With majestic Italian mountains and clear blue lake waters, Lake Garda is a real-life postcard to visit. If you’re dreaming of an unforgettable hotel in Lake Garda, then this is the place for you.
The Grand Hotel Fasano & Villa Principe is nestled in Gardone Riviera, a small town full of charm along the edge of Lake Garda. With its elegance and fascinating history, this five-star hotel teleports you to another world. It is an oasis of relaxation situated in a 12,000 square-meter park, landscaped with palms and banana trees. This imponent property used to be the hunting lodge chosen by the Austrian imperial family in 1888. The location is one of its kind because of its proximity to the mesmerizing waters of Lake Garda.
The Grand Hotel Fasano & Villa Principe is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, a prestigious collection of independent and uncommon luxury hotels throughout the world. It is also renowned for its certificate of excellences, worthy of Condé Nast Johansens Award for Excellence as “Best Waterside Hotel” in Europe and the Mediterranean for 2021 and Haute Grandeur, Global Hotel Awards.
This historic five-star hotel has different rooms and suites available for each type of guest; from grand suite & family suite to the executive, deluxe room to the superior and finally, Villa Principe room. All the rooms allow visitors to lose themselves in comfort, style and beauty.
I stayed in the executive room, a stunning, open-space bedroom with a balcony facing the picturesque Lake Garda, surrounded by tropical plants and of course, Italian pine trees.
The room is specious and full of character, with particular attention to details: delicate Egyptian cotton sheets, bottle of Champaign for guests to cheers on their vacation retreat and Baci Perugina chocolate with a personalized, goodnight note are one of the few of the many touches you will find at The Grand Hotel Fasano.
One of the favorite parts of the property was the heated pool overlooking the hotel on one side and the lake on the other side. The pools reminded me of the ancient roman baths with a contemporary touch.
Breakfast is a real experience. There is plenty of choices, even for the pickiest eater and greater attention is placed on those who have allergies or have food intolerances. Daily breakfast is included in your booking.
La Darsena Restaurant 
Scallops with oriental sauce and wasabi cream.
The Grand Hotel Fasano has four restaurant venues, extensive even for a five-star hotel. Il Fagiano is the hotel’s signature restaurant. I had an amazing dinner at the restaurant La Darsena. Highly recommended for a relaxing lunch or dinner overlooking the lake.
Captivating experiences are an integral part of a luxury stay travel and The Grand Hotel Fasano & Villa Principe offers a number of unique activities for its guests, from Aveda AQVA spa treatments to sunset cruises, BMW driving experience and cycling tours along the Garda area.
Whether you’re booking a stay at The Grand Hotel Fasano & Villa Principe to spend quality time with a loved one, friend, or to explore the surrounding location of Lake Garda during an invigorating cleanse, this is a hotel where you will fall in love with la dolce vita.
