A “lake” of culture

The traces of history

The Garda territory consists of a phenomenal cultural offer. Just a short distance from our boutique hotel in fact, the Shrine of the Italian Victories are situated – museum exhibits of Gardone Riviera, once a residence of the Poet D’Annunzio –, the Museo della Carta (Toscolano Maderno) or the Pile Dwelling museum (UNESCO site) at Ledro. Plus, also, you can visit the many Romanesque churches throughout the territory or combine culture with shopping and high society, opting for nearby Brescia.

Gardone Riviera

The Shrine of the Italian Victories

A splendid museum complex greatly desired by the poet, writer and soldier Gabriele D’Annunzio, who elected it as his fixed abode from 1921 until the end of 1938, the year of his passing. The complex, apart from the Prioria – the villa where the poet lived – consists of the amphitheatre, auditorium, mausoleum and the military ship Puglia.

Lemon groves

Introduced to Lake Garda towards the end of the 1500’s, the purpose of the lemon groves was to protect the fruits from bad weather. From the countless legacies, only a few of them are still active, between Pra de la Fam and Tignale, the largest and most suggestive.

Villa Bettoni

Within, the villa hosts statues, frescoed halls, Rococo staircases, works of art and a spectacular garden in Italian style.
