room and open-air terrace are perfect reception venues for a small wedding party. For something extra special, private wine-tasting sessions can be arranged in the villa's private wine cellar.

Dining & Gourmet

Creative and passionate, the two-star Michelin chef at grand Hotel A Villa Feltrinelli- Stefano Baiocco - spends as much time in the restaurant's greenhouse and garden as he does in the kitchen, providing a fresh and unique take on traditional Italian cuisine. The emphasis of each dish is on detail, consistency and the matching of flavours - whether a simple salad or complex meat dish - as well as artful presentation. Matching Stefano's glorious cuisine is the exquisite wine list and the restaurant's elegant venue with views over Lake Garda.

Spa Breaks

For complete relaxation and rejuvenation, head to the Villa’s Regeneration Lounge, where guests can enjoy completely natural face and body treatments from an exclusive Tata Harper spa menu. Each therapy provides a pampering and luxurious experience with herbs grown from Tata Harper’s Organic farm in Vermont. Indulge in body treatments - such as the Liquid Gold Organic massage and Serenity Ritual - opt for a rejuvenating facial, or choose a more traditional Swedish massage. An inimitably tranquil space, leave the Regeneration Lounge feeling the same serenity and peace that surrounds Lake Garda.

Hotel Experiences

Explore the eight acres of beautifully landscaped grounds containing an olive grove and a tiered lemon garden; enjoy a lazy afternoon in the scholarly atmosphere of the library or a cruise on the lake, courtesy of the villa's vintage 52-foot wood-panelled yacht. Come the evening, having indulged yourself in some of the finest Italian cuisine, enjoy a timeless classic in the library, magically transformed into a home cinema then follow the lamp-lit pathway to your gorgeous suite for a blissful night's sleep.

Sightseeing in Verona

Verona makes an excellent day trip or evening out. Oozing romance, this pretty, riverside city comprises medieval lanes, elegant palaces, Roman heritage and museums filled with art. Verona is also the setting for Shakespeare’s iconic ‘Romeo & Juliet’. Embark on the special trail dedicated to this famous love story, highlighting points of interest like Juliet’s balcony. Verona’s summertime opera season is a huge event in the cultural calendar, a time when world-class performers draw crowds to the atmospheric Roman Arena. Book tickets in advance.

Lakeside Towns

Lake Garda’s picturesque shores are dotted with charming towns, each ready to be explored. Visit the attractive lakefront town of Riva del Garda, boasting leafy gardens, inviting shops and a selection of world-class ice-cream parlours. Wedged between steep slopes and the lake, enjoy a meander around Malcesine’s maze of hidden alleys, or discover the beautiful town of Lazise and its quaint harbour. Desenzano is adored by locals and visitors alike; narrow streets wind down from the pretty castle to the shore, where there’s a small harbour and larger marina lined with great bars. Meanwhile, nestled on a finger of land pointing into the lake, Sirmione's cobblestone streets and medieval squares bustle with colour and life.

Food and Wine

Thanks to a perfect micro-climate, grapes flourish in the hillside vineyards around Bardolino, a town famous for its wines. Connoisseurs keen to swig the local delights can follow the wine route, ‘La Strada del Vino Bardolino,’ calling in at the likes of the Zeni Winery & Wine Museum. This is a fantastic place to get a feel for the traditions and special processes of wine-making, as well as sampling and purchasing your favourite label. There’s also the 'Festival of the Grape' held annually in the first week of October, showcasing the best local produce in the form of food and drink.

Spectacular Scenery

Comprising striking mountains, alongside the beautiful lake, Garda’s scenery will be sure to captivate you. North of Riva, walking or driving excursions give access to some of the region's most dramatic scenery, including a waterfall at Varone. At Malcesine’s pretty port, a cable car whisks you up to the high grassy summit of the Monte Baldo ridge, where the air is cool, clean and fresh, the views are sensational, and welcoming cafés await stacked with paninis, cakes and ice-creams. Walkers can begin high-level hikes from here.

History

Alongside its scenery and natural treasures, Lake Garda showcases a number of historical spots. Visit Riva del Garda’s waterfront, dominated by one of Garda's fortresses, the Rocca, which contains the town's museum. Marvel at the remains of a Bronze Age settlement at Lake Ledro, before discovering the crags and fortifications of Castello d'Arco. While showing evidence of pre-historic dwellings, the town of Lazise is renowned for its medieval heritage - in particular, the well-preserved city walls and six-towered Castello Scaligero, the latter an impressive backdrop for summertime concerts. Other points of interest include the 13th-century San Zeno church and the 12th-century San Nicolo church.

Family Fun

When it comes to theme parks, the area around Lake Garda certainly delivers. Gardaland Amusement Park is Italy’s largest and regarded by many as one of the world’s best, with rides including the adrenalin-inducing Blue Tornado and Raptor roller coasters. You can also find Movie Studios Park, featuring more rides, shows and stunts, while Aqua Paradise Park offers hours of watery fun for the entire family. Last up, Bussolengo is a local wildlife zoo known for its safari-style experience.

Nature & Gardens

Giardino Sigurtà features ornamental ponds and lakes, a medicinal herb garden, woodland, maze and topiary-sculpted bushes. All of this is surrounded by carpets of tulips, irises, roses, lilies and asters, each bursting into bloom through the different flowering seasons. Another gem is Giardino Botanico Fondazione André Heller on the Gardone Riviera, showcasing plants, ponds and sculptures with a Japanese twist. North of Riva del Garda, Parco Grotta Cascata Varone is known for its scenery, caves and amazing waterfall that spans a 100m drop – view from above and below, thanks to purpose-built walkways.
