About Lake Garda
The stay
A fully catered stay in Lake Garda
Lake Garda lies between Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino. Olive groves and vineyards line the southern shores, while the northern end rises into the mountains
A residence in Valtènesi offers a quieter base on the western side of the lake. Our chef prepares the region's produce at home, while the butler and house manager keep the stay running around your plans
Days can include the historic centre of Sirmione, a boat on the lake or visits to the wine estates of Valtènesi. Simone coordinates the outings and the house as one stay
Best months
April to October for lake stays. Spring and autumn are quieter, while July and August bring the busiest lake season
What we arrange
- Private boat outings, weather permitting
- Wine estate visits in Valtènesi
- Visits to Sirmione and lakeside villages
- Transfers and private drivers
- Dinners at the residence with our chef
Getting there
- Verona, Bergamo and Milan airports serve the lake
- The best arrival airport depends on which shore you stay on
