This is a beautiful historic villa with amazing views of Lake Garda. Our room was incredibly spacious with lovely views of the lake. The restaurant is excellent as well. Please note: the hotel is situated on the main road so street noise is constant and can be heard inside and outside of the hotel. Also there are no sidewalks or crosswalks along this busy road so setting out on foot can be difficult.
