The Vittoriale degli Italiani, or Shrine of Italian Victories, monumental citadel on the hillside of Gardone Riviera and estate residence of the poet Gabriele d’Annunzio from 1921 to 1938, is only 2 kilometres from the hotel distant.
In Gardone Riviera there is also the botanical garden of the André Heller Foundation which represents an important artistic and ecological destination, where nature embraces artificial structures and contemporary sculptures creating amazing scenic effects.

We would like to mention:

• paintings by Andrea Celesti in the church of Toscolano
• the Cathedral of Salò
• the sites of the 1859 Battle of Solferino
• S. Giacomo hamlet in Gargnano
• Arco Castle
• Sirmione Castle
• the Valtenesi castles
• Rocca di Lonato (Lonato castle)
• and many other destinations for discovery

The combination of the old-centuries tradition and the Mediterranean micro-climate of the lake makes the Garda a thriving area for vineyards and oil tree groves.
Garda’s DOP extra virgin oil and typical wines like the Chiaretto del Garda, the Lugana and Garda’s classic red produced by many and renowned wineries scattered all over the local territory must be pointed out.
One unfailing evening attraction are the numerous country festivals, where you can enjoy yourself eating the specialities of the place in a typical local atmosphere.

From the hotel’s site it is possible to reach the outback country of the Lake Garda so that you can immerse yourself in pleasant country walks to the mount Spino (rifugio or mountain cabin), mount Pizzoccolo (1581mt. and beautiful view on all the Lake Garda) and to the Valvestino Valley from which a dozens of hiking trails both suitable for trekkers and bike-riders start.
Only a few kilometres distance from the hotel there are 4 different golf courses fitting both advanced and amateurs players: Golf il Colombaro at Salò, Gardagolf Country at Soiano, Bogliaco Golf Resort at Bogliaco and Arzaga at Calvagese.
Lake enthusiasts have the possibility to rent sailing boats, motor boats and therefore plunge themselves in the search of the most remote spots of the Lake Garda.
