Grand Hotel Fasano 5*L

Grand Hotel Fasano, set in a former hunting lodge of the Austrian imperial family, on the shores of Lake Garda, offers panoramic views and lavishing green sceneries, being immersed in a centuries-old park home to rare botanical species. It is decorated in Neo-classical style, featuring shades of white and cream that lend interiors a fresh, bright feel. Rooms are spread out over two buildings. Villa Principe, a 19th-century Germanic-style building with original wooden balconies, houses most of the Standard rooms. It is located on the northern end of the garden, and has its own outdoor area with sunbeds, lending it a secluded intimate feel. The main building houses more Standards along with higher category rooms. They are brightly lit, decorated with ivory-colored furnishings and creamy curtains. All have balconies or terraces, with either lake or mountain views. Marble bathrooms mostly have showers. The elegant Il Fagiano Restaurant with its beautiful dining room with original 19th-century ceilings offers superb cuisine; food is international combining Italian dishes and local produce with ingredients from around the world. Il Pescatore Restaurant serves Italian cuisine in a more informal setting, while Ristorante Magnolia, which is open for lunch, serves Mediterranean cuisine. The cozy Gin Lounge is an excellent spot for a pre- or post-prandial drink, offering more than 100 types of gin and 14 tonics (lovingly prepared with a little fanfare at guests’ tables). The Aveda Spa takes a holistic approach to rejuvenation and relaxation with personalized treatment plans that aim to restore balance to the body. Nail salon and hairdressing services are provided.
