Grand Hotel a Villa Feltrinelli

11 Best Lake Garda Hotels, From Restored Monasteries to Glossy Villas | Condé Nast Traveler

"As soon as you enter this 1800s Art Nouveau lakefront mansion turned boutique hotel, time stands still. A storied, if somewhat dark, history—it was once home to Mussolini and his family—shows in preserved frescoes, stone columns, and an elegant courtyard garden. Each of the 20 rooms is uniquely decorated with antiques and ornate objects, and dinner can be taken in private dining rooms or outside on the pergola; lakeside views framed by olive groves, magnolias, and oaks set the tone for an unplugged stay. In a sleepy spot on the outskirts of Gargnano, it’s peaceful yet close to Lake Garda’s top highlights." - Silvia Marchetti

"In the namesake villa, among Garda’s most spectacular hotels—water in front, mountain behind, park around—you find yourself in an exclusive enclave of silence. Begin with a garden aperitif affording breathtaking views across the lake’s opposite shoreline, then transition indoors or onto the terrace for dining. There are no options save a lengthy surprise tasting menu, crafted by Stefano Baiocco. Several dishes integrate both fish and meat, yet the vegetable realm remains a chef’s true passion, bolstered by an incredible variety of vegetables and primarily aromatic herbs, occasionally paired with more exotic ingredients." - Michelin Inspector
