01 · In a sentence

Hotel Gardenia al Lago in Gargnano, open JuneNovember.

Hotel Gardenia al Lago sits directly on the shores of Lake Garda in Gargnano, offering sweeping water views and mountain backdrops across the Lombardy landscape.

The property's lakefront position provides natural drama and Italian lake-country atmosphere for ceremonies and receptions.

The hotel combines modern hospitality with access to both indoor and outdoor event spaces overlooking the water.

We stumbled across this incredible Italian restaurant/hotel by chance while driving to Bergamo airport; and what a find! The setting is absolutely stunning, right on the water with breathtaking views across the lake. The staff were genuinely the warmest and most attentive we experienced in our whole week in Italy. Friendly, welcoming, and they truly went out of their way to make us feel looked after. The menu was refreshingly authentic, with a great range of regional dishes that felt thoughtfully prepared rather than touristy. Everything we ordered was delicious, and surprisingly well priced considering the quality and the location. We will return for a stay in the hotel next time!
