Built in 1888 as a hunting lodge for the Austrian Imperial family, Grand Hotel Fasano stands as a rare find set among water, woods, and sky, and a timeless icon recognized as a National Italian heritage site. Perched directly on the shores of Lake Garda in Gardone Riviera, this five-star retreat is set within a 12,000-square-meter park filled with palms and banana trees. Owned by the same family for three generations, the hotel embodies refined elegance with the wild harmony of a centuries-old park, where guests have private lake access and breathtaking alpine views. Located on the edge of the Dolomites, halfway between Venice and Milan, the property has two historic buildings: the main hotel and Villa Principe, both dating to the early 19th century. Elegant interiors welcome guests with refined rooms and luxurious decor, with many rooms offering vistas of lovely Lake Garda. This family-run spot offers an authentic Italian experience steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty.
