01 · In a sentence

Poiano Resort in Garda, open JuneNovember.

Poiano Resort was originally established as a historic villa overlooking Lake Garda, later transformed into a luxury hotel that preserves its classical architecture while offering modern amenities.

Perched on the shores of Italy's largest lake, this property combines period elegance with contemporary hospitality for ceremonies and receptions.

The resort features 57 rooms across its grounds, accommodating multi-day wedding celebrations with lakeside views.

Great place for everybody. All sorts of activities, restaurant on site, laundry equipment. Restaurants off site are close enough to walk to. Old town is a bit of a hike but doable. Rooms are big and well appointed with fridge and stove. If you are the type that likes just toast and coffee in the morning, go get a toaster and skip the 15€ p/p for the morning buffet
